We all dream of a kitchen that lives up to two main standards: an impressive look, and the level of ease that makes chores and everyday cooking a pleasure.
The five appliances detailed below are sure to tick both boxes – revolutionising your cooking experience, and impressing a few guests along the way.
Kitchen assistants
You’ve heard of the Amazon Echo – but here’s the kitchen equivalent. The Hello Egg is an AI-based kitchen assistant, helping to automate your food routines. Hello Egg has everything covered – from planning your weekly meals in line with dietary preferences, to supervising your pantry and providing step-by-step voice-navigated recipes.
The Hello Egg really is smart – it is able to adjust to unpredictable events, such as a surprise meal with a guest with specific dietary requirements. The egg can answer any questions as you cook – and if its cutting-edge artificial intelligence software doesn’t have the knowledge, the Hello Egg will contact a team of real-life culinary experts, who will deal with your query.
This extraordinary tech just might be your secret weapon for dinner party success.
The Dish Drawer™
The Dish Drawer™ by F&P will revolutionise the way you wash dishes. Smooth and fully integrated with your own cabinetry, guests won’t know it’s there – this must-have appliance could mean you never wash another dish.
With a range of settings to tackle any job, and with Quick, Sanitise and Extra Dry options, this kitchen treasure achieves pristine performance at a low volume. Plus, the unique drawer design makes it easy to run a true half load – so lunch and dinner are always covered.
Sous vide precision cooker
Sous vide is a relatively recent culinary development, so it is perhaps unsurprising that a range of high tech gadgets have recently sprung onto the market to support it.
The method involves cooking foods – especially meat – in a vacuum-sealed container, and at steadily controlled temperatures. This produces consistently tender results – and with a restaurant-quality finish, you’ll want to eat in more often.
Sous vide provides scientific, down-to-the-degree control, for the best steak you’ve ever eaten. For best results, you need the temperature control equipment that’s up to the task.
Sous Vide Tools have the complete set, with everything you need to cook these dishes to perfection. Beginners can pick up a precision cooker from Anova for under £100.
Induction cook-tops
This is the chic future of luxury cooking: no hobs, just worktop. The design is being introduced across a wide number of brands and comes as standard in many new homes.
The tech is an alternative to traditional gas or electric hobs, using magnetic forces to heat the pan directly – so the cook-top surface itself never gets scorching hot.
This unique technology is not only safer than traditional methods, it is also around 50% more efficient. You get an immediate response upon lowering the heat, and of course the sleek, ‘invisible’ look for a next generation kitchen.
5 in 1 tap
The Zip Hydrotap is tap water like you’ve never known it. In 5 different settings, from boiling, to chilled and even filtered sparkling, this appliance will change the way you prepare drinks forever.
The tap comes with full colour, PIN-protected touch-screen control, as well as energy saving and safety modes – for a kitchen sink that will get people talking.
Add one (or all) of these devices to your space for a truly cutting edge kitchen to enjoy with family and friends.
