The kitchen is the heart of the home, but often it’s filled with outdated appliances and cookware. Home technology expert and adviser Armando Ferreira recommends a few of the latest and greatest gadgets to make your kitchen work better for you.
Philips Hue
Mood lighting? This product lets you dim your lights and change the color depending on the ambiance you’re trying to create. It syncs with your smartphone or tablet and can be connected with other home tech apps.
Quirky Egg Minder
One of Ferreira’s personal favorites, the Egg Minder sends you mobile push notifications whenever you need to buy eggs. In-tray LED lights will also tell you when your eggs are going bad.
Mr. Coffee Smart Optimal Brew Coffeemaker
Want to hit snooze one more time? Using WeMo-enabled technology, this coffeemaker syncs with your smart device so you can control the appliance wirelessly. In other words, you don’t have to get out of bed to make your coffee in the morning; you can schedule and adjust brew time, set reminders and more from the app.
Moen MotionSense Faucet
This faucet is hands-free, meaning it turns on and off by waving your hand above the product. It’s a great way to keep your kitchen cleaner while cooking.
iDevices Kitchen Thermometer
This product makes cooking while entertaining easier. Instead of having to remember to check your kitchen thermometer periodically, it notifies you. You’ll receive a notification on your smartphone when your food has reached your target temperature. You can even track two temperatures simultaneously.
Anova Precision Cooker
Ferreira says “you pretty much can’t mess up your meat” with this gadget. Using your smartphone, the Anova can be adjusted to precision cook (sous vide) in any pot or tank. Just turn it on and walk away, letting the precision cooker do the rest.
Amazon Echo
This device integrates with many of the products listed above. For example, using the Amazon Echo, you could have a voice command trigger your Phillips Hue lighting. You can also use it to order pizza, get weather information, sports updates and more – becoming the epicenter for your home tech.
