By incorporating smart technology into your kitchen design, you can bring even more convenience and efficiency to your life.
Smart appliances can save you time, help you stay organised – and even improve your cooking skills!
When looking at the vast range of smart technologies now available, take the time to consider what functionality will enhance your life.
For example, would voice assistants, such as Amazon Echo or Google Home, be a big help to you? They can be connected to a host of kitchen appliances, from refrigerators to toasters, allowing you hands-free control of your kitchen. You can use voice commands to set timers, turn devices on and off, and change temperatures.
A benefit that might appeal to you more could be the ability to control appliances from your mobile phone. In which case, you might want to combine remote control through your smartphone as well as integration with voice assistants.
A remote facility is particularly handy if you want to check on the contents of your refrigerator when you’re out shopping – or pre-heat your oven before you get home.
As well as remotely pre-heating your oven, smart ovens enable you to adjust cooking times and temperatures and monitor cooking progress from wherever you are. Smart hobs and induction hobs can also be controlled via your smartphone.
You might also choose to add smart microwaves, slow cookers and air fryers to your home network – allowing you to remotely programme the appliances, set timers and adjust temperatures remotely.
Some smart cookers even provide you with menu advice, recipes and cooking tips.
Smart refrigerators come with built-in touch screens and connectivity features that create shopping lists and give you access to recipes – some will even suggest recipes based on the ingredients you have available.
Smart dishwashers can be scheduled and monitored using your smartphone – you might want one with a load-sensing feature to optimise your energy and water usage and tell you when the washing cycle is complete.
If you love coffee, you could invest in a coffeemaker that can be programmed and controlled remotely. Some models even learn your coffee preferences so they can prepare your favourite drink at the touch of a button – or the sound of your voice.
Keen cooks might like a blender that can be operated remotely with pre-programmed blend settings for specific recipes. Or a set of smart kitchen scales connected to your smartphone to help with precise measurements and nutritional information.
Finally, why not install a smart tap to provide a luxury finish to your kitchen design?
Smart taps can dispense water at specific temperatures – from ice cold to boiling hot. This saves you time by providing boiling water in an instant for hot drinks and cooking.
The latest smart taps can be controlled by motion sensors and connected to voice assistants for hands-free operation.
