PantryChic is a Bluetooth-enabled ingredient dispenser that measures out and releases ingredients so that you never have to break out your measuring cup and worry too much about getting the proportions right.
The PantryChic is fitted with a digital scale that is pre-programmed up to 50 different ingredients, and is capable of converting volumes to weight so you don't have to. Lazy bakers will appreciate this device so much because it literally doesn't even require them to push any buttons. Users can simply log onto the companion PantryChic app on their smartphones; this allows the PantryChic device to literally 'see' what recipe you're using. The machine then figures out how much of each ingredient you need, before dispensing the appropriate ingredient.
PantryChic is an interesting example of how the Internet of Things can be applied to the kitchen.
