Smart Measuring Cup Might Encourage me to Cook
Cool gadgets are often the "gimmick" necessary to get someone to do something they normally avoid. A GPS might encourage someone to exercise, or an Amazon Kindle might help people read. The Smart Measuring Cup might just be the tool needed to help me cook, and that would make my wife very happy.
The measuring cup, going into production by kitchen gadget company Talylor, has a backlit LCD screen on the handle. The display lets you know just how much fluid you have, and can even be programmed for specific recipes. The device also has an alarm that will sound when you have filled it to the desired amount. I can see a device like this working for two reasons: it would make cooking cool, and it would make measuring dummy-proof. In other words, it might encourage me to cook. Of course it will be dishwasher safe, and it should be relatively rugged to stand up to kitchen abuse.
The Taylor Smart Measuring cup should be available before the end of the year. Hopefully, it will be the perfect Christmas present for the geeky cook in your life.
