Maybe you are a techie that loves infusing technology with everyday things. Perhaps you just like fun gadgets that make your life easier. Of course, you might be overworked and overly stressed and are just looking for something to lighten the load. Whichever is your case – when it comes to the kitchen – there are loads of gadgets that are tech driven, easy to use, and make your cooking experience both fun and less stressful.
Smart Espresso Machine
The first thing each morning, most of us require a “wake up” cup of morning coffee…
One of the best “smart” espresso machines comes from Nespresso. Of course, this Swiss giant has dominated the espresso machine space for a long time now – but – their smart machine is proof why. Paired with Bluetooth to your phone, the Nespresso App will let you start the machine and lets you know if your machine needs your assistance (descaling, full capsule container or if your water tank is empty). Its LED alert informs you when you are running low on capsules. Plus, Nespresso is now all about choices with this baby – you can customize brew, strength and size according to your taste.
Temperature Control Mug
Speaking of coffee…
How many times do you find yourself returning to the microwave to heat up a cold cup of coffee? No more. There are now smart mugs that keep your favorite beverage at the perfect temperature for every sip. Plus, if you need to step away, you can control the mug with a smartphone app. Ember’s Temperature Control Smart Mug² is one of the best on the market.
Smart Toaster
Seriously, why has it taken so long for this type of toaster to be perfectly realized?
Toasters like the Revolution InstaGLO ensures your breakfast is toasted perfectly, every time. This smart toaster features a touchscreen so you can select the item you’re toasting, whether it’s fresh or frozen and the ideal level of crispness. As if that isn’t great enough – this appliance works much faster than a traditional toaster.
Smart Pasta Maker
If you love home cooking but still buy it by the box…
The Philips smart pasta maker will change your world! Who doesn’t love freshly made pasta and with this machine? You can churn out fresh, homemade pasta in just 10 minutes. Yes, 10 minutes. You just add your ingredients, then let the machine mix, knead and shape your favorite pasta. Fantastico!
WiFi and Bluetooth Sous Vide
Not brave enough to try Sous Vide? You can be now…
Perhaps what has stopped you before is the hardware and processing needed for Sous Vide cooking. Now, machines such as the one produced by Breville makes it so much easier. The temperature-controlled water bath cooks with precision and the app displays exactly how the food looks as it cooks. Simple and no overcooked food!
Automatic Pan Stirrer
Put down the whisk, the spook, or the spatula…
The most delicious sauces require a ridiculous amount of attention. They may be totally worth it, but let’s face it, it can be a pain to constantly stir. This automatic stirrer takes that pain away. Place it in your pan with any simmering or low-heat liquid, set the timer, and go do the million other things you need to do. It rotates back and forth directly in the pan to replace manual stirring. Uncommon Goods has one available on their website if you are interested in picking up one of these bad boys.
So, now you know the skinny on some of the coolest and high-performing tech gadgets out there. Time to get cooking!
