We’ll do the research and the grunt work so you don’t have to!  

We’ve recently reported on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is stirring things up in the kitchen, with smart cooking appliances, meal-planning apps and, coming soon, even robots. It’s all in the service of greater Autonomy (one of the 7A’s of SuperAging).

As Technology continues to evolve, smart cooking appliances have become valuable tools in the kitchen, especially for older adults who wish to maintain their independence and stay in their homes as they age. These devices offer convenience, ease of use, and importantly, improved safety.

Below, we’ve curated a list of highly ranked AI-powered cooking appliances available on Amazon.com. While some of them may seem a bit of a splurge, keep in mind that they are mostly multi-purpose, meaning you’ll need fewer appliances, and at the same time save on valuable counter and cabinet space. Some are voice-activated, hands-free, and can be easily connected to your devices. And even better, many of these items are now on sale! Let’s get cooking …

Price: $399.00 (Currently on sale for $199.99)

If you’re into sous-vide cooking (sealing a protein like chicken or steak – along with its marinade or sauce –  into a vacuum sealed bag and then cooking in temperature-controlled water), this smart device simplifies what was once the purview of elegant restaurants for the home cook. The Anova Precision Cooker Pro connects to your phone via Wi-Fi, letting you start, stop, and monitor your cooking from anywhere.

Amazon reviewer: “This brings a whole new way of cooking. Tried it with the egg, the fish, the lamp chops, and the chicken. Everything comes up perfect without the need to constantly monitor it. Nothing gets over-done even if you forgot about it and leave it in for beyond the desired time. The remote control / monitoring via the app is another very useful feature. The unit shows temperatures in the tenth digit and you can tell how accurately the unit is controlling it. This thing basically opened a new world of cooking…”

Amazon reviewer: “Literally life changing. No more heating up the place with the oven in the summer, no more waiting forever for something small to be cooked in the oven, no more stove top hamburgers due to not having a grill, and no more guessing with overcooked or undercooked meats. This literally does it all. …The hype is real. The air fryer makes chicken nuggets and everything else super crunchy and tastes like it was fried, even my oven never could crisp like this. The grill cooks veggies, meats, fish, etc. perfectly and the thermometer cooks it to your liking (no more cutting open steaks and chicken to check). Chef-quality results in minutes…”
