We are excited to announce our recently acquired smart-technology cooking devices! The Hestan Cue is a “smart” cooking system, meaning that its component parts (an induction burner, pan, and app) use Bluetooth technology to communicate with one another. Coupled with embedded sensors, this technology can read and regulate the temperature of your burner in real time, every step of the recipe, to give you steak with a perfect sear and juicy center, or perfectly tender glazed beets. All the while, the app guides you through culinary techniques (and pro tips) with video instruction.
The pan has built-in intelligence that can “feel the heat.” There is Bluetooth technology in the handle that sends temperature readings to the Cue app. The app and the cookware can communicate with each other to make micro-adjustments throughout the cooking process.
Cooking and eating are often top priorities for individuals to feel independent and with the use of these smart cooking devices this could make this, at times, difficult task much more accessible and realistic for users of many abilities / disabilities.
