The quick guide to smart kitchens
What’s a smart kitchen anyway?
The whole point of anything ‘smart’ is that it’s designed to use awesome technology to make your life easier. Another thing that any smart gadget should be, or rather not be, is overly complicated. Like the smart phone, smart kitchen equipment should be fun and easy to use.
But what is a smart kitchen gadget? This usually means that it can be connected to other devices in your home via either Bluetooth or, more commonly, your home WiFi network. More often that not, your smartphone will be used to control or work with the smart kitchen appliance. This is done by downloading a free app to your smart phone from the appliance’s manufacturer.
Using your smartphone with an appliance means you’re bringing a pretty hefty computer into the mix and also getting access to a high quality touchscreen to control your smart kitchen appliance with.
Smart technology is creeping into every aspect of our lives, from security to entertainment and the kitchen is no different. Things like the voice controlled Alexa or Google assistant are also becoming an every day gadget that can be used to control different appliances at home with your voice.
There’s a wealth of wondrous new smart kitchen gadgets set to change and improve your kitchen life.
What kinds of WiFi kitchen gadgets can you get?
You’ll be amazed just how many cool, unexpected and sometimes mid boggling gizmos you can get to help out in the kitchen. Some of the most common intelligent kitchen gadgets include:

Each have their own use of smart technology with the central aim of giving you more control and peace of mind, and not having to be tied to the kitchen while the appliance is doing it’s job. (Some smart kitchen gadgets, such as a smart cooker, allow you to start cooking your evening meal before you even leave the office!)
What do you need to get started with a smart kitchen?
If you’ve got WiFi set up at home, then it’s highly likely that you’ll also have a router installed. That’s one of the essential bits you’ll need. This is what your new intelligent kitchen equipment will use to connect with your home network.
It’s also likely you’ve got a smartphone or tablet too. That’s the second item you’ll definitely need to get started on a smart kitchen. From there the smart appliances you choose to go in your kitchen are up to you.
