What to expect from the kitchens of the future

With terms such as “intelligent homes” and the “internet of things” launched a lot these days, we can assume that the kitchens of our future can incorporate a good amount of technology and automation. However, exactly what can we expect from that technology? We have investigated a little about the direction that the kitchen technology is taking, and here are some of our findings …

Looking towards the future of kitchen technology

This kitchen technology movement is already underway, with more and more owners looking for advanced technology for the heart of their home. “It seems that approximately half of the customers I see want some kind of characteristics of intelligent or technology -based devices in their new appliances.” Eileen Sroka, kitchen designer with designer appliances, says.

The dishwasher in the dissipator

We know what you are thinking … why didn’t you think about that? There are some cases of dishwasher appliances in the dissipator that are currently available for those with the available income, but in the future, experts believe that this will be more frequent. Whirlpool foresees a dishwasher on the disc that will have sensors to determine if the dishes are dirty, when the unit is full and ready to run. He will also be aware of when he leaves the house, and closes and runs automatically, if he has any dish that needs cleaning. Next, they just need to discover how the dishes will keep us!

The microwave reading bar code

Genius! In the future, measures will be taken to prevent food waste, and cooked food is definitely an objective for reducing such waste. Isn’t you sure how long it takes to heat something? No problem! The microwave of the future will have technology that reads the UPC barcode in the package of your food, know what is inside and cook it accordingly for you.

The Interactive Screen Splashes Protector

Fully integrated with all its devices, calendar schedules, health profile, contacts and more, the splash protector of the future will be there for much more than aesthetics. Front thinkers imagine the protector against splashes as an customizable and interactive interactive touch screen that will help cook and prepare food, present your daily schedule, help you stay in the task, play sounds from the baby monitor in another room, present reminders based on your activity and habits, and reproduce visual entertainment and/or audio.

The smart table

Another advance we can expect is visual projection technology. Experts have imagined an integrated kitchen kitchen table with an upper camera and a projection system that can visually interpret the elements on the table, as well as their movements. Then project suggestions, recipe steps and guides to help you prepare a meal. Simply place their pots, pans and containers directly on the surface of the table, and will automatically heat perfectly.

The range to do everything

Has your future cup of coffee cooled? Well, your future self can place it directly on the kitchen surface where your range used to be. The coffee will heat up to the perfect temperature for you. This component can be an alternative to the table mentioned above, or can be integrated with it, as well as with the screen and interactive appliances in your kitchen. We can also control this system remotely. Therefore, the kitchen can perform tasks such as preheating the oven, having ice or defrosting frozen foods while it is on their way home from work.

This range can identify the element placed on the surface and cook it accordingly. You also have data on your family’s health profiles, so you can make suggestions to optimize the food you eat for healthier benefits. He will also remind you to take recipes and vitamins: we don’t know about you, but we hope this technology arrives before 20 years!

The combination of fridge + pantry

In the year 2040, the days of the forgotten articles that are going wrong on the back of its refrigerator will have gone! The pantry and refrigerator will merge, with the wall and the eliminated doors, for an open shelf and an easy -to -see food storage solution. Specialized containers will be used to be used with open pantry to keep cooling in the food or ambient temperature, which keeps it fresher for longer. The intention here is to reduce wasted foods, so there will be less food to store. It is also projected that groceries will be automatically delivered and/or on demand by autonomous vehicles and drones. This will allow us to maintain less stored foods, which not only prevents food from being eaten, but also allows higher quality foods (less chemically preserved).

The first instances of this advanced technology are already available in the market. Currently, the smart refrigerator does many things that engineers have planned for the next smart chefs and splashes. However, we are only at the beginning of the “smart kitchen” trip, and we can expect to see even greater advances in the interconnection of technology with our lives. The kitchen of the future is on the way to helping us handle our occupied schedules, maintaining our health, increasing our efficiency, making us better chefs, reminding us of things that slide through cracks and more … everything while at the same time reduces our footprint of waste and carbon. We must say that the future of kitchens looks quite bright.
