The kitchen will help you buy food and cook in 30 years
The kitchen of the future will make full use of the developed computer network to provide people with great convenience. At that time, people can easily view information about vegetables, meat, eggs, fruits and other foods sold in all supermarkets or wet markets in their community through the network connected to the computers inside each kitchen appliance. After choosing the right product, order it online, and then you just have to wait for it to be delivered to your door from the comfort of your home.
Hard-working office workers no longer have to worry about rushing home to cook after get off work. You can put the prepared raw materials into the rice cooker, microwave oven or oven before going to work. When you are about to get off work, you can remotely control these appliances through the computer network in the office, and select the menu function at the same time, according to your family's preferences. It’s OK to make a program based on your taste and method. The entire cooking process is controlled by the computer, so you can have delicious meals right after you get home from get off work. You can also let kitchen appliances download menus through the Internet, and let the "smart electric stove" automatically make delicious meals based on this menu, making cooking easier and more convenient.
The refrigerator can tell you when the food has spoiled
The networked kitchen of the future will also be equipped with an intelligent refrigerator, which will tell you: what food is stored in the refrigerator and which The storage time is too long and needs to be processed in time. The milk has been in the refrigerator for a while. At this time, the refrigerator will automatically remind you that the shelf life of the milk is approaching, allowing you to drink it quickly to avoid waste. The refrigerator door is equipped with a computer, barcode scanner and monitor, which can provide The correct method of food preservation, processing and preparation allows you to handle food in the safest and healthiest way; the refrigerator is also equipped with a TV and a radio. People can watch TV or listen to music in the kitchen while cooking, or Through the camera connected to the refrigerator, the situation outside the kitchen door and the safety of the children are monitored; the refrigerator can also provide a large number of various recipes. As long as you follow the recipes, delicious dishes will be on the table.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States has a research center that specializes in designing kitchen supplies - the "Smart Kitchenware Research Laboratory", where researchers are trying to make kitchen facilities more practical: all kitchens There will be various plastic containers in the house. Adding a sensor to the lid of these containers can detect what food is inside. It can also comprehensively consider the influence of temperature and other factors, and automatically display a countdown to show how long it will take for the food in the container to deteriorate - put the container with food in the refrigerator, and the countdown will be very slow. ; If the container is placed outside the refrigerator, the countdown will become faster.
Make your own tableware
30 years later, the space in the kitchen may still be limited, but the items placed can be unlimited because they are reusable and dissolvable. Stable plastic sheets can save about 1/3 of the kitchen space.
Researchers from the Intelligent Kitchenware Research Laboratory explained that this sheet is like a deformable mold. Due to its strong plasticity, it can be turned into various tableware you need. When preparing a meal, you can use this plastic sheet to create a plate of the right shape and depth. After eating, when you need to store it, it can be turned into a thin slice, which saves space and is very convenient. But now this plastic sheet is very primitive and is just a heater and pressure regulator. Under the action of small air pressure, it can change into the shape of a flat plate; under the action of large air pressure, it can become either a cup, a plate or a saucer.
This is a very interesting thing. You no longer have to worry about breaking the dishes and spending money to buy new ones. When the time comes, just pinch the plastic piece a few times and you will have everything.
It seems that 30 years later, we no longer have to worry about rushing home to cook, nor do we have to worry about what to eat for dinner. Everything can be easily handled by the smart kitchen!
