A high-tech frying pan could save you from burning your next meal, said J.D. Harrison at The Washington Post. New York City–based brother-sister duo Rahul and Prachi Baxi recently unveiled a Bluetooth-enabled frying pan called SmartyPans, which can connect to recipe apps and provide step-by-step cooking instructions for even the least kitchen-savvy cooks.
The pan "warns you if you need to adjust the temperature," Prachi says, and it uses built-in sensors to track the weight and temperature of your dish's ingredients. The pan's companion app uses that information to "show you caloric information in real time," and the data can then be logged in your choice of nutritional tracking apps, such as MyFitnessPal, to track your calorie and nutrient intake. "It's like GPS for cooking," Rahul says.
