6 kitchen gadgets that make adulting feel easier | TechCrunch

Hands-free, AI-powered countertop assistants are becoming a major kitchen trend. The Nosh Chef Robot automates much of the cooking process using reusable ingredient cartridges and a proprietary AI system trained on thousands of recipes. Users load ingredients first, then the robot can roughly chop, stir, sauté, portion, plate, and self-clean. Built-in sensors monitor moisture, texture, and browning in real time, adjusting heat and seasoning, and the system can recognize loaded ingredients to recommend meals. The robot cannot bake, roast, or steam, but it supports more than 500 dishes such as stir-fry and curry. The StirMate Automatic Pot Stirrer rotates around a pot to stir soups, sauces, risotto, pudding, and oatmeal while users multitask, and it can also support accessibility needs.

"The Nosh Chef Robot is a huge upgrade from a slow cooker or Instant Pot, as it can manage much of the cooking process autonomously. The AI-powered robot dispenses exact amounts of oils, spices, and ingredients from reusable ingredient cartridges. Users still need to load ingredients beforehand, but once everything is in place, the robot can roughly chop, stir, sauté, portion, plate, and self-clean after meals. However, it can't bake, roast, or steam, so there are limitations, but the company says it supports more than 500 dishes, such as stir-fry and curry."

"The system runs on NoshOS, a proprietary AI trained on thousands of recipes and cooking techniques. Built-in sensors monitor moisture, texture, and browning levels in real time, adjusting heat and seasoning throughout the cooking process. It can even recognize ingredients already loaded into the device and recommend meals based on what's available."

"An automatic soup stirrer sounds unnecessary until you use it once, and suddenly you're hooked. Instead of standing over the stove painstakingly stirring soup, sauce, risotto, pudding, or oatmeal, the StirMate Automatic Pot Stirrer rotates around the pot for you while you prep other ingredients, answer emails, or scroll on your phone. It could also serve as a helpful accessibility too"
