Whirlpool Kitchen of the Future
Whirlpool has a kitchen of the future in the works. An early prototype features a revolutionary touchscreen cooktop that can pull info from your tablet and phone, as well as control your oven and stove and boil water at the same time. The use of induction technology to heat pots keeps the cooktop surface cool to the touch while your food cooks. That means you can easily manage your Facebook and Twitter accounts on the same screen you're stirring your sauce pot on.
Bugatti Noun Toaster
It used to be a toaster was just for toasting bread. Things got crazy when manufacturers added a bagel setting to their toasters. Bugatti is turning the toaster into the must-have appliance of the decade with their Noun Toaster. The clear-walled contraption (made of transparent ceramic glass) is Bluetooth-enabled and syncs up to an app that you control with your phone or tablet. We're not just talking toast from the shower. The Noun can cook shrimp, steak, vegetables, and more.
