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

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.

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.

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.

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.
