# Computerized Cooking Classes The Smartchef is a Techie's Kitchen Dream By Jessica Marcel | Published 2009-09-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-smartchef-kitchen References: [dornob](http://dornob.com/culinary-computerization-cool-kitchen-computer-design/) & [kaijustudios](http://www.kaijustudios.com/ourwork_projects.asp?projectID=23&picture=1) Kuija Studios has presented their new concept, the Smartchef, as the [future of home cooking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-sous-chef). The design incorporates a touchscreen, a cutting board, and food scale and measure. While only a concept, Kuija is offering a cutting edge (pun intended) advance in the way technology can aid in the kitchen. The touchscreen is removable (to be used in other parts of the house as well) and would be able to provide [recipes, nutritional information](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easychef), even recommendations and warnings about the ingredients and meal. The technology isn’t quite here yet to manage this. The idea of having a touchscreen right next to raw wet food and sharp objects isn’t perfect, but we can definitely see this taking off once science matches demand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Computerized Cooking Classes:** Opportunity for incorporating touchscreens and smart technology into cooking appliances to enhance the cooking experience. - **Smart Kitchen Appliances:** Opportunity for developing innovative kitchen appliances that integrate touchscreens, cutting boards, and food scales to offer a seamless cooking experience. - **Personalized Recipe Recommendations:** Opportunity for creating smart cooking devices that can provide personalized recipe suggestions based on nutritional needs and dietary preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Appliances:** Opportunity for appliance manufacturers to develop smart kitchen devices that incorporate touchscreens and assist in meal preparation. - **Food Tech:** Opportunity for food technology companies to create innovative solutions for home cooking that combine technology and culinary expertise. - **Digital Health:** Opportunity for digital health companies to create cooking devices that provide nutritional information and health recommendations to promote healthier lifestyles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Enabled Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermomix-tm7.md) - [Smart Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versaware.md) - [App-Paired Cooktop Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tramontina-guru.md) - [Smart Kitchen Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycook-next.md) - [AI Smart Cooking Pan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-smart-cooking-pan.md) - [Hybrid Heating Countertop Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-cooker.md) - [Automated Cooking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nosh-robot-cooker.md) - [Intelligent Preparation Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4t7-smart-chopping-board.md) - [Technological Kitchen Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-coit.md)
