Today’s gleaming metal kitchens are decidedly high tech. There are some appliances and gadgets coming out this fall that are really exceptional especially in terms of their versatility and also their speed of being able to create entire meals in the blink of an eye.
September, General Electric will be offering the new Profile oven with Innovation technology. It’s the closest anyone has come to the smart oven of the future. The oven has been programmed to determine how best to cook certain foods, by a combination of thermal, convection and microwave energies. It still can’t deliver a big cake at the touch of a button (like you would see on a show like the Jetsons), but this remarkably fast and good looking hight the oven can cook a 22-pound turkey in less than two hours. Gone are those long Thanksgiving days where it takes you seventeen hours to cook the turkey and get all of the fixings together.
The famous electronics company Samsung is also conspiring to turn your refrigerator into an entertainment center. They have a made a key unit called a Home Pad which allows all the functions of the internet without a computer. A “Messenger feature” lets family members communicate using a text, voice or video memo. You can plug it into your television to get a big display or you can wirelessly connect it to a DVD player.
In theory the home pad itself could be connected into any appliance that you choose. Even your furnace or toilet or shower stall could have a home pad type device installed into it.
Refrigerators are also how stoves. Last year Whirlpool introduced Polara which is a combination refrigerator and cooking range. You can program it just like VCR to do things like keep your food cool for twenty four hours and then start heating it up just in time of you to get home for dinner. This is as close to Star Trek food as we are going to get in the near future. We are still decades away from pushing one button and having a full cup cake pop out within seconds.
Futuristic kitchens aren’t just for adults. This past July Mattel introduced a super sophisticated culinary toy called Bribe Mixing’ Magic Real Food Kitchen. It is thirty dollars and it feature a blender for making smoothies, a refrigerator with a water dispenser, an electric mixer and a toy oven with a timer that lights right up. This is just like having a real kitchen and little girls who get these are going to develop the desire to have state of the art kitchens early in life. The old fashioned gas stove will just not do anymore. When it comes to cooking it is just too slow!
