My smart kitchen: the good, the bad, and the future


Here’s how I made my kitchen smart and what I still wish it could do.

I saw a demo at CES 2024 from IoT chipmaker NXP where a cooktop used various sensors, including presence sensing, to automatically turn off a burner if a pot was left on at high heat and the stove was unattended. Perhaps the way forward here is an overall platform for food management that can be accessed on any screen or tablet and works by knowing what products you put in your shopping cart when you order your groceries online. Use Alexa or Google to ask it to dispense precise amounts (tablespoons / cups) at specific temperatures or to start filling the sink while you’re getting the roast out of the oven so you can just dump the pan in hot water.
