For most of us, making cheese at home seems almost laughably unattainable, something for the Martha Stewart’s of the world, not the average (or even above average) home cook. A simple ricotta, maybe, but a blue cheese or a cheddar? No way. A new device claims it can make even the most hapless cook into a…
One of the big hits of CES 2018 was the Tetra countertop dishwasher. Meant for small living spaces, the countertop dishwasher cleans dishes using less water than a conventional dishwasher, and doesn’t take up much space in the process. At this year’s show, a French company called Daan showed off a European cousin to the…
You know you’re in a fancy eating establishment when they start throwing the word “infused” around. Thyme-infused butter. Rosemary-infused coconut oil. You get the picture. If you’ve wanted to concoct your own culinary infusions at home, but didn’t know how, then perhaps you should check out Levo. Levo is a countertop infusing device that automates…
Suvie, the connected countertop appliance that refrigerates your food and uses four-zone cooking to automatically have it ready for you when you want it, made its first official debut to the public this evening at The Spoon’s first ever Food Tech Live event in Las Vegas.

I know at least one range of new products I’ll have to check out. Brooklyn-based smart kitchen company…
I used to think making predictions about consumer technology in the run-up to CES was a fool’s errand. After all, all it takes is one or two surprise announcements from a big player or ambitious startup to throw all of your assumptions for the coming year into question. But my thinking about this has changed. …

The funding announcement came as part of an update to early buyers via the company’s community…
Over the past couple years, there’s been what can only be described as an intellectual property land grab in the world of computer vision as Google, Amazon and Microsoft file more patents in an effort to establish foundations from which to launch an innumerable amount of AI-driven products and services over the next decade or more.…
