10 Gadgets To Build Out Your Dream Smart Kitchen

When the first fridge with a built-in screen was released, the world lost its collective mind. After all, who needs a touchscreen on a fridge, right? Whether we like it or not, the world of IoT has spun out a plethora of gadgets that we can use to save time, enjoy life, or more often than not, just slap some internet on it for no reason. We’re looking at you, Bluetooth connected grill thermometers with a max distance of 30 feet.

Although CES wasn’t jam packed with the most innovative devices this year, manufactures have made it clear that their priorities have shifted towards refining products based on what consumers want. In the kitchen, that means devices are now helping us make healthier food choices, cook better meals, and manage more things at once.

Anova Sous Vide

“Sous vide” is a way of cooking or preparing food, which churns out restaurant quality results. In the past few years, a few connected versions have been released, with Anova being one of the more popular. We also use it for brewing beer, but either way, the Anova works amazingly well and is affordable for the technology.

Amazon Echo Dot

Cookbooks? Forget that. With the Amazon Echo Dot, you can easily get your recipes dictated to you, all with a side of terrible jokes. And when you're done cooking (depending on where you live), you can use Amazon Pantry to refill your supplies.

HAPIfork

Remember back in the day when your parents told you to slow down when you were eating? Regardless of the reason they may have given you, the speed in which you eat does play a role on both digestion and fullness. By slowing down, you improve both. The HAPIfork is a Bluetooth connected fork that helps you track your eating habits, which in turn will improve how you eat.

Rotimatic

Love wraps and rotis? Of course you do! The Rotimatic is a new all-in-one system that allows you to drop in the necessary ingredients and the device does the rest. It can also be controlled through an app, which means you can have fresh rotis waiting for you at home as you commute from work. It’s new to the market, and only just now starting to ship.
