Smart kitchen appliances offer home cooks an advantage in many ways. First, by connecting your kitchen gadget to your smartphone, you can more easily schedule when to start cooking and monitor progress remotely. For example, if he has a smart coffee maker, he can set it to start brewing a cup when he says “Alexa, good morning.” Another benefit is that many smart kitchen gadgets, such as the Anova sous vide, have recipes built into their apps, so you can easily find out how long you should cook your steak for the perfect medium rare. No more guessing.
From Instant Pots to coffee makers to home brewers, here are our favorite smart kitchen gadgets.
- Weber launches its own smart pellet grill. The Weber SmokeFire pellet grill can both grill and smoke at a temperature range of 200 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. It's controlled by the Weber Connect app and uses June's smart oven technology to help you decide how and when to cook your food. The Weber SmokeFire costs $999 for the 24-inch model and $1,199 for the 36-inch version. Both are available for pre-order at weber.com and are expected to ship in early 2020.
- Anova's newest sous vide cooker, the Anova Precision Cooker, is a more powerful version of the $99 Precision Cooker Nano. While the Nano is Bluetooth-only, the new Precision Cooker has Wi-Fi and a more powerful 1000-watt heating element. The Precision Cooker is available for $199.

There's a good reason why the Instant Pot almost single-handedly popularized the pressure cooker market. Its programmable device can not only make a five-minute risotto, but also cook eggs, cake, yogurt, and more in a fraction of the time it takes. After testing all of the company's models, the best Instant Pot is the Instant Pot Duo. They were the best at making eggs, chicken, rice, pork, etc., and the prices were reasonable. Too. This model comes in 3-quart, 6-quart, and 8-quart sizes.

There's more than one reason why the Braun BrewSense Drip Coffee Maker KF6050 is the best coffee maker. First, it looks classy and sits nicely on your countertop. Not only does it make delicious coffee, but it also has features such as a permanent filter and a charcoal water filter. You can brew up to 12 cups at a time, and you can also adjust the temperature of the heating plate to keep your coffee hot for longer.
The Bambino is the best espresso machine because, despite its small size, it always produces great espresso. Equipped with a 1,560-watt Therma coil, it's ready within seconds at the push of a button, and can continue to dispense coffee in double or single shots from the large, removable 2-liter reservoir. The self-frothing and temperature-sensing steam wand can also froth milk for lattes.
“Sous vide cooking'' is a process in which steaks and other items are vacuum-sealed in a plastic bag and soaked in boiling water for a long period of time. This low, slow cooking method results in incredibly tender, juicy meat. Anova's Nano Precision Cooker takes out the guesswork by connecting to your smartphone via an app and alerting you when your food is ready. Additionally, this app features recipes and tips from Serious Eats, one of his best cooking sites online. Anova's latest model, his Bluetooth-only Nano, is smaller than the original but has better on-device controls and heats water and cooks food just as fast.

How do you know if your turkey is done? You can keep opening the oven and sticking a thermometer into the bird, but you can just sit back and watch the football game and get an alert on your smartphone when the bird is cooked. What if you could receive it? That's where iGrill2 comes in handy. The master kit comes with 3 meat probes and an ambient temperature probe, perfect for grilling as well as smoking meat. The iGrill2 works via Bluetooth (it has a 40-foot range), and the app displays recommended temperatures and doneness levels (rare, medium-rare, etc.) for all types of meat, and can send alerts while cooking.

A kitchen scale is essential because if you don't use accurate measurements when baking, your pie or cake can be a disaster. Drop's connected scale guides you through ingredient-by-ingredient recipes on your iPhone or iPad, making baking easy even for beginners. If you want to double a recipe, the app's clever features automatically change ingredient amounts proportionally.
The only thing that can ruin brisket or smoked meat is the temperature spike inside the smoker. Traeger's Ironwood 650 is a Wi-Fi-enabled smoker that not only monitors the temperature, but also automatically adjusts it. You can also control your grill using the app and it's packed with recipes. Because the Ironwood 650 uses wood pellets, fuel costs are slightly higher than traditional charcoal smokers. However, the results cannot be disputed. Delicious, delicious barbecue.
