The topic of the diploma thesis deals with the problem of repeated, subconscious tasting of dishes with the same kitchen utensil during the cooking process. The behavior, which can be found in both amateur and professional chefs, is a serious problem from a hygienic point of view. Especially in the case where a person cooks for guests and can transmit infectious diseases by their actions. The diploma thesis in the research-analytical phase uses research methods to study the relevance of the issue and factors of hygienic objection to tasting dishes in domestic and professional use, kitchen events, different profiles of people, causes and consequences of unhygienic behavior, the possibility of integrating technology into the final solution and product ergonomics. The conceptual phase is followed by the planning, prototyping and testing of conceptual solutions. The final result of the diploma thesis is a designed kitchen utensil, which in the most optimal way solves the problem of repeated tasting of food with the same kitchen utensils. The device uses UV-C sterilization technology, which enables efficient sterilization of two pieces of kitchen utensils in a few minutes, easy cleaning and the possibility of hanging or depositing the device on a flat surface.
