“So with just one appliance, you could be mixing and chopping and whipping and steaming and boiling and even cooking the onion.   So no more crying in the kitchen, you just put the onion into the bowl  and it’s going to chop it for you and it’s going to cook it for you.  The way to control it is through the Smart Kitchen Hub.”

A tablet that is part of the system.   But wait…there’s more…coming later this year.   You can find it at www.cookingpal.com.

“The heater is the only one with a separate plug.  The FreshView with the air purifier and CoolView with a fan are both USB powered and then fit within a very small footprint within the monitor riser.”

The stand can hold monitors weighing up to 200 pounds and is solidly made.  The design is clever…and can make those hours at the desk more comfortable.
