Voice Commanded Barbecues

Lynx Grills Debuted its New Smart Grill at CES 2014

— January 8, 2014 — Tech
Lynx Grills just gave us the Holy Grail of cookware with its new concept Lynx Smart Grill. When you specialize in making grills, you have to constantly re-invent and refine your product and its new offering definitely covers both of those bases.

The Smart Grill is connected to WiFi and allows the user to cook their food to their exact specifications simply by talking to it. Upon initial use, the user is asked a few questions and the grill figures out the best way to cook your food. It even figures out all the little things like cook time and what should go where for maximum satisfaction.

The other interesting thing is that the Lynx Smart Grill remembers the way you cooked your food before and by simply asking it to cook it that way again, you can save yourself the hassle of having to do it yourself. The grill also shuts off after 30 minutes of not hearing any instruction so the less attentive of us needn't worry about their house burning down.
