When it comes to the newest and best in technology, smartphones are nothing new. Nowadays, it seems like almost anything can be turned "smart." Your kitchen's smart equipment may make it easier for you to create healthier meals thanks to their fast-developing technology.
Here are the Latest Kitchen Technology Helps Improve Your Diet:
- Digital Scales- We are aware that portion control is essential for a healthy eating pattern in order to lose weight, keep weight off, or just prevent weight gain. Instead of assuming you are serving the right amount of food, use a digital scale to measure it out accurately.
- Instant Pot- The 7-in-1 multi-purpose cooker may save you a ton of time and free up a ton of room on your counter that would otherwise be occupied by large appliances that have a single function. The Instant Pot functions as a steamer, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, warmer, and saute/browning cooker.
- Air Fryer- The fact that fried meals are heavy in fat and calories and might cause weight gain and obesity if consumed in large quantities is not a huge revelation. The crispy, crunchy, delectable taste and texture you can get with an air fryer, however, that is comparable to the deep-fat fried food you receive at fast food restaurants, is what makes it innovative. Multiple cooking techniques are readily combined in an air fryer. Rapid air technology, focused air flow, and heat flow are all used in air fryers. They cook delicious crispy bits in less time than a conventional or convection oven and with little to no oil.
- Smart Fork- Eating too rapidly can result in you eating past the point of fullness because it takes your stomach about 20 minutes or more to release satiety hormones to your brain to signal that you are full. You've experienced it before: after gulping down your meal in a hurry or because you were starving, you feel good after finishing it, but 15 minutes later you feel bloated and uncomfortable full. There is now a fork that can guide you toward developing healthy behaviors. With the help of your tablet or smartphone and this fork, you can receive extensive real-time information about your eating habits. When you are eating too quickly, the fork may vibrate or light up. The information is uploaded to a website where you may examine your particular eating patterns and get advice on how to choose foods more wisely.
- Smart Thermometers- You won't ever again undercook or overcook your meat thanks to the new intelligent thermometers that are available. Even if you are up to 300 feet away, these ingenious devices can monitor the temperature of your food while it cooks and send notifications to your phone when it reaches the right internal temperature.
- Sous Vide Cookers- Sous vide cooking involves putting your food in a vacuum-sealed plastic bag and cooking it in carefully controlled water temperature. Because you don't need to add additional fat to keep food from sticking like you would if you were cooking on a pan or grill, sous vide cooking can help you stay on a balanced eating plan. Another benefit of cooking healthily? The juices and essential nutrients that would otherwise be lost during other cooking techniques are retained by the vacuum-sealed bags.
