Gadgets really does made our life easier. Every year there are certain gadgets for a certain activity. Below are some kitchen gadgets that will make cooking and kitchen security simple and easy.
Meld Knob
If the thought of preparing a meal makes you come out in a cold sweat, ensure you never overcook your food by upgrading your existing stove with the Meld Knob. This device actually consists of three parts that work together: a thermometer that attaches to any pan, the titular knob that replaces one of your cooker’s existing ‘dumb’ and an app for your android. The first task is to select what meal you’re cooking from the companion app’s recipe book; this will then communicate with both devices. The temperature sensor will know precisely when said dish is too hot and tell the knob to turn down the heat. Created by two former Amazon engineers, Meld was crowdfunded through Kickstarter, and is due to go on sale in September. Meldhome.com
Nest Protect
For a lot of people, the act of making toast is duly followed by the scream of the smoke detector. With this clever device, though, you need never worry about that again. The Google-owned Nest Protect will speak aloud and tell you what room there smoke is and even send an alert to your phone. This smart smoke detector can distinguish between smoke and steam, and even sense the difference between a smoldering and fast burning fire. If you need to evacuate at night, Nest Protect’s emergency lights will guide the way. False alarm? You can also mute the Nest Protect from your phone. Nest.com
Nest Thermostat
Do you ever get plagued by a nagging feeling that you’ve left the heating on when you’ve headed out for the day? While it may look like the evil supercomputer from 2001: Space Odyssey, Nest Thermostat is actually here to reassure you. It will automatically turn of the boiler when its proximity sensors realize you’re not there. Over time it will also learn your habits, including your preferred temperature and what time you leave for work in the morning, and will then adjust the heating accordingly, ultimately saving you money on your energy bills.
