Cooking technologies have evolved immensely over the past few decades. As tech in the home continues to improve, many leading appliance brands are creating exceptional, one of a kind gadgets and cooking tools to help make the cooking experience easier. That does bring the question, what are the most popular cooking technologies currently available on the market? In this article, we will discuss some of the most popular technologies to consider.

Smart Technology

Smart technology is a great addition to the cooking world for a multitude of reasons. The ability to connect your cooking gadgets and tools via Wi-Fi from your smartphone is very useful. Not only can you receive notifications when your attention is needed, but you can also initiate tasks remotely. For example, you can preheat the oven while your attention is given elsewhere.

There are all kinds of smart kitchen technologies you can use right now, too. From smart ovens to home water generators, composting devices, and smart kettles, these are only a few of the many tech products you can to elevate your cooking.

Induction Cooking

Café’s 36" built-in touch control induction cooktop. Features a precise Control Mode that makes temperature-sensitive cooking methods easy. Add this to your next kitchen design and prepare meals like a pro with fast, precise heat control that stays cool to the touch.

It’s one of the technologies that helps eliminate the need to cook with gas, and allows you to cook more efficiently. Instead, a copper coil is added underneath the cooking surface. That helps generate electromagnetic energy, which will help you warm up your meals.

Not only is electromagnetic energy very effective when it comes to heating pots/pans, but it gives temperature control as well. Additionally, the cooking time is significantly faster. That’s why, over the past decade, more and more people started opting for induction cooking tools.

It’s also a lot safer, not to mention the energy efficiency is significant.

Precision Cooking with Built-in Sensors

Subzero-Wolf DF364G features temperature probe alerts to inform you when your dish has reached the desired cooking temperature. System also self-cleans and is equipped with timed cook, sabbath mode, and delayed start.

One of the drawbacks of cooking for many people is the fact that you constantly need to monitor the progress and be there physically. However, with precision cooking, that’s not the case.

Precision cooking systems use sensors that will track the current progress, and they will adjust the temperature, cooking time and everything else on their own. The technology is widely used right now, specifically in sous vide or temperature probes for ovens.

Air Fryer

The idea of not using much oil for cooking is very appealing for many at-home, health-conscious chefs, but a lot of people find it difficult to do. Thankfully, an air frying system allows you to obtain that crispy texture produced by a typical oil without actually using a lot of oil to begin with.

It’s a healthier and better cooking system. Thankfully, it’s not very restrictive since there are hundreds of recipes you can cook this way. The technology can be found in various countertop appliances and ovens.

Multi-Cooking Functionality

Miele 36" range Dual Fuel model with M Touch, featuring network-enabled WiFi capabilities for precise control and ergonomic design.

Devices that have multiple functions have become very popular in the kitchen over the past few years. The multi-cooker is a cooking appliance that has a multitude of different functions. It can bake, stew, grill, roast, fry, simmer, boil, and steam food, among many others.

Every multi-cooker has its own different features, and that’s something to keep in mind. You need to create a list with the desired cooking functions and find the right unit.

Multi-cooking capability helps you prepare lots of food all in one system, removing the need to have separate appliances for different cooking purposes.

Convection Baking

Bertazzoni 30 4-burner electric self-clean oven master series with a stainless steel finish. This range fits beautifully in a new kitchen design and enhances your kitchen performance with its four gas burners and separately controlled flames.

Convection is a great technology that circulates hot air within a designated region of a cooking surface. It’s particularly beneficial in modern ovens, especially for things like browning and cooking.

The role of convection baking is to rely on a fan that blows hot air around and over the food. Not only is the cooking time shorter, but the taste is much better since everything cooks evenly. You don’t have to worry about some parts of your food being overcooked or undercooked.

Steam Baking

Pictured is the KitchenAid KSD900ES, a duel fuel range with two separate compartments to allow for baking at two different temperatures. Its steam rack offers the ability to provide additional moisture to the inside of the oven, enhancing your cooking experience.

Luxury homeowners are demanding steam baking functionality as a part of their cooking experience. Steam baking in modern ranges often comes equipped with a “steam rack,” which is a specialized rack designed to add steam, or moisture, to your food.

With modern baking technologies, ranges with steam baking functionality will also raise the oven’s internal temperature if the door is opened. The role of steam ovens is to keep the moisture and nutrients inside the food.

Steam baking is also one of the healthier cooking options that you can go for, allowing you to also roast as well.
