passing down objects or family recipes is a very important thing to many, and can be something to remind people of their deceased ones. It is tragic when the recipe is warped by time or misreadings and gets changed. The solution is Hand Me Down Baking, that way recipes can be unchangeable and solid. The project is made out of stackable clay cylindrical boxes that are set to a specific measurement unknown to the user. The boxes are stacked in the order that the ingredients must be added to the recipe. The ingredient is represented by a small icon on the outside of the cup. Written instructions are minimalised to prevent language barriers.

the piece can be used to teach kids family recipes and help pass them down.
