Smart Kitchen
/ In many homes, kitchens are a place for entertaining family and friends. A kitchen can be a place of great joy for many older residents, proving their independence and allowing some meaningful contribution to the household. It must however be safe and functional – many older kitchens are not either of these. The philosophy driving the kitchen renovation was safety and independence. How will growing environmental concerns influence the design of the future kitchen? Will technological advancements and gadgets work with us or against us in an attempt to live a healthy lifestyle? Which society trends will shape the way we interact within the kitchen?

About the relationship between the human and the kitchen. ‘’If you don’t throw away the dish residues and prefer to watch how they go away with compressed water the result will be quite simple: First it’s going to smell nice(?) and then the accumulated water will slowly go away.’’ What happens with the dreams we see? Perhaps we can see five dreams in one night, can’t we? Dreams exist to tell about them. But if you prefer to be quiet , this means that you are in a type of occlusion. Unfortunately there is no plumber who can handle this occlusion and it is not that easy like making a few hand movements in the washbowl. Also any alcohol content can’t approach the effect of ‘’porçöz’’. You think that you can solve the problem with a few hand moves , but your kitchen sink makes insidious plans for you… Where do the dreams we are thinking about accumulate? Perhaps in a kind of attic? What if insects come after a while? You have to worm your ideas. With hanging them on the balcony additionally the smell of damp will go away.Isn’t it the same as throwing the baby out with the bathwater what we do with our dreams? With a little thought we give up all of them.

“ There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” — George Bernard Shaw
/ The other day I discovered something like the sickness of enjoying to keep mum. After a little observation you can see that this is the case within tired, and weak to put up humans are. It looks like a tree who has to be instilled urgently. Like boiling wax, rusty feelings get reamed. Could this be a new candidate for a proverb in kitchen issues, why not? But the real issue I want to talk about isn’t the sink of course. We must learn how to renovate ourselves and our minds. An accustomed person gets worse than a raving one. We have to learn how to trim our pains,boredom, dreams and opinions, so that they can open again on every new spring.

The Sous-Vide Cell Cooker Slowly Warms the Week’s Meals.Busy people often refuse to believe that slow cookers are genuinely time and laborsaving appliances, and the Sous-Vide Cell Cooker by Adam Miklosi can prove it like no other. Boasting absolute efficiency and the ability to organize your lunches and dinners up to a week in advance, this hi-tech culinary contraption is an absolute dream come true. The tripartite circular form of the device allows for different types of food preparation to occur at once, accommodating everything from chilled storage in airtight plastic sacks to gentle heating by a bath of 140°F water. The innovative oven strives to avoid altering the chemical structure of healthy edibles, which can occur when high temperatures are applied too quickly or for too longBut overall, the Sous-Vide Cell Cooker excels at serving up cutting-edge convenience, and it deserves its place as a finalist in the Electrolux Design Lab 2011.

Already in 1999, Electrolux presented the Screenfridge, a refrigerator that helps the consumer with grocery shopping and dinner ideas, keeps track of what he or she has in the fridge, and functions as a message centre for the whole family. This was the start of a development towards smart appliances. In last years, Electrolux has presented several concepts integrating appliances with home entertainment and online tools – for example the Rendez-vous, the Volare and the Heart of the Home. Earlier this autumn, Electrolux presented the concept of a nutrient control app helping people to keep track of their nutritional intake and minimize food waste in the cyclic, connected home. And in several places around the world, Electrolux is involved in projects testing systems for smart grids and smart appliances, that is energy systems that can communicate with the appliances and automatically detect and avoid consumption during peak periods of the day. The smart appliances will also be able to facilitate customer care and upgradings of products.

Fridge
/ The Infinity I-Kitchen fridge has not only been well received by the computer devotee community. This fully consumer insightdriven product also holds features popular among the many Brazilian households using it. Keeping the pace with technology trends for electronic devices, what really sets the fridge apart is the application with more than 600 sophisticated recipes published in cooperation with a famous Brazilian magazine. The menu is divided into seven different groups, ranging from entrĂŠes and main dishes up to light menus and cocktails, offering flexibility to plan meals. The fridge also presents smart controls, unique features and compartment versatility. The Express Space can be used in the Drink or Gourmet Express modes, cooling drinks and desserts quicker, while the icemaker continuously produces ice without the need for a hydraulic connection.

Stove
/ Intelligent stove allows users to watch cooking tutorials and access recipes on the range and warns users via text when their food is ready. Utilizing the same technology as Dacor’s Discovery wall oven, it even allows users to control the range remotely via smartphone or tablet. The stove also has a built-in digital meat thermometer, which automatically pauses once you’re meat reaches the perfect internal temperature. A lot of people cook while they’re trying to accomplish other tasks, so the concept for the Free Cooker by Ahhaproject is a brilliant solution to increased domestic efficiency. The hi-tech elements were designed for Candy Group with the idea that each individual component can function on its own. When connected in place on top of the oven, the separate parts can be programmed through a central set of controls, but there’s no incentive not to disengage and relocate a portable hotplate outside of the kitchen. You could easily bring one element into your office for making coffee, one into your bedroom for making breakfast, and one into the laundry room while you fold your clothing. The most common use of the Free Cooker by Ahhaproject may to simply set one down on the table to keep your meal hot.

Cooktop
While the cuisine of the Jetson’s may still be far into the future, technology and tablets are bringing forward-thinking home cooks just a little closer. Cassandra Daily reports that there are more than a few ways to use your tablet to make cooking a little easier (and technologically advanced). Check out some of these electronic gadgets for home that will take your cooking to the next level. Designer Jaewan Jong is reportedly creating a tablet just for the kitchen called Almighty Board. This super duper multifunctional piece of equipment will do everything from serve as a cutting board to keep things clean by detecting the presence of bacteria in undercooked foods. It also provides step by step instructions for home cooks that might need a little guidance around kitchen. If you’re one of those people that starts something and then gets distracted, only to find that your pot has boiled over and your stew has burned, then you may want to check out Gorenje’s cook. It’s a self-cooking stovetop that allows you to boil, fry, steam and grill from anywhere, without burning or boiling over. Just choose from one the five preset options (IQboil, IQpro, IQsteam, IQfry, and IQgrill) and the system will control the timing and temperature for you.

Why Plant a Garden with Vegetables
35
Home Garden
Starting a vegetable garden at home is an easy way to save money—that $2 tomato plant can easily provide you with 10 pounds of fruit over the course of a season. Planting a garden with vegetables also gives you the pleasure of savoring a delicious, sun-warmed tomato fresh from the garden. In almost every case, the flavor and texture of varieties you can grow far exceed the best grocery store produce. Plus, growing vegetables can be fun. It’s a great way to spend time with children or have a place to get away and spend time outdoors. Learning what to plant in a garden with vegetables, and how to tend them for the best harvest, is probably easier than you think. If you plan it right, you can enjoy a beautiful garden full of the fruits of your labor—without having to spend hours and hours tending it. Planting a garden that includes vegetables and flowers means you’ve combined natural companions, and that can turn a potential eyesore into an attractive landscape feature.

Care and feeding
/ Most vegetables like a steady supply of moisture, but not so much that they are standing in water. About an inch of water per week is usually sufficient, provided by you if Mother Nature fails to come through. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. For in-ground crops, that may mean watering once or twice a week; raised beds drain faster and may require watering every other day. Weeds compete with your vegetables for water and nutrients, so it’s important to keep them to a minimum. Use a hoe or hand fork to lightly stir (cultivate) the top inch of soil regularly to discourage weed seedlings. A mulch of clean straw, compost, or plastic can keep weeds at bay around larger plants like tomatoes. Fertilizing your crops is critical to maximizing yields. Organic gardeners often find that digging in high quality compost at planting time is all their vegetables need. Most gardeners, however, should consider applying a packaged vegetable fertilizer, following the directions on the box or bag. Don’t apply more than recommended as this can actually decrease yield. By using vining crops like pole beans and snap peas when planting a garden with vegetables, you can make use of vertical space in the garden and boost yield per square foot.

Smart Knife
/ This concept is really sharp! The Smart Knife has been designed to help you perform a very common task in the kitchen, but it’s been packed with a cornucopia of hi-tech features that you never knew you craved. Until you need it, the blade sits securely in its safet-locked knife block that doubles as a wireless charger. The generous surface area of the cutting edge chopper provides ample space for a touchscreen interface. This can reorient easily for an ideal view as you dice your vegetables and carve your meats. While you do this, Jeon Chang Dae’s ingenious culinary device tests your food’s freshness, nutrient content, bacterial level and its toxicity. The Electrolux Smart Knife serves up informative numbers and even images and can seal your final slice with preserving negative ions.

Smart Dishes
/ The bowl will keep its malleable characteristic to facilitate the disposal of the liquid or dough, allowing the user to shape the bowl through his/her own hands. A smart capability has been added to the base with several versatile uses. The base allows the bowl to spin mechanically. It also connects to your mobile (or any other device), where you can choose or store new recipes. The display will then show you the right quantity of each ingredient to be added to the process. The bowl itself is surrounded by a flexible LED net, which will light up to show you need to fill it with the ingredient, and gradually turn off as you add the right amount. For the visually impaired, the bowl may also be voice activated and vibrate slightly to show you have reached the desired amount. The base can also serve as a timer (integrated with your cellphone to allow greater mobility) and an oven thermometer, so that it assists with all the stages of the preparation.
Taking into consideration the social aspect of how people feel instigated to gather and be together through the compelling smell of a food or desert being prepared, I decided to expand that into a broader aspect. Each bowl will come with a unique code associated to its utilization. When shared with friends, they can register their own devices with your bowl. When the bowl is being used, your friends will then receive a message of what’s being prepared and even what other foods/beverages go with that recipe so that they can come over and be part of that tasting. The smart base can be attached to other bowls with different sizes, to allow simultaneous preparations of sauces, icings, egg whites whisking, or whatever the recipe demands.

After your third slurp of soup, you probably will have lost the ability to adequately judge the savory balance of your recipe. The Electrolux Tastee should be introduced to you in the beginning since it is the accurate examination of flavor. Shaped similarly to the iconic dimensions of a spoon, this innovative implement would be manufactured without a scoop for a base. This is because the chef would not require a taste. Christopher Holm-Hansen‘s invention would be equipped with tons of sensitive receptors that are capable of detecting the ingredients and seasonings of the dish. Even more impressively, it would analyze the unity of the overall flavor. The hi-tech Electrolux Tastee mimics human taste buds with greater accuracy and goes on to make helpful spice suggestions to the cook.

DJ-ing Dinner Plates
/ The concept behind the Electrolux SmartPlate might sound remarkably futuristic, so perhaps it would surprise you to learn that other contemporary creative professionals have also been designing to this tune. This cutting-edge piece of crockery introduces the sense of hearing into the experience of eating, and it does so in an incredibly hi-tech way. With its circular recess, the squared plate is divided into three sections by a digital interface with sensors. Once your supper has been served into the salver, the system detects the ingredients and their flavors that are present, analyzing them and translating them into unique noises. A beautifully balanced meal might strike a glorious auditory harmony, made up of a symphony of savorsturned-notes. Julian Caraulani‘s Electrolux SmartPlate is even integrated with a multimedia smartphone app so you can interact with your musical meal.

How to Use Solar Energy to Power Your Appliances
/ Utilizing the sun, also known as solar power, has become the latest trend in energy conservation. Those harnessing the power of the sun are ultimately doing their part to save the planet—the very same planet that sustains our life, as well as the lives of future generations. Obviously though, this growing popularity in solar power has created a pressing need for products. People are now living much more efficiently by building solarpowered houses. In these houses, they also want solar-powered appliances, lighting, heating, water pumps, and water heaters, as they are much more efficient. Luckily, we now have a way of purchasing solar-powered appliances to use in the kitchen and elsewhere in the house as well. Appliances are usually the most costly apparatus in a home as they usually run almost continuously and get used quite often.

Now, obviously you don’t want to go through the time and effort of making your home solar-powered and still continue using standard appliances. The perfect complement for a solar-powered home, of course, would be solarpowered appliances right? Refrigerators: The one great thing about refrigerators is that they offer the convenience of a refrigerator, as well as a freezer, usually at a minimal amount of cost. They are thermostatcontrolled which allows you to set the correct temperatures for both the refrigerator, and the freezer (obviously, the freezer must be colder). There is very little noise as it runs, generally because the flow of electricity is constant. They also come in a variety of sizes as well as colors in order to fit into any solar-powered kitchen. Appliances that are Efficient: However, not all appliances can be solar-powered, and for that reason, efficient appliances are the next best thing. They utilize a minimal amount of energy in order to run, while at the same time, provide you with the service that you would expect out of that appliance. Chest freezers, dishwashers, stoves, microwaves, washers, and dryers are all appliances that can be purchased on an efficient level to save energy and money. When you use appliances that are efficient, they usually cost more up front but in the long run they are
worth the cost as they can ultimately save money. Moreover, with proper maintenance, these appliances can last quite some time. Every so often, a simple inspection should be performed. If any faulty or damaged parts are discovered, simply visit www.partselect.com to replace it. For very little cost, and a little handyman-ingenuity, your solar-powered kitchen can last for years and years to come. Today most of the products and appliances that we buy are energy-efficient and guaranteed to run on minimal energy which saves you money when you purchase it. Although you won’t be able to see the cost decrease all at once you may notice it over time. There are several other ways that you can reduce the cost of appliances such as drying clothes on a clothes line indoors or outdoors to keep from running a clothes dryer. Washing the dishes by hand instead of in a dishwasher or using one or two days per week to wash clothing instead of one or two loads everyday is a great way to cut down expenses. Over time these helpful tips will decrease your bill and allow you to see a noticeable difference. When you save energy it benefits everyone. Once we can all use solar power to provide energy we will all see a difference in the cost of energy. Using energy efficient appliances is a great investment that will last for years.
