Abstract Cooking technology has made tremendous leaps in just the past couple deades. Even today’s most traditional appliances boast multiple cooking modes, self-cleaning options, digital interfaces, and improved insulation. Yet, despite those features, many are moving away from these conventional appliances because they take up too much space and can often be both time and energy hogs. Engineers are creating new cooking systems, including robotic sous chefs, invisible induction cooking countertops, 3-D printing and laser cooking systems, and even all-in-one blending-food processing-mixing-and-cooking appliances, which are challenging the way we think about preparing and heating our meals.
