Connected worktops in its kitchen to use household appliances without having to connect it

The Seattle Connected Kitchen Fair has just closed its doors in June. Among the trends, there is a new generation of work plans capable of transmitting electricity. The interest is to be able to use your small wireless appliances, that is to say without having to connect anything.

Imagine that a kettle placed on the worktop lights up on its own. The water starts to heat while nothing is connected. Even stronger, if you remove the kettle and put a frying pan instead, it will also be heating up. All this, without any plaque and totally wireless! This is what the Ki Cordless Kitchen standard allows. Work plans capable of fueling the devices that are placed on it, with specific locations. It works by induction, such as a wireless phone charger or electric toothbrush. The mechanism is, in this case, integrated directly into the work plan.

The pan manages to cook foods without plates because the bottom of the latter is an induction mini-plaque. There are pimples on the handle. And she sets out as soon as she is placed on one of the famous locations. Everything is rather well secured. There is no risk of burning or swept away if you pass your hand or if you put water on it, for example.

The first devices are starting to be marketed by Haier, Philips and Samsung. This will allow you to have really design kitchens, without anything lying around. We keep his devices in the closet. We only take them out when we need them. More nasty taken or hanging threads.

It will first be necessary to change the work plan,, A serious handicap, because technology is still quite expensive. It takes 1000 € in addition to the price of the work plan. This is why manufacturers like Kitchenery offer an intermediate option: a mixer or a wireless kettle supplied this time by the induction plate. We put them on the plate and they set off. It is not as elegant as they can place them anywhere on the worktop. But this will still avoid dragging threads.
