Abstract—The culinary world is filled with intricacies that affect not only the flavor but also the safety of the food that we eat. Specifically, the art of seasoning does not come without its risks, most importantly the risk of cross-contamination during the cooking process. This paper introduces a novel invention, SeAIsoning, a voice-activated spice dispenser designed to prevent this issue. SeAIsoning’s primary objective is to reduce cross-contamination while also enhancing the overall cooking process by providing hands-free, voice-activated spice dispensing. SeAIsoning will be a seamless solution for home cooks, professional chefs, and everyone in between. It can be used in both recipe mode, following a user-inputted recipe, or simply spice dispensing mode, ensuring users can access their spices effortlessly even while busy with other tasks. In summary, SeAIsoning is an innovative spice dispenser that minimizes cross-contamination and provides a more streamlined and efficient cooking process. This paper will expand upon our technical development, functionality, and capabilities of SeAIsoning, the future of kitchen automation, and culinary progress
