Someday, I will be able to afford the kitchen of my dreams.
It's not that I spend a lot of time longing for more than a working dishwasher. But with technological advances taking over every aspect of our lives, the kitchen is ground zero for domestic hipness. Behold:
You know how sometimes the things you keep in the refrigerator door aren't as cold as you'd like? Thermador's Freedom fridge blows cold air inside the door, keeping that little bottle of Dijon perfectly chilled.
Whirlpool's Polara just may be the next best thing to a housewife. This range (or "oven," as I like to call it) can be set to start baking at a specified time. And then to bake for a specified time. And then to cool down slightly and keep your dinner warm while you finish up Happy Hour downtown. By the time you walk in the door, that frozen lasagne is ready to eat. Can you imagine? It DOES THE COOKING FOR YOU. Truly a thing of beauty.
The microwave was invented as a convenience for lazy people. Smarthome has taken it a step further with the Beyond microwave. Scan in the barcode of the food you wish to heat. Place in microwave. Watch as the machine warms the item to exactly the right temperature. Eat, and fear the robot revolution.
