What progress has come to? New inventions allow us to do amazing things – call across the ocean, do Kenya betting without understanding how to do it, just because technology has done everything for you, draw pictures without knowing how to draw and sing songs, imitating the voice of Elvis.

In this article, we will tell you about gadgets and how they can be applied to kitchen design.

Sensor-based Faucet

The faucet nozzle iFlow switches the water on and off in a non-contact way – you just need to put your hands near or take them away. The creators say it can save you up to 30% of water. If you need a constant stream of water, for example, to fill a tank, you can easily activate the appropriate mode on the screen of the gadget. There, you can also specify the exact amount of water you want to fill. The iFlow runs on hydropower, which means that it changes every time you turn on the water.

The Smart Camera for the Fridge

If you install a Fridge Eye smart camera in your refrigerator, you can reduce food waste. The camera takes pictures of the fridge’s contents every time you close the door and sends the photos to a smartphone app. This way, you can check what food you have right from the supermarket. The app also recognizes the most common foods, makes a list of everything in the fridge, selects recipes from these products, and recommends what you should buy more of.

Organic Waste Container

Food scraps are conveniently stored in a small container in the kitchen before composting in any convenient way. If this method of storing organics scares you of the smell, consider a container from British cookware brand Joseph Joseph. It has a built-in filter and ventilation valve in the lid, so no odors can escape. The container has a capacity of 4 liters.

Disposer

One way to get rid of organic waste in an environmentally friendly way is to use a food waste dispenser. It is installed in the sink drain, grinds leftovers, and sends them to the water supply. However, it makes sense to use a dispenser in cities where the sewage systems are biogas plants. A family of four or more people should buy a dispenser with high power – for example, the popular model InSinkErator Evolution. Users note that this chopper works almost silently.

Aerator for a Mixer

The aerator is a simple device that is built into the faucet and saturates the water jet with air. Thanks to this, the pressure remains the same and the water consumption is reduced. The device from Xiaomi fits almost any faucet and, in addition, allows you to adjust the water flow angle.

Pancake Pan

Pancakes used to be baked only in a special cast-iron frying pan. It was used once a year at Shrovetide. Today, almost every home has a light, low-sided skillet, which is also used only for pancakes. They come with ceramic and Teflon coating. On such a skillet is convenient to distribute the batter and do it well with a special spreading wand. You’ve definitely seen these in retail outlets where pancakes are baked.

What else do you need to make sure that the first pancake doesn’t go wrong either? A silicone brush to grease the pan, a handy shallow pancake ladle with two spouts or a modern spout for the liquid batter, and the right stainless steel and wooden spatulas for flipping pancakes.
