KITCHEN TECHNOLOGY UNCOVERED

LETS GET TECHNICAL

There are hundreds of kitchen appliances on the market right now, and most of them have become more technical that you could ever have imagined.  There are coffee machines that can be activated to brew from your smartphone, there are wine decanters that measure and regulate temperatures for you, you can start your slow cooker from the office and you can brew beer on the kitchen bench at the touch of button.  There are however four main appliances that are the backbone of any kitchen design.  We are going to look at how technology has made them an addition you must consider for your new kitchen:
  1. Refrigerators.
  2. Ovens.
  3. Cooktops.
  4. Extractors.

Refrigerators have come a long way since the days of simply storing food in them to increase shelf life.  Now you can run your entire household from the fridge door with some of these exciting new technological advancements:
  • Touch screens to control temperatures from outside the fridge.
  • Soda stream, ice, boiling and filtered water dispensers in the front door panel.
  • Grocery shopping, music and lighting applications for easy access while cooking.
  • Built-in cameras so you can remotely check your stock levels if you are at the supermarket.
  • Ability to login and leave a note on the fridge screen for your partner or children.
  • Calendar sharing between household members.
  • Applications that suggest recipes using whats currently in your fridge.
  • Improved cooling technology and greater energy efficiency costing you less in electricity.
  • Ability to track food expiry dates and remind you to consume before hand.
  • Upload photos to your fridge screen for the whole family to view.
  • Manage shopping lists and to-do lists from your smartphone.
  • Voice activated control systems.
  • Built in speakers that allow you to play your music in the kitchen as well as the rest of your home.​

ovens

You will need to consider the oven technology available to you depending on what you like to cook in your oven.  Like the fridge there are smart ovens and also performance advances to look at, here are some of the latest technological improvements in ovens:
  • Combining microwave heat with convection cooking to produce a faster more economical result.
  • Using infrared heating for instant heat and faster cooking times.
  • Electromagnetic waves are used for precise cooking of multiple food items at the same temperate and times.  The oven cooks each item to its own requirements.
  • LCD touch screens that can be accessed by your smart phone or tablet.
  • Cooking applications that can be used from your remote devices or the oven touch screen.
  • Larger, hotter elements.
  • Dehydration modes and features.
  • More fans and elements to produce an evenly heated environment.

cooktops

There are three main types of cooktops:
  1. Gas.
  2. Electric.
  3. Induction.
Again, the cooktop you select will be dependant on the cooking style you prefer and the services you want installed in your kitchen (e.g. gas or electricity).  All three have had advances in their technology and here are some to consider:
  • Induction cooktops use approximately 90% of the energy they emit, cutting electricity bills.
  • Ability to merge cooking zones on your cooktops to create a larger element when required.
  • Rectangular cooking zones instead of the traditional round zones.
  • Touch control panels means no more dirty knobs or food stuck under the knobs.
  • Pan supports for gas cooktops that come in the size and shape of your cookware, to prevent spills or damage.
  • Addition of safety mechanisms that turn off the gas if the flame is extinguished.
  • Frameless and slimline designs that are easier to keep clean and don't trap food and spills.
  • Built in extractor fans that span the width of the cooktop (as in picture).

extractors

Extractor fans no longer have to be the eyesore of your kitchen design.  With all the latest technology, extractor fans are now more powerful and yet smaller than ever before. Your extractor can be located above your cooktop on an island bench, it can be part of your cooktop or you can go with the large traditional extractor.  You can incorporate lighting and design features that have never been considered in the past.  Your extractor fan can now be a feature of your new kitchen.
