Hi-Tech Gadgets for The Modern Cook :)

iGrill Mini:

What is the fun of a BBQ when the chef is tied to the grill waiting for the steak to reach the right temperature? What if your cell phone let you know that the main course is ready? This is precisely what the iGrill Mini does. Probe your meat, tell the app what you are grilling, and sit back and relax. You can see the progress of your meat right on the app's dashboard.

Taylor Digital Measuring Cup and Scale:

I love any product that can multitask, and this digital measuring cup and scale is a winner. One of the coolest things about it is that you can add one ingredient and weigh it, and then hit a button, add another ingredient along with the first and weigh it again. You can do this over and over, it will be completely accurate, and this allows you to use the cup as a mixing bowl. 

Top-Brewer:

 All the work happens below the counter, A couple of taps of your iPhone, and out of the spout comes a latte, espresso, or whatever else you fancy. It is a bit like a Danish version of something you might find at Wonka's Factory. The price, which can easily soar over $15,000, makes this ultra-cool product attainable for very few.

EatSmart Nutrition Pro Scale:

 Back in the world of affordable kitchen technology is this EatSmart Nutrition Pro Scale which not only weighs your food but tells you the nutritional content of pretty much anything you dare to put on it. Calories, crabs, fiber, and more appear in the digital window. It can even keep a daily log of what you are eating.

Williams-Sonoma's Smart Tools for iPad:

For many home cooks (myself included), their newest hi-tech gadget is their iPad. iPads make a world of recipes and online resources available to their flour-dusted fingertips. But propping up the i Pad can be a little awkward and that aforementioned flour sure does make a mess. Williams-Sonoma to the rescue with their Smart Tools which include a stand, a shield, and even a Bluetooth speaker for listening to music (either from the i Pad or any other portable music player.) Need to ask Aunt Betty for an old family recipe? The speaker also has speakerphone capability making video chatting a breeze.

Samsung Refrigerator With LCD Digital Display:

Samsung makes great refrigerators when it comes to keeping things organized and, well, cold. This one can keep your life organized too, with access to your Google calendar. It can also play a slideshow of your little ones, tell you what the forecast is, give you the news, and has every Epicurus recipe at the ready. Don't worry, it is also great at keeping things cold.
