An Intelligent Kitchen
Posted by ecreal on November 1st, 2009
Have you ever found yourself daydreaming about what life would be like as the Jetsons, with all of their automatic devices and robots that make preparing meals as simple as pressing a button? Well, technology might not be that advanced yet, but there are some interesting new products out that will make your kitchen a whole lot smarter and your cooking experience much easier.
Here are a few smart products on the market:
Digital BBQ Tongs
These tongs take the guesswork out of determining when your meat is cooked to perfection. They use sensors to measure the internal temperature of the meat you are cooking and will alert you when it is cooked. You can even preprogram them to your liking: rare, medium, well-done… As a bonus, they have a built-in flashlight for any late night grilling you may do.

Touch-Activated Faucet
No more struggling to turn on the water while your hands are full! This faucet will turn on when you touch anywhere on the handle or the spout. It even has the ability to distinguish between a touch and a grab, so when you adjust the temperature with the handle, the water won’t turn off.

Digital Measuring Cup
For those recipes where you must be exact, this measuring cup has a digital scale built in to tell you when you have exactly the amount you need. It can measure either weight or volume, depending on what you need. Plus, it will even convert measurements for you. It can be used for either wet or dry ingredients.

Self-Cleaning Drain System
If you have ever had to deal with a clogged drain you will appreciate this device. It works to increase turbulence in the water flowing through it to reduce buildup. It is made of a clear material, allowing you to see inside, and removing the clog is made easy by turning a knob on the outside of the drain to activate an internal clearing mechanism.
