Incorporating Smart Technology into Your Kitchen with Silver Lake Cabinetry
What smart technology is available for the kitchen?
Smart ovens can allow you to do anything from turning your oven on and off remotely to checking on your food as it cooks. If anybody else has ever gotten halfway down the street before, the question comes flashing to mind like a neon sign, ” Did I turn the oven off?” You understand the inconvenience and frustration of having to turn that car around. A smart oven takes the panic and wasted minutes out of that question with the press of a button.
Have you ever heard of a Wi-Fi-enabled fridge? This is another device with a higher upfront cost but long-term savings. It allows you to set expiration dates to be notified before your food is about to expire. Some have transparency settings that allow you to make grocery lists without propping the door open with your foot for minutes at a time while being peppered with alarms reminding you your fridge is above temperature every fifteen seconds. Added benefits include customizing the temperature of each drawer remotely and allowing you to turn your ice maker on and off remotely.
A benefit of smart lighting is that you can personalize your experience with it. For example, you can set up a voice-controlled system, or lighting presets for any given time on one remote. In the kitchen, having good lighting is helpful for reading recipes, finding pantry items, and even preventing cooking accidents. If you want your lights on for when you pull into your driveway but not for the full work day, you can save eight hours of electricity with remote access.
Smart faucets work wonders for reducing cross-contamination when cooking. Making a salad and a steak isn’t exactly a dangerous task until you touch your faucet handle with the hands you used to marinade the steak right before tossing the salad. A motion sensor is a great solution for this problem, but there are a lot of other secret benefits to using smart faucets. A motion sensor also helps you save on water usage, putting an end to running for thirty minutes straight while you finish
a sink full of dishes. Aside from motion sensor benefits, you can also preset your water temperature and set your sink to monitor the amount of water you’re using at any given time.
