"cooking utensils" news and stories

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.
