I have a question (or two) for you, SarahLee. Do you cook or bake at all? If so, for how long and how good at it would you say you are? You are vague about what kind of 'product' (virtual app? a physical machine? a better mousetrap? a microwave dinner?) you intend to 'design' - so which way are you going with this?
I am sorry but I looked at your survey and I can't even answer the questions (or most of them). I agree with gfweb - I can't see how the few and very vague questions asked would help with the task you seemed to have outlined. And for someone like me, I don't think the questions are well worded to solicit the type of information you may need to design a product that I would guess is geared towards very young people primarily.
I will tell you that I am 66 years old, female, and raised 3 children and more than 1 husband - all of whom I cooked for daily for many, many years. After all these years in the kitchen, I own way too many kitchen 'gadgets', many of them exorbitantly expensive, and absolutely need none of them but some are fun and timesaving from time to time. I read cookbooks for fun but rarely use recipes. I measure only when absolutely critical (more likely in baking - can't recall the last time I measured much of anything while cooking otherwise). Many years of experience mean that I can gauge quantities pretty well and I use a lot of kitchen science by intuition now. Of course, if I were to haul out my modernist cuisine ingredients (haven't for a while now), I would be using very precise measurements for those minute quantities.
I eat at fast food restaurants perhaps once every few years and then only if travelling and there are no other options. I was raised in the day they didn't exist - ALL meals were at home.. The way to get kids to stop eating at fast food restaurants is to close them all and force people to eat at home again but what is the chance that is going to happen these days?
I know there are younger people here on the board but many of us are 'old hands' in the kitchen. We regularly discuss (as I am sure you know since I am certain that you spent a lot of time reading to determine that this was a good place to post your survey request ... right?) new gadgets and techniques here. Have you tried the Instant Pot? Do you have a Searzall, a Thermomix, or a combi oven or do you have a freeze dryer? Have you checked out many of the newest gadgets that people are promoting on crowdsourcing sites - we do! We discuss mis en place and basic cooking techniques as well as complicated techniques and avant-garde cuisines (from all over the world). People talk about gadgets with apps that control them - and those who like those chime in and others say how little those would work in their world. We even talk about ready to eat foods and potato chip flavours, and the price of cauliflower, not to mention fast food restaurants (which is not a forum I am a major participant in but it is interesting at times).
You can learn a lot here but you would have to stay a while and read ... and participate. And then spread the word that we are here and your target audience can come and ask questions about how to cook ... and perhaps they will get excited enough to try it. We would be happy to help them and answer their questions about cooking and all things culinary. That may be just the ticket to get them to stay home and cook!
