Futuristic kitchens are already here. Those Hi-tech ideas that you never thought would go beyond the drawing table are now in stores. Emerging technologies have turned the contemporary kitchen into more than a geek’s delight, with intelligent and efficient appliances and gadgets that not only take the drudgery out of cooking, but also ensure that you get your dishes to turn out recipe-perfect every time. The basic stove-top, oven, and grill kitchens have given way to ones fitted with electronic timers, Wi-Fi thermometers, microwaves, and induction cookers. For the more ecologically aware kitchen users, there are star-rated energy efficient gadgets and solar cookers.

Here are some hi-tech ways to cook and store leftovers that you will want for your kitchen.

1. Induction Cookers

Induction cookers do away with flames and fumes in the kitchen that come from conventional gas burners. They function on the principle of inducing resistive heat in metallic cooking utensils by generating an oscillating magnetic field within the induction cooktop. This method is especially efficient as it eliminates loss of heat during transmission. It is fast as well as safe as there are no flames or hot parts. Though this method works only with metallic (best with steel and iron utensils) containers, the speed at which it cooks, the safety factor and the energy it saves make it the most viable option for the modern kitchen.

2. Smart Refrigerators

The new generation of smart fridge comes with features like an LCD screen that can be used to watch TV, surf the web, or leave message the ability to help you prepare your grocery list by auditing what is there in the fridge, and even record and play back voice messages for your loved ones. The Independence series from Miele, for example, come loaded with their Remote Vision Wi-Fi technology using which the fridge can alert the service center if there is any problem with the machinery. This speeds up response time, since the engineers have already diagnosed the problem and don’t have to waste time sending for the required spare parts.

3. Infra-Red Deep Fryers

Infra-Red heating is one of the most efficient methods for certain types of heat transfers. Deep fryers have already made a big leap by going electric from the earlier gas heated fryers. Now, infra-red fryers have eliminated the need for deep frying in oil, enabling you to make fried foods without the health risks associated with traditional deep frying in oil. Char-Broil’s Big Easy Infra-Red Turkey Fryer lets you fry turkey or other birds (up to 16 lb) without oil in about 8-10 minutes per pound of bird weight.

4. Wireless Thermometer/Timers

Long cooking or grilling times no longer mean you have to be tied down in the kitchen. With the new wireless devices, you can see the current temperature and the programmed temperature on your remote monitor. The Digital Probe Thermometers from CDN comes with a clip on remote unit that you can use from a range of up to 100 feet. There are other devices that allow you to interface your thermometer with your iPad or iPhone too.
