In this age of conveniences, everything is simplified to save time. Thanks to modern technology, most of what we need is available to us at the touch of a button. Taking technology into the kitchen has resulted in a smarter, more efficient kitchen that enables one to cook faster, better, and with minimal effort.
To get started, you can design the decor of your kitchen to look suave and sleek. Invest in an elegant modular kitchen. Buy appliances with compact designs and futuristic finishes that blend in with the style of your kitchen. An intelligent kitchen does not let any space go waste. Maximise the space that's available, with smart and efficient units like wall ovens, pulldown racks, wall-mounted cup and cutlery holders, designer plate stands, hobs on the platform, warming drawers, multiple storage units designed into your wall etc. Every unit in your kitchen should blend in with every other unit, as far as possible and make sure that nothing is a stand alone. If you have to install a side table or a rack in your kitchen for practical purposes, have it customised to fit in with the rest of the decor.
With your decor all set, it's time to bring in the smart appliances. Today's appliances come with microprocessors and sensors that help them 'know' when their task is done. Most of them are capable of multitasking. Some of the high end microwaves have recipes stored in their memory. They can guide you while you cook.
A particularly noteworthy invention is the digital home manager. It is a small panel that can be mounted on your kitchen wall and will keep track of all your supplies. You will have to enter relevant details into it at the beginning of the month when you make your purchases. It will indicate when you are running low on your supplies.
Refrigerators that have systems which adjust their temperature to suit the different kinds of food stored inside, garbage disposers that compact trash to fit in more, and dishwashers that can automatically increase or reduce the amount of soap usage depending on how grimy or oily the dishes are, are some of the marvels of modern technology.
Most of the technologically advanced kitchen appliances and accessories are also energy efficient. In some kitchens, these appliances are linked to one another and work in a pattern that helps converse electricity. Though not widely used as yet, a popular technology company has demonstrated how a computer can be connected to all your kitchen appliances and act as a central control unit. You could give each appliance a different command while sitting at your desk in the office.
One of the most practical appliances for an Indian home is the multipurpose oven that doubles as a refrigerator. This oven can be controlled via your cell phone or computer. So, you could leave food inside all day in the fridge mode and command it to start cooking when you're coming home. Another interesting innovation is the cook's sink. This sink has heating capabilities that lets your boil water, steam vegetables, boil potatoes, and much more at the sink itself.
Abroad, there are robotic cooks that can perform simple tasks like flipping omelettes, working the microwave, washing dishes, etc. It's probably too soon to tell whether this technology will catch up in India. The rapid cook technology, on the other hand, is sure to catch up here. This technology allows food to be cooked seven times faster than its regular cooking time.
