Interesting Tech Gadgets for the Kitchen

In the general discussion of high tech gadgets related to the home, the topics that usually dominate are in relation to home security or home automation. A surveillance camera perhaps or a coffee maker that you can turn on from the comfort of your bed. With these conversations, however, an area of the home that may not get as much attention as it deserves is the kitchen, so here we are shining some light in another direction.

 

Below is a list of some of the more interesting (and possibly unheard of) high tech gadgets related to the kitchen:

 

Handheld Portable Toaster

One of the most popular (and even more frustrating) breakfast phenomenon is not being able to set the toaster to the right time and having the bread pop up so charred that it can’t be eaten. Interestingly, there is a device that can be utilized to have the bread toasted ‘just right’ every time without fail – the handheld toaster.

 

Shaped similar to a cake knife, all the user would have to do is hold it in one hand and the bread in another, then move the knife along the surface and watch as it becomes crisp. In essence, the same process as if an individual was applying butter or jam.

 

This device is even more attractive when considering that other items that people generally toast – bagels for instance – are generally too large to fit into a traditional toaster, so being able to use the handheld toaster to apply a bit of heat is quite a convenience. Additionally, there are those who prefer one side to be more toasted than the other, which would also be an unlikely objective to achieve with a regular toaster.

 

Egg Minder

If the bread being burnt by the toaster ranks among the biggest breakfast frustrations, then this next one is certainly also among the lot. Imagine getting home from the supermarket and unpacking all the groceries, just to realize at that time that there is only one egg left in the tray – unless you live within walking distance of the store, you’re likely to be pretty bummed.

 

There is now a device that you can use to know that the quantity is running on ‘E’ without even having to open the refrigerator door. This cool kitchen gadget is the Egg Minder. With this device, individuals can check their inventory from wherever they are to know whether or not they need to pick up a tray. Notably, even if they don’t check it themselves, the supported app will deliver a notification to inform them that the egg count is low.

 

Displaying a range of conveniences, the Egg Minder also comes equipped with a feature that notifies users when their eggs are going bad. No longer does it require the unpleasant scent from the cracked egg to know that the egg has passed it edible level of freshness, simply check the status on your phone and you’re good to go.

 

 

Everyone enjoys some “spirits” every now and then, but not everyone knows how to make them and not everyone knows what to make some of their favorite drinks with. While it may be hard to believe, there is actually a device that can be utilized to help those who want to indulge – the Perfect Drink Smart Bartender.

 

With the device, users have access to over 100 drink recipes of drinks and cocktails they can whip up themselves. The device is made up of a pretty smart scale and an app that is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. Once a glass is placed on the scale, it presents real-time instructions as to what proportion of each ingredient should be added to create the ideal drink.

 

Impressively, the high tech drink assistant also has the ability to make suggestions on drinks that can be made based on a list of items entered –therefore, there is no need to run to the store to acquire what you don’t have, simply enjoy what you do have.

 

In years gone by, to be anywhere close to competent in the art of mixology an individual would have to have a lot of practice or gone to a school that educates about cocktails and similar drinks. With the smart bartender, all of that knowledge is literally at ones fingertips.

 

Simplehuman Sensor Bin

It is oftentimes overlooked, but being able to properly dispose of one’s garbage should rank among the top list of priorities for all those who spend a lot of time in the kitchen. With discarding waste materials, however, there is generally a common issue – how to get the trash can open. Given that the scent can become unpleasant, most people tend to go for a can with a lid versus one without, but being in the kitchen no one wants to have to wash their hands each time they touch the bin.

 

With the simplehuman sensor bin, such an occurrence is essentially a “non-issue”, as a simple wave of the hand is enough to prompt the lid to open automatically. Notably, one does not have to be directly in front of the device for such a process to occur – it opens automatically from any angle that the wave is coming from.
