Intelligent Spoon for the geeky cook

intelligent spoon

If you belong to the Sandra Lee fan club because you can't cook, then the Intelligent Spoon is something you and I, a kitchen gadget geek, can share.

The Intelligent Spoon is the product of an experiment out of the MIT Media Lab that detects temperature, acidity, salinity, and viscosity levels with zinc, gold, zener diode, and aluminum sensors. The spoon sends the information back to a host computer for processing and direction. Kind of like a techno-geeky sous chef/cooking school coach.

Um, I doubt it would help you with a fallen souffle, but it certainly would be able to tell you if you accidentally substitute salt for sugar in your cupcakes.

I wasn't impressed with its demo. The demo'er would add salt to his salad dressing, stir it, run back to his computer: "yep- there's the salt" he would say pointing to the screen. Er... that was suppose to be usefull?

Accident with salt vs sugar? Tasting the batter seems to do a much better and cheaper job.

Telling me how viscous a dough is? My eyes and hand give feedback to my brain better and faster than this spoon would.

I guess if one wants to cook and is visually or taste bud impaired, perhaps this spoon could be of use.
