How is everyone doing? Is everyone having the right meal at the right time? Expert says that the morning breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gives us energy to start the day. So I am just curious as all of you, how many people out there still cook at home these days? I mean, let's face it, with all the techs and delivery service, not to mention fast food, we hardly cook at home because we are so caught up with our work and social life. But still I believe that some of you out there still cook the loving tender meal for the family. Well, for this reason I am going to share with you how to cook smartly.
Smart Kitchen
Over the past year, much of the new product innovation in smart home has been around some well understood areas: security, comfort, and convenience. While this focus on straightforward use-cases from smart home entrepreneurs makes sense since all can be vastly improved through the application of smart technology, what doesn’t make as much sense is the comparatively little focus from smart home innovators on the kitchen.
I don't know about you, but the kitchen has always been the central gathering place in any home in which I’ve lived, and while some may think it’s a fad, I think we're all fairly invested in this thing we call eating.
But it’s more than how central the kitchen is to all of our lives. There are a number of trends that support the fusion of technology and the kitchen, including growing interest in cooking by consumers, the emergence of automated food delivery, and the simple fact that mobile technology has already become indispensable to many of us in the kitchen.
In fact, according to NextMarket Insights in October 2014, 24% of those who cook for themselves or others use a tablet or smartphone “all the time” in the kitchen to help them find information about food or to help with cooking itself. Another 34% use this technology on a semi-frequent basis.
So with all the apps that are available in the market to help home cookers to prepare their desired meal, they still need some nice hardware that can not only do the job but also doing it in an efficient way.
Home Smart Grill
This is not your average household grill and The Palate Smart Grill from Palate Home is one of them. It can cook almost any food perfectly based on weight, composition, and desired done-ness, all controlled through an iPad app. This high quality cooking appliances are precise and powerful. It can reach 250°C quickly and hold it with the resilience of a cast iron skillet, yet is accurate to one degree increments at lower temperatures. And even though it can pull 1800W when needed, on average the energy usage is more like a 60W light bulb, thus saving on the energy bills.
Smart Frying Pan
Temperature control and perfect timing in a pan. This gadget lets you check the exact temperature inside your salmon, steak or whatever else you've got sizzling and let’s you know when it’s ready without having to stick a fork in it. One of them is the Pantelligent app for iPhone that monitors the cooking and lets you know the ideal time when the food is done.
Drop Connected Kitchen Scale
This one aims to be an easy-to-use kitchen baking scale that guides you through select recipes connected to an iPad app. You pick out which recipe you want on the app and then place a bowl on the bluetooth connected scale, drop in each ingredient until the app says you have added enough into the bowl and follow along with the instructions to make the perfect cake, cookies or whatever else you desire. Talk about convenience!
Smart Preparation Pad
Some smart preparation pad such as Prep Pad tallies up nutritional info from the foods added to any bowl on its connected food scale. The information is then transferred to an iPad app so you know exactly how many carb, fat and protein calories are in your food. It then gives you an overview of every ingredient you put on Prep Pad throughout your week and logs that with your connected Jawbone Up to help you meet your health goals.
Utensils
There are some utensils in the market that not only work as just a normal fork and spoon but it also share information on the user. For example, the HAPIfork is an electronic fork that helps you monitor and track your eating habits for weight loss. It measures how long it took you to eat, the amount of fork servings and the time in between servings. It then uploads that info to an app via USB or Bluetooth to show you what you are doing.
Coffee Maker
Who could miss out the ever important gadgets of our life: the coffee maker. Since this coffee maker has been used in majority of homes in the world, many brands have tried to research and develop the most efficient coffee maker for the global users and one of them is Siemens. Siemens is not in the business of making kitchen gadgets. It’s creating the makeup of the actual kitchen infrastructure itself. It has a slew of appliances that are connected to a single app. This coffee maker is a part of that. Push a button on your phone beside your bed and you've got your morning espresso ready to go.
Smart Oven
This connected kitchen appliance allows you to control cooking remotely from your smartphone. Such a technology has already been out in the market and you may find one of this in LG. Click on the LG Smart Access Range app to set it and forget it. It also lets you send recipes to your range.
Worthy Or Not?
So as I have share some of the product that can help to make your life more convenient and healthier, is it worthy to spend the money for a kitchen? We are already in the technology era and many apps or software are being developed to meet our life's expectancy. We should start looking at which item that can give the best quality of life, not to mention helping us to utilise the energy efficiently. So if you ask is it worthy to upgrade your kitchen, it depends on how you want it to be.
Hope that this information may help you to decide what's the next best action.
