When I got back from the Housewares Show in March, I wrote about what I saw as a new trend emerging in the form of what I was calling “Guided Cooking Systems”. At the show, I had talked to three upstarts creating new products that didn’t seem to fit into any existing cooking category. Sure, these products combined we had identified as some of the hotter trends in the future kitchen overall – like connectivity, induction heating, app-driven control and guidance – but it was the combination of the three that made me think we had something.
