11oz Black Mug “From Dough to Innovation—Ashbourne’s Lasting Legacy.”
$13.00 – $17.00
I believe you’re referring to Alexander P. Ashbourne, an African American inventor who revolutionized biscuit-making and coconut oil processing in the 19th century.
Early Life & Background
- Born into slavery in Philadelphia around 1820.
- Worked in wheat harvesting, where he began thinking of ways to improve efficiency.
- Freed by 1847, after Pennsylvania abolished slavery.
Innovations & Patents
- Became a caterer, serving Philadelphia’s elite.
- Noticed biscuits were hand-patted and lacked uniformity, inspiring him to create a spring-loaded biscuit cutter.
- Patented his biscuit cutter in 1876, allowing cooks to cut dough into uniform shapes efficiently.
- Developed a process for refining coconut oil, receiving a patent in 1880—his method made coconut oil widely usable in food, cosmetics, and scented products.
- In total, he received four patents, contributing to culinary and industrial advancements.
Later Life & Legacy
- Moved to Oakland, California, where he ran a convenience store.
- Passed away in 1915 at the age of 95.
- His inventions continue to impact food production and cosmetic industries today.
Ashbourne’s ingenuity and perseverance make him a remarkable figure
