No room in the smart home inspires more innovation than the kitchen.

Below, we’ve gathered some of the latest advancements in culinary equipment—fit for both amateur and advanced chefs alike.

GE Kitchen Hub

Finally, a fully integrated kitchen smart hub. While home owners were previously limited to a well-positioned Amazon Echo or Samsung’s touchscreen-outfitted refrigerator, the GE Kitchen Hub is a centrally located dashboard to aid and enhance all your culinary exploits. A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled 27-inch touchscreen that sits directly above your stove, the GE Kitchen Hub not only gives users command over all their home’s connected devices but doubles as a functioning ventilator for those unexpected smokey moments. Better still, the Kitchen Hub comes equipped with stove-top facing cameras, allowing for the future potential of interactive cooking classes—or perhaps more practically (and immediately) video calling mom to show her how you’re about to mess up one of her signature recipes. Of course, Hub users will also be able to stream their favorite playlist or binge watch Netflix on the device as they prepare dinner, and in deference to food-besmirched fingers, the whole Hub is controllable via a voice-enabled assistant named Geneva.

The GE Kitchen Hub debuts Fall 2018 and will retail for $600.

Hestan Cue

Cook with confidence with the Hestan Cue. Consisting of three elements—an 11-inch smart fry pan, a 1600-watt smart induction burner and a video-based recipe app—all that work in constant conjunction with one another—the Hestan Cue smart system ensures that aspiring chefs never burn their eggs. Or fish. Or any number of dishes. As users prepare the 100-plus (and constantly growing) Hestan Cue recipes, the pan, burner and app are in constant, Bluetooth-based communication, automatically adjusting the temperature to optimal heat while the app's video guide offers the chef tips on precision panhandling at just the right moment. The end result? Impressed (and well-fed) friends and family without hours of trial and error.

The Hestan Cue Smart Cooking System is available for $499.

Tetra

Meet the Tetra—it cooks, it cleans, it marriage counsels! With recent studies showing that dishwashing is the chore that puts the most strain on a marriage, the tiny, but powerful Tetra is nothing less than a game changer. Ideal for city or small-kitchen living, this countertop, internet-connected dishwasher requires no plumbing and is capable of washing two full place settings including plates, cups and bowls in about 10 minutes. But that’s not all! Manufacturer Heatworks says Tetra’s patented Ohmic Array Technology allows the little washer that could to heat water to temperatures far above more standard dishwashers, enabling users to cook lobster or other seafood dishes within the washer.

The Tetra will be available in late 2018 for $300

PicoBrew

The oenophile is flush with all manners of smart-tech catering to their wine obsession, but what of the hops enthusiast? Enter PicoBrew. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology to its most noble end, PicoBrew offers countertop devices that allow owners to enjoy fresh, flavorful beer they brewed themselves. Users place PicoPaks—fresh grains, hops and yeast selected by brewmasters from over 170 celebrated breweries and ordered via PicoBrew’s website—within their respective PicoBrew machine and after a two- to four-hour brew cycle (and about a week’s worth of gestation) they’re enjoying fresh beer they created. If aspiring brewmasters want to take an even greater hand in their beer-making, they can forgo PicoPaks from PicoBrew’s brewery partners and craft their own beer recipe via PicoBrew’s FreeStyle program, which will be delivered to their doorstep, ready for brewing.

PicoBrew offers three brewing machines of varying size and capability: Zymatic ($1,999), Pico Pro ($799), Pico C ($499).
