Food Processor For People Who Have Trouble Swallowing

One of the challenges of being elderly is eating. Imagine not being able to eat your favorite beef steak during lunch or dinner while the rest of the family enjoys the sumptuous meal. These elderly people would probably wish for a food machine that can soften the food so it can be easily chewed. Of course, it goes without saying that the food should still look appetizing.

This is where the DeliSofter comes in.

Foodstuffs processed in it can be chewed with the tongue and gum, whereas their flavors and shapes are not altered.

It kinda looks and sounds (and reads) like a pressure cooker with a little tray sitting in it. I'm not sure why you wouldn't just use a pressure cooker of your own (you can get little trays). One flaw is that they do tend to make the foods taste a bit like each other if they are cooked together. I don't mind that, but it is worth realising

Oh I would imagine if you're 90, chewing tough meat is probably the least of your worries. Besides limitations and contrast that make life worth living. If you lived 500 years and a robot did everything for you, you wouldn't want to be alive.
