Smartphone-Connected Meat Thermometers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The ThermoWorks BlueDOT is Connected via Bluetooth

— June 6, 2018 — Lifestyle
Barbecuing might seem easy on the surface -- all it takes is throwing meat on the grill, after all -- but getting perfectly cooked cuts is actually a precise and labor-intensive process, and the ThermoWorks BlueDOT helps to make that process significantly easier. The meat thermometer connects to consumers' smartphones via Bluetooth, and it can automatically alert them when meat has reached the desired temperature.

So-called grillmasters might like to think that reaching the perfect doneness is a mystical art, but it's really a science. Once meat reaches the desired interior temperature, it needs to be taken off the grill. In the past, that meant constantly tending the barbecue with meat thermometer in hand, but the ThemoWorks BlueDOT eliminates the need to go back and forth.
Trend Themes
1. Connected Grill Accessories - Bluetooth-enabled devices are transforming the traditional barbecuing experience by bringing real-time tracking of meat temperature.
2. Smartphone-enabled Food Monitoring - Wireless and app-enabled devices are revolutionizing kitchen processes making cooking incredibly precise.
3. AI-driven Cooking Tools - Using machine learning and AI models, smart cooking devices are making food preparation more convenient and easy.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchen Appliances - The integration of IoT-based smart devices is revolutionizing the culinary world, enabling consumers to prepare their meals using fewer gadgets and tools.
2. Foodservice - Connected grill accessories are helping restaurants and food outlets to optimize their operations and serve quality food with minimal supervision.
3. Electronics Retail - The demand for smart and connected cooking devices is increasing , providing potential growth opportunities for electronics retailers to promote and sell such products.
