Businesses are pursuing new ways to make everyday devices smart and connected. Case and point: smart kitchen appliances.
Smart kitchen appliances make it easy to brew coffee, prepare toast, and complete other kitchen tasks — all with the sound of your voice. Now, let's look at three of the most-popular smart and connected kitchen appliances available today:
With a smart and connected countertop microwave oven, you can use Amazon Alexa voice commands to operate your device. For instance, you can ask Alexa to set the time and power level for your oven or add time as needed. You can also take advantage of the oven's scan-to-cook technology, which lets you use a mobile app on your smartphone or tablet to scan frozen food products and cook them to perfection.
A smart and connected coffee maker provides hands-free coffee-making. It lets you use your voice to prepare coffee at your preferred brew strength. Additionally, you can use a mobile app to program the coffee maker to brew coffee at different times based on your schedule..
Thanks to a smart and connected range hood, you can like your hood to various mobile apps and multi-task like never before. For instance, if you want a famous chef to help you prepare your favorite meal, you can access the Flavorly app on your range to enjoy a guided cooking experience. Or, if you want to chat with family members and friends via Skype or watch a movie or TV show on Netflix while you cook in your kitchen, the range allows you to do just that.
Smart kitchen appliances highlight the potential of smart home technology. Going forward, the number of smart and connected kitchen appliances will increase. Also, businesses will continue to explore unique ways to incorporate smart capabilities into kitchen appliances and other everyday devices, too.
