Cooking simulator adds a sense of touch to virtual food

Learning how to cook can be a frustrating experience. This should not be the case. Aside from an occasional overcooked steak, the process should be an enjoyable one. And considering that one gets to eat the results of one's labor, the aftermath isn't too bad either. (Unless that steak is really overdone.) Understanding that learning how to cook can be thought of as a game, a research team at the Tokyo Institute of Technology has created a cooking simulator designed to give novice cooks instantaneous feedback.

As a novel approach to culinary education, the system is composed of a force-feedback frying pan that works in conjunction with displayed images of ingredients. As users move and shuffle the frying pan about, the virtual foods move as directed, even changing colors to illustrate their doneness. The system even mimics the weight of the ingredients allowing for cooks to get a feel for cooking without ever touching any real food.

Combining a "rigid-body physics engine library and a heat conduction simulator" may not be tech found in a common go-to countertop appliance just yet, but the team envisions a different future. Perhaps one day the system could be used in the real world (with real food) not only to alert cooks as to the doneness of an ingredient, but how done something may be in a few minutes' time. As it constantly calculates temperature changes, as well as monitor motion, it could conceivably guide users through the cooking process from beginning to end, resulting in a perfectly cooked meal that would be as fun to make as it would be delicious.

Meanwhile, as the system is still one that deals with virtual food, the folks at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have kindly created a robot bartender to help with the virtual drinks.

Folding cutting board travels well

The design of this folding cutting board allows for easy transportation.

Space is always a concern in the kitchen; it can also be an issue in the great outdoors. While that might not make much sense at first considering that the great outdoors is both great and outdoors, people who enjoy their time in nature tend not to want to get bogged down with stuff. But getting away from it all doesn't have to mean getting away from everything.

No matter if hiking or camping, everybody has to stop sometime to eat. And that means, cutting, slicing, and dicing. For those looking to trek beyond gorp, the Snow Peak Set M Chopping Board consists of a folding wooden cutting board that houses a surprise. Tucked away inside of the prep tool is a chef's knife that fits snugly inside a custom-cut recess.

Weighing in at 16.6 ounces, the backpacking accessory provides a safe and easy way to transport an always useful utensil. When the cutting board is unfolded and the knife unleashed, eaters get about a 10x8-inch surface to work with, which translates to new eating opportunities. And that is certainly more appetizing than a diet consisting solely of good old raisins and peanuts.

Toaster oven icons know the menu

Push-button toasting and leftovers reheating.

(Credit:Amazon)

A toaster oven is one of those devices in the kitchen that are seemingly useful for everything. In fact, it gets pressed into service so often that we can practically use them blindfolded. (Do not use your kitchen appliances blindfolded.) It may be easy to forget how versatile a toaster oven can be, so that means a cheat sheet can help.

With icons to guide users through common tasks, the Panasonic NB-G110P Flash Xpress Toaster Oven ($127) makes the countertop appliance even easier to use. The preset functions are divided into two intuitive sections, one labeled "bread" and the other "food." Each section has three (mostly) recognizable icons, including pizza, hash browns, bread slices, and frozen waffles.

The approximately 10-inch-tall appliance has a footprint a little larger than a square foot and is capable of incremental temperature adjusting from 250 degrees to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The infrared oven heats up quickly and is rounded out by inclusions of a timer as well as an interior light. Capable of adjusting cooking time to suit the need, the appliance makes quick work of common countertop-cooking tasks. And that does include just making toast.

A view to the future with the Electrolux Design Lab 2012 semifinalists

Ingresure by Jongwoo Choi is a concept kitchen helper that is part of the Electrolux Design Lab 2012 competition.

(Credit:Electrolux Design Lab/Jongwoo Choi)

The Electrolux Design Lab is a yearly competition that challenges design students across the globe. This year's competition asked students to create home appliances that would "provide a fuller sensory experience." Perhaps one day, some of these entries will be used in the home kitchen. Below are a few highlights:

Ingresure (seen above) is by Jongwoo Choi. It is a gadget designed to be a taste tester. Instead of chef's tasting their own creation, they would use the device to taste it for them. The idea is that the Ingresure would give amateur chefs the assurance that they were following a recipe correctly. The Tastee (pictured below) from Christopher Holm-Hansen is another similar concept that also relies on taste sensors to assist home chefs.

The Tastee from Christopher Holm-Hansen would use "receptors based on the human taste bud" and then make suggestions about what ingredients to add.

(Credit:Electrolux Design Lab/Christopher Holm-Hansen)

The Fridge Nose (below) by Vilius Dringelis would be a refrigerator magnet that knows what is going on inside the fridge. Designed to keep track of perishables, the unobtrusive gadget would rely on sensors placed in the refrigerator to monitor food. When foods expire, the device would alert users, without the need to test the real thing.

The Fridge Nose by Vilius Dringelis may one day be able to tell you if the contents of the refrigerator are about to expire.

Combining food storage with cooking, Treat by Amy Mon-Chu Liu is a device that can be controlled remotely by a mobile device. As a food storage unit, the appliance would keep food under a vacuum seal, and the containers would change colors as food freshness deteriorated, until eventually it would fall from the treelike structure. Food preparation could be controlled via a mobile app that could start the cooking process for individual pods remotely.

When food falls off the Treat by Amy Mon-Chu Liu, it is a treat no longer.

(Credit:Electrolux Design Lab/Amy Mon-Chu Liu)

Using haptic technology, the Smart Embossed Blender by HwaJin Ock would provide feedback to users by manipulating the handle of the stick blender. As the consistency of the blended food or beverage changes, the handle of the blender would alter its texture to suit. The idea would be that users could sense when their food or beverage has reached the desired consistency.

The Smart Embossed Blender by HwaJin Ock would provide users feedback by physically manipulating the feel of the handle.

(Credit:Electrolux Design Lab/HwaJin Ock)

As with any design competition, some cuts will have to be made. Electrolux has posted a list of 30 semifinalists. Of the list, 10 will be chosen for the final held in Milan on October 25.

Hot tea at the touch of a button

More than just a tea-maker?

(Credit:Hammacher Schlemmer)

The art of brewing tea is an age-old process that has been refined for generations. Cultures far and wide have developed traditions and ceremonies surrounding the ubiquitous beverage. The drinking of tea offers a way to bring together people, giving them a reason to slow down, relax, and contemplate their place in the grand scheme of things. Also, it is available caffeinated.

The rush to get caffeine into our system is not of minor importance. In recent times we have seen the proliferation of coffee shops and energy drinks -- there is even an inhaler contrivance out there called the AeroShot. Tea-lovers need not fear though; quick caffeine is there for them too.

The Instant Hot Water Dispenser is a countertop device designed to deliver hot water in as few as 8 seconds. With a capacity of 1.5 quarts of water, the unit stands by waiting to get called into action. When the need arises, the 1,700-watt heater delivers water at a piping-hot temperature of 203 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hot tea need not be the only thing that this hot water on demand system can be used for; oatmeal and hot chocolate lovers can rejoice, too. While there is nothing wrong with instant oatmeal gratification, it probably doesn't hold the same cultural cachet that tea does. Maybe in a few centuries' time. Or maybe not. Regardless, it is something to ponder while sipping tea.

Thermador announces updates to wall oven line

Sure to be noticed.

(Credit:Thermador)

The oven has long been a fixture in the kitchen. It stands guard over our food, supplying delicious cooked results on demand. However, as dominant in the kitchen as the oven may be, its very ubiquity sometimes makes it easy to take for granted. Unless, of course, the oven is functional, stylish, and packed with features.

Thermador has just officially announced new features for its 2012 lineup of built-in wall ovens. The luxury appliance maker has unveiled new technical and engineering upgrades for both the Professional Series as well as the Masterpiece Series of ovens. People looking for a 12-pound-capacity rotisserie, a 5,000-watt, 12-pass broil element, or a fast 2-hour self-cleaning mode will find an upgraded model to suit their needs.

Additional features include telescoping racks that can hold up to 45 pounds, specially designed hinges that allow for smooth opening and closing of the oven door and a large 4.7-cubic-foot oven capacity. The handsome wall ovens are available in single or double built-in configurations designed for the luxury market. Starting at $2,999 the quality appliances are made to look good while delivering excellent performance -- all without blending into the woodwork.

Indoor grill gets heavy

No need to brave the elements in order to grill.

(Credit:Chef's Catalog)

Outdoor grilling has its time (daylight) and place (outdoors). But sometimes, the grill gremlins growl deep in the pit of the stomach when it is just not convenient to fire up the monster out back. Luckily, there are other ways of soothing the pangs for a grill session by moving it indoors where it is safe. But that doesn't mean cooking inside can't stand up to the toughest of tasks.

With strong heat retention, along the associated heat recovery, the Waring Pro CIG100 Cast Iron Grill supplies grillers with a heavy-duty indoor alternative. Thanks to its cast-iron grill grates, the countertop device can withstand cooking the heartiest of meals. Well-suited for everything from searing steaks to quickly cooking veggies, the indoor grill manages to pack a punch without getting bogged down by the lack of an open flame.

The cast-iron surface of the indoor grill has an additional benefit in that the thin patina of fat that ends up seasoning the grill acts as a natural nonstick surface. With smoke mostly absent from this cooking method (the grill has a drip tray that can be filled with water and is designed to minimize smoke), the appliance won't exactly replicate an outdoor grilling experience, but the 1,800-watt countertop cooker will make it easy to fend off the hunger.

Ice cream maker churns out a tune

Fun ice cream maker can play one of three classic songs.

(Credit:Williams Sonoma)

Ice cream is more than a blank canvas upon which to heap different flavors. The fact that the cold treat can be enjoyed with flavors ranging from the mundane to the exotic certainly helps to make ice cream tempting to all (and the sweet taste doesn't hurt, either), but the variety of styles it can be served in also contributes to its appeal. Also, it goes good with a tune.

The Breville Smart Scoop Ice Cream Compressor is a countertop ice cream maker that has twelve hardness settings. Producing 1.5 quarts of sorbet, frozen yogurt, gelato, or ice cream per batch, the device also alerts users of the proper time to add mix-ins to give the final result that extra special personal touch that cold treat lovers enjoy so much. Since it is compressor driven, the appliance has other advance features such as a hold setting and no need to use prefrozen bowls. Completing the experience, the ice cream maker plays one of three preset tunes when the batch is finished.

Perhaps like Pavlov's dog, hearing songs like "Camptown Races," "Turkey in the Straw," and "The Entertainer" will forevermore signal the imminent arrival of a treat. While a conditioned reflex in this regard isn't a bad thing, some may experience a knee-jerk response to the price tag of $400 for the unit. Luckily, the feature-rich aspect of the compressor-driven appliance will make the price easier to take. That and a batch of ice cream ready to eat.

Dyson DC44 Animal: The ultimate in hand vacs gets an upgrade and a price bump

The DC44 Animal Digital Slim vacuum offers improved battery life and suction but costs $399.99.

(Credit:Dyson)

Last year, Dyson released a very high-tech -- and pricey -- hand vacuum, the Digital Slim DC35. That model started out at $350 but has since come down to $300.

Now Dyson is serving up a new hand vac, the Digital Slim DC44 Animal, which improves upon the earlier model, offering better battery life (20 minutes of "fade-free" power instead of 15 minutes), increased suction, and an upgraded attachment for sucking up pet hair (there's an Animal version of the DC35 that costs $329). While those are certainly welcome upgrades, I'm not sure they merit a price increase to $400, but that's what it'll cost you to pick one of these up -- at least in the short term.

As with the earlier model, you get a wand attachment that allows you to clean up high or connect the motorized floor tool to clean down low (in other words, you can use this much as you would a standard vacuum). And, as with the DC35 models, there's a "max" button within easy reach of your thumb that boosts suction. Engaging that button does hurt battery life (you get 8 minutes of boost suction, which is up from 6 minutes).

The Digital Slim DC44 Animal comes with several attachments, including a wand and motorized floor tool.

(Credit:Dyson)

Call it the Porsche or Rolls-Royce of hand vacs, the DC44 is obviously not one that everyone can afford. That said, many a pet owner swears by these Dyson Animal vacs, and for some, it's worth shelling out that kind of dough (and it does come in handy for cleaning your Porsche, if you have one).

Of course, I would have preferred if Dyson had brought the DC44 out for the same price as the DC35 when it was first released, but at least DC35 owners won't feel quite so bad that they didn't wait for this newer model that has some important improvements.

Steaming deep fryer talks turkey

Deliciousness at every turn.

(Credit:Chef's Catalog)

Deep frying is serious business. Just look at all the attention that deep frying anything and putting it on a stick gets in the food world. This of course, is not a bad thing; deep fried anything on a stick is usually quite delicious. However, there happens to be another way of achieving deliciousness by the spearing of meat: the rotisserie.

The Waring Pro TF200 Rotisserie Turkey Fryer/Steamer offers a bit of something for everyone -- and more than enough to go around. The integrated rotisserie mechanism rotates a turkey through hot oil creating an intriguing method of cooking that can produce a fully cooked 18-pound bird in fewer than 90 minutes. A front-facing spigot makes draining the 2.5-gallon device easy, which is a feature that will be often used as the countertop appliance can also be used as a steamer.

Safety features include a magnetic breakaway power cord, nonslip feet, and stay-cool basket handles; however, with the perils of Thanksgiving turkey frying well documented on the Web, it's probably a good idea to employ some extra caution. The reservoir features minimum and maximum fill lines, offering an easy way to explore these new cooking opportunities, of which there will be plenty for this year-round appliance. But while chowing down on all that delicious deep-fried goodness, just try to remember that it can be used as a healthy steamer, too.

Griddle like you're at a diner

The backsplash and raised edges make it easy to flip eggs, pancakes, or any other breakfast items.

(Credit:Williams Sonoma)

Eating out at a restaurant can sometimes seem like a magical experience. But the coordinated dance between the back of the house and the front of the house is one that relies on timing, skill, and experience. However, all that being said, there is still an element of surprise when a plate of eggs, hash browns, and bacon gets set down in front of you in a matter of mere minutes. Yet this feat happens in diners across the country countless times a day.

Replicating that experience at home is not necessarily the impossible task it may seem to be. Behind the scenes at a diner -- it is usually safe to say -- there is not an army of wizards and leprechauns making magic. However, the short-order chef does have one piece of equipment at his or her disposal that helps to facilitate the magic: the flat-top griddle.

Most of us do not have the means to outfit the home kitchen with an additional big piece of equipment. We can, however, add the Calphalon Unison Nonstick Short Order Griddle. Complete with backstop and raised edges, the 14-inch-by-10-inch pan offers room enough to cook up a full-fledged breakfast. It's capable of transforming the home cooktop into something greater than the sum of its parts. And it also offers an additional benefit similar to one of the perks of eating out: the nonstick pan cleans up easily and is dishwasher-safe.

Make caramel apples on the countertop

Something for everyone.

(Credit:Hammacher Schlemmer)

Kids like sweets. Parents like apples. Luckily, the forces that be figured out a long time ago how to resolve any potential issues surrounding these basic truisms: simply combine the two. How and when the first caramel apple came to be is probably lost to time, but it is a good bet that a parent had something to do with it (or an apple farmer). However, getting your soon-to-be-sticky hands on one isn't exactly as easy as picking up a fun meal at the fast-food place down the street.

While caramel and apples may be abundant, some user interaction is required to combine the two. Good thing doing so isn't exactly work. The Caramel Apple Maker is an interactive countertop contrivance that makes it easy to melt a pot of caramel. Surrounding the device is a round tray that can be filled with toppings such as nuts or candy. Simply dunk the apple, rotate the divided tray for the desired ingredient, and dredge the apple in it.

Parents will like the fact that the rotating tray will not get tangled up in the power cord. Also, the clear, domed lid for the caramel is a handy way to keep things covered (while cleaning up after sticky hands). But when it's all said and done there is always one final perk to consider: the boss gets to have a caramel apple, too.
