Being in the business of covering food news, it’s easy to be all doom and gloom right now. While the COVID-19 outbreak is certainly causing huge disruptions in the foodservice industry, there are some silver linings. The coronavirus — and subsequent social distancing measures — could have a real effect within our own kitchen. Reuters…

In a world where seemingly every other kitchen hardware startup has a pitch for a Keurig-esque business model of recurring revenue on their investor deck, it helps when your cofounder has actually sold a company to Keurig for hundreds of millions. That’s the case with Blix, a startup cofounded by longtime beverage executive Eduoard Sterngold,…

Another trade show has gone down due to the coronavirus. Last month we learned the Inspired Home Show (previously known as the Housewares Show) had cancelled the portion of its annual trade show that featured OEM parts from manufacturers in China. Today we learned they’ve called the whole thing off. From the announcement issued today…

Perhaps we’ve been going about the roll out of the smart kitchen all wrong. Instead of debuting new, fully functioning–and expensive—smart fridges every year, we should just sit back and let KidKraft work its magic. Last week at Toy Fair, KidKraft announced its Alexa 2-in-1 Kitchen and Market. That’s right, the wooden kitchen playset filled…

June released new cook programs for its smart oven over the weekend that include cooking two different items at the same time. The new “combo” programs arrived on the June on February 1 and include automated cooking of salmon and asparagus, sausage and broccoli, broccoli and cauliflower, nuggets and french fries, and tenders and french…

If you’re like, well, practically everyone, the inside of your fridge is probably a dystopian nightmare: half-used bottles of condiments jammed into the doors, leftover boxes stacked precariously atop one another, limp broccoli tucked away in vegetable bins. Earlier this month, The Wirecutter ran a fun piece on how to Marie Kondo your fridge. It’s…

One question we’ve asked for a while here at The Spoon is whether vertical farms will eventually make their way into the average consumer’s home. Versions of these farms self-contained, temperature controlled smart gardens have existed for years now, but they’ve historically gotten the most adoption among startups and independent food producers selling to local…

On our Food Tech Show podcast this week, The Spoon’s editorial gang talked about all the drink robots we saw this year at CES. One that definitely stood out for all of us was World Matcha’s Cuzen Matcha maker. Yes, the Cuzen will grind matcha leaves and stir it for you. That in and of…

The Spoon has been covering The Spinn saga basically since we founded the publication back in 2016. The high-tech crowdfunded coffee machine that uses centrigual force to extract coffee is, after all, three years overdue. Early backers of the product (including Spoon Founder Mike Wolf) are understandably… concerned that they would ever get theirs. But…

At this year’s big tech show in Vegas, there was no shortage of food tech. Everything from Impossible Pork to robot cooking assistants were on display, and so after spending five days in the desert checking out the latest and greatest, here’s my wrap-up of everything I saw in kitchen tech at the show: Lots…

If you’re a sous vide or precision cooking nerd, chances are you’ve heard of Scott Heimendinger. Not only did Heimendinger basically invent the consumer sous vide circulator back in 2010 and eventually turn that invention into a company and a successful Kickstarter campaign, but the culinary experimenter known as the ‘Seattle Food Geek’ also spent…
