Go ahead: continue to ask Siri how long you are supposed to cook a rib-eye steak for. After all, the internet usually has the answer to all of your kitchen queries. But consider all the variables that go into perfecting a dish: weight, temperature, time, personal preference. The fact is, no matter how comprehensive the instructions, it's all about the execution.

It's been years since wearable technology was popularized to afford users constant, precise measurements of... whatever. Shouldn't the same logic apply to the kitchen? I've been seeing more and more types of "smart" cookware. I know it's hard to admit your cooking skills are lacking, but you need to embrace the high-tech kitchen appliances that factors in all of the complicated variables in food and beverage preparation and computes the optimal instructions to fulfill your specifications.

Taste buds, rejoice.

Pantelligent features a temperature-controlled sensor on the handle of their high tech, cast-iron frying pan; All you need to do is enter what food you're cooking and how you like it, and the algorithm does the rest. The blue-tooth enabled sensor connects to an app that offers instructions in real time; its like a culinary GPS.

The sensor collects stovetop data and sends alerts to the app like when to flip your food, adjust the heat and when your dish is ready to serve. If you really want to sit back and relax, the pan can also operate on autopilot; You enter the same data but the pan adjusts the controls at its own discretion. The only thing this smart pan can't do better or more efficiently than a low-tech pan is go into the dishwasher—it's the price you have to pay to achieve frying greatness.

As someone who has been subject to many a botched cookie in her lifetime, I can tell you that baking measurements and conversions can be tricky to master. Perfect Company's high tech kitchen scale is a foolproof alternative to analog appliances. This smart scale connects to a recipe app on your phone or tablet; You simply choose a recipe, enter the desired servings and available ingredients, and let technology do the dirty work.

The scale calculates measurements as you pour and corresponds to an onscreen virtual bowl to let you know exactly when to stop. The app can generate shopping lists based on past choices as well as other nifty functionalities you need to cook like Betty Crocker.

Perfect Company enables fledgling bartenders to utilize the same method for cocktail creation as they in their aforementioned kitchen appliance. This high tech drink maker comes complete with a cocktail shaker, but the smart scale pairs with any glass or cup you'd like to use; You need only select a recipe, a serving size (anything from individual portions to pitchers) and pour until the app instructs you to stop. Pick your poison, and serve it the same way every time.

I've never understood nutritional guidelines that describe portion sizes in terms "a handful" or other ambiguous measurements; Fact is, if I'm actually going to stick to a diet plan for weight loss or otherwise, I need to cook with a kitchen appliance that enables me to be consistently mindful of what I eat and access that information later to track my progress. Enter the high tech nutrition scale and its companion app by IDAODAN. The appliance's database has 9,000 stored food items; Select a food and your desired portion size, and allow the scale to save you from self-delusion.

As far as kitchen appliances go, food thermometers are one of the more underrated gadgets; Frankly, they're pretty boring and call to mind the annoying chore of walking to and fro the grill or oven to make sure you didn't overcook your meat, not to mention that you need to set a new timer between each interval so you don't forget. Without overstating it, Extsud's high tech kitchen thermometer is a much-needed update to the traditional type. The probe has a sensor attached that hooks up with an app and sends temperature updates directly to your phone, so you only need to tend to your kitchen appliances when your food is ready.
