Touchless and Motion-Activated Sink Faucets
Say goodbye to germs and hello to a hygiene friendly option of washing your hands. Touchless sink faucets allow you to clean pots and pans, dishes, and your hands with the touch of your arm or elbow. To take it a step further, newer versions of a motion-activated sink faucet have voice-activated technology allowing a completely touch-free experience. The touchless sink faucets also will dispense a certain amount of water to your liking. For those looking to keep your home as sterile as possible right now, knowing that your faucet can be one of the dirtiest spots in the house, this is the kind of product you need.
Air Fryer
No longer is the Instant Pot the talk of the town. Quite possibly the most trending kitchen gadget over the past year or so is the air fryer. The air fryer essentially is a convection oven that cooks your food faster using hot air in a compact space – no oil or oven mitt necessary. You can cook virtually anything in an air fryer, from pizza to salmon, to eggs, although fries tend to be the most commonly cooked item in the gadget. The only downside to an air fryer is that it is compact. You can buy larger fryers on the market, but overall it’s not equipped to handle family-sized meals at one time.
Temperature-Controlled Mug
We’ve all had or heard of stainless steel drinkware, but the new kid on the block is the technology-savvy temperature-controlled mug. As most of us are at home on a day-to-day basis, there’s a good chance you find yourself walking over to the coffee station in your multiple times a day. There’s an even bigger chance that you typically have to re-heat your coffee midway through the day or pour yourself a new cup. Ember created the world’s first temperature-controlled mug to combat this issue and allows you to control the exact temperature of your coffee from your phone.
