TIM3 MACHIN3 Takes Families Back to Healthier Eating

TIM3 MACHIN3 Takes Families Back to Healthier Eating


3 Squares introduces the ultimate food appliance on Kickstarter: TIM3 MACHIN3 voted "Staff Pick" and reaches over 600% of funding goal
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In addition to the joy and great times shared with family and friends, the holidays have one other consistent element: food: Lots and lots of food. There's nothing wrong with a little holiday splurging, but what about shaking bad eating habits when the holidays come to an end?
Use the TIM3 MACHIN3 for homemade yogurt!
If only we could jump into a time machine to turn back the clock on all those calories.
The crowdfunding community at Kickstarter has collectively made its resolution to get back on track with the TIM3 MACHIN3™ from 3 Squares.  The project is currently being funded at over 600% of its goal and while it can't travel through time and melt away the pounds, it does make it a lot easier to make fast, healthy meals at home.
The TIM3 MACHIN3™ is a yogurt maker; and a rice cooker; and a slow cooker; and a food steamer; plus it also makes quinoa and oatmeal. The brilliance of the TIM3 MACHIN3 is its automation—just add the ingredients, select your cooking function and the TIM3 MACHIN3™ takes care of everything else. That means less time in kitchen and more time for what's important.
"Maintaining healthy eating habits can be really difficult to do, especially after falling out of a healthy routine," said Kyle Erickson, EVP at 3 Squares. "After another long day, drive-thrus and microwaves are a tempting respite from spending hours in the kitchen. We wanted to create an appliance that would make eating healthy food at home seem less like a chore."
The TIM3 MACHIN3 tackles yogurt like no other appliance available in the market. The chief complaint of those who've tried (usually only once!) to make homemade yogurt is that there are too many steps involved—there's heating and holding milk to a precise temperature, letting it cool, adding starter culture and then incubating the mixture until it becomes the tart treat we all love. With the TIM3 MACHIN3, all of these steps are handled automatically and with precision, making it an amazingly simple process—and one you'll be happy to repeat!  Just mix in some granola or strawberry jam for a quick snack or breakfast on the run.

"First there's the cost of buying yogurt in the store, then there's the concern about what ingredients are being used. We felt that if we could make the process painless, we'd be able to convince more people to make their own yogurt at home and to see for themselves how much better it tastes," said Todd Rogers, president of 3 Squares. "When you add the ability to cook rice and grains, slow cook and make oatmeal, the TIM3 MACHIN3 becomes an amazing tool for healthy eating," Rogers explained.
The TIM3 MACHIN3™'s funding period at Kickstarter ends on December 10th, 2014.
