Gabe: Let's dive into my list of best Smart Kitchen products beginning with the Amazon
Echo Show 5 which gives you a plethora of entertainment and productivity options while
fitting nicely on your kitchen countertop.
The Amazon Echo Show 5 gives you the ability to be maximally entertained while in your
kitchen.
If you want to set it up with various streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and HBO,
you can watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm" as you're washing your dishes or cutting up your vegetables
or just generally paxing around your kitchen.
If music is more of your thing, you can also integrate it with various streaming music
services like Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify.
Of course, the primary purpose in most people's kitchen is to actually cook and the Amazon
Echo Show 5 is really helpful in that endeavor.
You can of course convert measurements because who really knows how many ounces go to a cup
or anything of that nature off the top of their head.
You can set timers for I need to get that out in 10 minutes or it's going to burn and
you can even use it to find new recipes.
There are a number of app recipes on Amazon Echo Show 5, like all recipes and you can
actually put in what you have and find something that you can cook with it.
I always find myself with two or three very random vegetables or food products and I say,
"Hey I don't want these to go bad.
What can I do with them?"
The Amazon Echo Show 5 comes to rescue and I make random soups and things of that nature.
I find it to be a really useful element of Amazon Echo Show 5.
The Amazon Echo Show 5 is powered by that Amazon Virtual Assistant at Amazon Smart Platform.
I can just use my voice to add things to my cart.
If I'm needing a new air fryer or egg beater, I can add it to my cart just using my voice
and the Amazon Echo Show 5 display.
If I want to add actual food, I can do so in the Amazon marketplace or in the whole
foods app which allows me to add all those elements to my cart so I can easily order
them at my convenience.
You can see why the Amazon Echo Show 5 has become an essential part of my Smart Kitchen
experience.

All right, let's get back to the video.

Gabe: Next on our list of best Smart Kitchen products is the Toshiba Smart Microwave and
this helps you get that perfect first bite that's just the right temperature.
It can help you take all the guesswork out of reheating your food or even cooking your
food.
The Smart functionality of the Toshiba Smart Microwave lies in its steam sensor capability.
It has six auto menus that allow you to cook or reheat something and it will basically
check the humidity, temperature, and it add time if necessary to get that nice fully cooked
feeling whenever you're warming something up.
I have to note that it has tremendous capacity as your microwave.
It's a huge microwave.
It has 1.2 cubic feet available.
That means, I could almost put an entire turkey in there though I don't recommend it for next
Thanksgiving.
The Toshiba Smart Microwave is huge, in terms of capacity, but it's also really powerful
with 1,100 Watts.
You can actually cook and defrost things with the ease.
Remember when you were a kid and your mom will call you and say, "Take the chicken out
of the freezer.
You've got another defrost.
I can make dinner for everyone tonight."
You and a little brothers were playing Super Nintendo and you were on the boss, so you
forgot to actually take the chicken out, then you got home and you're on a lot of trouble
because no one could eat dinner.
You don't have to worry about that with the Toshiba Smart Microwave.
It has that supreme power allowing for things to defrost like that and no one gets in trouble.
Now that we've listened to those smart functions with the Toshiba Smart Microwave, you also
get an ECO mode.
It uses 50 percent less power when in standby which is great for the environment and your
electricity bill.
If you want to turn off the sound, you're tired of the beeping and the different buzzing
that happens with your microwave, you can do so which is really lucky.
You can see why the Toshiba Smart Microwave has become a fundamental part of my Smart
Kitchen.

Gabe: Next in our best Smart Kitchen products list is the Drop Connected Kitchen Scale.
I'm someone who has to comply with the recipe, I don't have a natural gift for cooking and
I even read somewhere recently that said this, "Baking is not a game.
Cooking is not a game.
You need to be precise with what you're doing and actually use the recipe."
If you can remember who said that quote, please drop the quote and author in the comments
below.
The point is the Drop Connected Scale really helps you to be that precise when cooking
up your next meal.
Using the Drop Connected Scale is really easy.
It connects directly to the drop recipe mobile application, you put some food or ingredient
on there and you know exactly how much of that ingredient you have instantaneously right
there on your mobile device.
You can actually use that to actually look up new recipes with that amount right there
with the hundreds of recipes found in the drop recipes mobile application.
With the Drop Connected Kitchen Scale, you can actually really easily scale any recipe
that you decide to use.
If you find that you're missing an ingredient, it will even provide substitutions for you.
Finally, if you decide, you know what?
I don't want to do a ton of dishes tonight, it even provides you with single-bowl recipes
which is really useful.
What's great about the Drop Connected Kitchen Scale is that that app is instantaneous connected
to the scale.
You don't have to go back and forth between the two devices.
As soon as you put some food onto the Kitchen Scale, you'll see exactly how much it weighs
right down your iPhone which is really useful.
When it comes to actually reliability, you're not going to have that issue because it has
a battery included that's going to last for one year.
It's all Bluetooth connected, so you're ready to go as soon as you're ready to cook with
your Drop Connected Kitchen Scale.

Gabe: Next item on our list is the NutriChef EasyBBQ Smart Thermometer which allows you
to use the probes and thermometer in conjunction with your mobile device to know exactly how
hot or cold whatever you're cooking happens to be.
Growing up, my grandfather always grilled in summer, winter, spring, fall.
This is south.
You understand what it is.
He always makes sure that I had to get to the right temperature not because it's what
makes it taste which of course it is, but also because you want to make sure people
don't get sick from your food.
He would really benefit actually now from the NutriChef BBQ Thermometer because it actually
tells you not only the real time stats on your temperatures for the different meats
you're cooking, but has presets.
If you're cooking lamb or beef or pork or what have you, it says, hey, if you want to
be rare or medium rare, this is when you need to actually take it out and you can set that
preset so you'd know exactly when it hits that temperature.
You get smart notifications from the thermometer itself directly on your mobile device.
Fortunately, it lasts for a pretty significant range.
In New York, it's hard to get 200 feet away from anything or anybody, but you can be 200
feet away as long as you're outdoors and your phone will still get those Bluetooth notifications
on how hot your food is getting.
If you're indoors, it'll work for about 100 feet.
When it comes to the hotness of the device itself, it's not something to worry about.
The probe device can handle up to 416 degrees Fahrenheit.
You can basically leave it inside of any meat and you'll be fine.
The stainless steel cable wire can handle up to 716 degrees Fahrenheit.
As long as you're not cooking by blow torch, you should be all right.
Even without the mobile application, the thermometer does have a digital display.
It can tell you how nice and delicious your food is getting and how hot it is in both
Fahrenheit and Celsius, nothing to worry about for those of you in my international audience.

Gabe: The final item on our best Smart Kitchen product list is this Simplehuman Soap Dispenser.
The Simplehuman Soap Dispenser dispenses with that necessity to actually touch something
to wash your hands which I absolutely love.
It has a sensor that dispenses a specific amount of soap depending on where you put
your hand underneath the nozzle.
If you put your hand close to the nozzle, it'll dispense a little bit of soap.
If you put it further down, it would give you a lot of soap so you can make sure to
get all that grime off of your hands.
When it comes to using the Simplehuman Soap Dispenser is actually really easy to fill
it up with that simple human soap.
You just pop this top off and you pour it in.
I actually really like that Simplehuman branded soap because it's lavender scented, It is
vitamin E enriched, something I didn't even know I needed with my soap dispenser.
On top of that, it's IP67 rated, so you don't have to worry about messing up with a ton
of water around or anything of that nature.
Finally, it's really easy to charge.
It has really sweet magnetic charger.
Once you charge it for a few hours, it'll last for about three months.
[music]
Gabe: All right, we've gone over a lot in our best Smart Kitchen products video.
I want to tie a bow on this and provide you with a brief recap on each of the products
that we looked at today.
We started out today going over the Amazon Echo Show 5.
It gives you maximum entertainment options with this integrations with various streaming
services be it music or television.
It also lets you have step by step instructions read out to you from applications like allrecipes.com.
The Toshiba Smart Microwave has a ton of capacity, precisely 1.2 cubic feet and can make sure
you're free to get heated, reheated, and even defrost it with its smart sensor capabilities.
The Drop Connected Smart Scale helps you to be precise with your cooking.
It also provides you with a number of ingredients and even ingredients substitutions to make
sure you're on point with your recipes of which it provides hundreds.
The NutriChef EasyBBQ Thermometer allows you to connect to your food in the best way.
You will know when your dish is ready with push notifications.
It can even sound to let you know when to turn your food.
The Simplehuman Soap Dispenser is hands free and the nozzle actually works with a smart
sensor to ensure that you get just the amount of soap that you need.
