There are a number of different cooking options one can choose for
their kitchen. Each suit a very busy lifestyle where you want to be able to get
the dinner started from anywhere and at any time.
To start off we have the WeMo 6-Quart Slow Cooker by Crock-Pot. This
incredible device allows you to adjust the temperature and time of cook
directly from your phone. All you have to do is download the app!
The next device that is
targeted for one specific kind of food is the Cuckoo Pressure Rice Cooker. The
technology used to create this brilliant device is state of the art and no
other rice cooker even compares to the quality of rice that it produces. This
cooker can also be controlled by an app.
Lastly is the Instant
Pot Bluetooth-Enabled Multi-functional Pressure Cooker. This cooker allows you
to monitor your cooking through the free app as well. You are also able to
create your own complex cooking steps that are saved on to the app so that they
can be repeated the next time you want to make that same dish. You can also
share your programmed recipes with friends.
These cutting edge
cooking devices are not only changing how people cook their food but also their
lifestyles. By removing the necessity of constantly watching your oven or stove
the modern technology savvy person can continue their day without having a
distracting kitchen to take care of.
Currently this kind of
technology has not made it much further than a family kitchen. It is only a
matter of time however, that this kind of Bluetooth and smart cooking
technology makes it into the restaurant and service industry. A catering
company would no longer have to higher dozens of staff to run their kitchens,
but just a few people to prep the produce and do plating. All the cooking would
be done by the machines without the cooks getting in the way.
Questions
- The Instant Pot
Bluetooth-Enabled Multifunctional Pressure Cooker provides a way of
sharing recipes and other cooking functions between Instant Pot users. How
does the sharing of information through apps represent a change how
technology has changed how humans interact?
- How might having a smart cooker
change the lifestyle of a business professional?
- What implications will
technologically advance kitchens have on small restaurant businesses
compared to chain restaurants? Do you think the restaurants will be able
to financially support these changes? Will one suffer and the other prevails?
- Is there a chance of smart cooking technology taking
over the traditional restaurant kitchen? Will it eliminate jobs? Will the
consumer’s opinion of the food change even if it tastes the same?
