Hi-tech spoon
May 28th, 2008 | 
What a weird but hi-tech spoon. A spoon who have sensors connected to the computer to tell you the properties of the food. I think this spoon is made for people who doesn’t enjoy tasting their food and who doesn’t know how to cook.
Connie Cheng and Leonardo Bonanni’s Intelligent spoon – “This project aims to introduce computing into traditional culinary utensils. It seeks to provide information, in an integrated manner, about any food the spoon is in contact with, and to offer suggestions to improve the food. The spoon is equipped with sensors that measure temperature, acidity, salinity, and viscosity, and is connected to a computer via a cable. The sensors evaluate the different properties of the food, and send them to the computer for further processing. Apart from consolidating measurements that are normally done by an array of equipments into a single spoon, the information obtained can be used to advise the users what their next step should be; for example, it tells the user if there is not enough salt in the brine prepared to make pickles.
But for someone who likes to taste their food while cooking or eating, I think I’ll pass. I enjoy pleasuring my palate in tasting my food. But I’d say this is too intelligent for a spoon. But hey, if they can invent something else equipped with the same specs, then it will revolutionized many things. I wonder if this will fit my sexy and small mouth though, this looks like a space station. I still like my wooden spoon. lol
