Cocinado (cooking) can be a long and tiresome process, no matter how fulfilling and yummy the end result.
As someone who loves cooking up scrumptious meals, feats like chopping and cleaning can make it super tiring. Not to forget the pure disappointment when all of your effort goes down the drain because you forgot to turn off the oven on time.
Events like these make me wish for a kitchen made up of ultra-smart gadgets like a vegetable dispenser that stores and dispenses freshly chopped vegetables. A fridge that communicates what is inside it when I am second-guessing myself about the grocery list inside the store. A cooking unit that takes in all the ingredients and churns out a perfectly cooked meal. A pressure cooker that automatically sets cooking temperature according to my stew’s consistency.
However, the sad reality is that some of these are exactly what they sound like; fantasy. But don’t lose hope yet as we are inching towards kitchens with ultra-smart gadgets like these, and we already have some of these gadgets available in the market.
Let’s discuss the best smart kitchen gadgets you can get right now.
Smart Refrigerators
Gone are the days when refrigerators would only cool stuff.
Smart refrigerators are your perfect kitchen companion. They connect to your WiFi and allow you to remotely control them. Moreover, these refrigerators are equipped with intelligent machine learning models (basically AI), which learn your temperature preferences and adjust them accordingly.
Most have AI-enabled touchscreen interfaces that let you mirar (watch) videos, check fridge inventory, and recommend recipes based on what is inside. These are also equipped with preventive maintenance technology that reminds you about due maintenance and filter cleanups that prevent your fridge from breaking down.
Moreover, these fridges even tell you which food items are inside and when they will expire. Even if you are away from home. The best part is that these are equipped with AI-assistants that notify you whenever an item is about to expire. Moreover, these intelligent assistants act as your perfect kitchen companion from whom you can converse, ask questions, and request songs.
However, a super important pre-requisite for smart refrigerators is 24/7 internet connectivity. Only then will you be able to control your fridge remotely and use its AI abilities. If you do not have a reliable internet connection, I have an amazing experience with Spectrum internet. You can contact the Spectrum Servicio al Cliente en español to inquire about their super-reliable internet plans.
Smart Instant Pot
For amateur cooks, the most nerve-wracking thing about cooking is not knowing if something is cooking fine or not. Especially with pressure cookers and instant pots, which you cannot anxiously peek inside.
But we can thank technology again, because it is here to literally save our lives, again.
The Instant Pot was already the rage when it was released into the market. But its smart variant, i.e., the Smart WiFi Instant Pot, is here to take easy and convenient cooking up a notch.
This specific Instant Pot is WiFi-enabled and has a mobile application to make cooking convenient and less scary. The Instant Pot App comes with more than 750 pre-programmed Instant Pot recipes. These can be a lifesaver for amateur cooks who want to impress a loved one with their culinary skills.
The app instructs you from ingredients to cooking steps, like you are a 5-year-old. It even tells you when to natural release and when to quick-release the Instant Pot. The best part is that you can see what is happening inside your Instant Pot through graphics. This not only will ease your anxiety, but will equip you to carry forward with your cooking like a pro.
Moreover, the Smart WiFi Instant Pot lets you control the Instant Pot while being away.
Smart Stand Mixer
My last pick for this smart kitchen gadgets writeup is a smart Stand Mixer.
Mixing is an important aspect of baking, but a smart batidora de pie (stand mixer) can help you in more ways than just mixing.
A smart stand mixer, or more specifically, the GE Profile Smart Mixer has a variety of smart features that can ease baking for you. Its auto-sense technology gauges the consistency and viscosity of the batter to adjust the mixing speed and intensity. This means you won’t have to deal with an over-mixed or an under-mixed batter. The mixer will handle that for you.
It also has a built-in smart scale, which means you can directly throw in the ingredients. Moreover, you can also control the miser with a phone application or use your Alexa or Google Home to voice-control it.
Apart from these uber-smart capabilities, it is also very easy to handle, has a display, and is suitable for both left or right-handed bakers.
That is it for my top picks on must-have smart kitchen gadgets. Not only do these make cooking seem less of a chore, but they also help you save loads of time and energy.
