Bluetooth Baking Dispensers

The PantryChic Ingredient Dispenser is Perfect For Lazy Bakers

— August 1, 2014 — Lifestyle
PantryChic is a Bluetooth-enabled ingredient dispenser that measures out and releases ingredients so that you never have to break out your measuring cup and worry too much about getting the proportions right.

The PantryChic is fitted with a digital scale that is pre-programmed up to 50 different ingredients, and is capable of converting volumes to weight so you don't have to. Lazy bakers will appreciate this device so much because it literally doesn't even require them to push any buttons. Users can simply log onto the companion PantryChic app on their smartphones; this allows the PantryChic device to literally 'see' what recipe you're using. The machine then figures out how much of each ingredient you need, before dispensing the appropriate ingredient.

PantryChic is an interesting example of how the Internet of Things can be applied to the kitchen.

Trend Themes
1. Bluetooth-enabled Kitchen Appliances - Companies can create more automation in the kitchen by adding Bluetooth-enabled smart features to traditional appliances like ovens or refrigerators.

3. Digitized Measuring and Dispensing - More companies can explore digitizing traditional kitchen tasks like measuring and dispensing ingredients, creating more convenience and less room for human error.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - Home appliance manufacturers can incorporate smart technology, like the PantryChic, into their appliances to create a more complete ecosystem of interconnected home devices.
2. Food and Beverage - Food and beverage companies can take advantage of digitized measuring and dispensing technology to create more efficient and accurate food manufacturing and preparation processes.
3. Technology - Tech startups can explore the application of IoT technology to the kitchen, harnessing digitization and automation to bring the kitchen into the 21st century.
