What’s New in Poconos Kitchens?

Posted by John Holahan on Jan 15, 2016 7:00:00 AM

Whats-new-in-Poconos-kitchens_.jpgThere’s no doubt that the way we use our kitchens has changed pretty dramatically over the years. Some of the tasks we perform in the kitchen, however, have remained. The kitchen may have become the social center for our homes, but it’s still the place where we prepare our meals.

And yet there have been changes in how we handle food preparation. Here’s a look at a few new twists on some of those more traditional kitchen-related functions!

An Interactive Refrigerator

Keeping things cool is still an important function for the kitchen fridge, but now there are high-tech appliances (from LG for instance) that enable you to scan your grocery store receipt so that your refrigerator can keep inventory—and even warn you of items about to expire. You can even order online via the fridge's LCD display screen.

A Smart Oven

If you’re on the go a lot and want to keep an eye on what’s in the oven LG's smart oven lets you do that. You can monitor and even control your oven’s temperature from anywhere with your smartphone. Or if you’re running late and want to preheat the oven (put can’t remember what temperature you need) you can choose a recipe from your oven's recipe bank and it will automatically preheat to the correct temperature.

Smarter Indoor Grilling

Forget those indoor grills from last century. The Palate Smart Grill will cook virtually any food to perfection—taking into consideration weight, composition, and whether you want your meat rare, medium, or well done. And you can control it from an iPhone app.

Scaling Up

Maybe it’s time to upgrade your kitchen with an easy-to-use kitchen baking scale that walks you through recipes via an iPad app. Choose your recipe and then place a bowl on the Bluetooth-connected scale. Then add each ingredient until the app says you’ve added enough. Then follow the instructions to create the perfect cake, cookies or whatever else you want.

Of course, great appliances and gadgets need a great kitchen! We offer more than a dozen floor plans from which you can choose the house and kitchen of your dreams. And if the plan you like doesn’t match your exact expectations we can alter, adjust, or redesign the floor plan to perfectly suit your needs!
