5 kitchen appliances at CES 2025 that are right out of ‘The Jetsons’

Three days of CES 2025 have acquainted us with a myriad of cool, imaginative tech. From ogling at some of the eeriest AI techs to gasping at the wildest, it won’t be a stretch to say that the future looks promising.

Among several segments, kitchen tech at CES 2025 stood out for being bold, crazy, and innovative. Upgraded with built-in AI capabilities, the products on display are equipped to do everything from assisting your food prep to monitoring it. Here’s a list of the coolest kitchen tech we spotted at CES 2025.

Brisk It smart grill

Barbeque startup Brisk It introduced a smart grill that employs generative AI to automate cooking and create personalised recipes. Wondering what this means? With its dedicated smartphone app, users can scan what’s in their pantry and the grill can tell you everything you can cook!

Moreover, you can also upload food photos from Instagram, and it can tell you just how to cook it. And if none of these appeal to you, you can always hit the app with a hyperspecific “Give me a pasta recipe fit for four people, but one of them is allergic to pine nuts, and others can’t stand spicy food”.

Agari Kitchen smart oven

Imagine an appliance that can scan your food in 3D and read its internal temperature without even touching it – that’s Agari Kitchen’s smart oven for you. The oven uses a sophisticated AI algorithm to perfect your food, and it scans it to know what temperature is right for it.

This smart oven combines steam, pressure cooking, and AI to transform everyday ingredients into professional-quality dishes. A responsive touchscreen on top shows you exactly what the AI has identified inside, while smart sensors measure your food’s exact dimensions to calculate the perfect cooking time.

The result? Meals that are juicier than what you’d get from a pressure cooker or air fryer, all while cooking 30 per cent faster. Think of it as upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone – it’s that big of a leap for your kitchen!

Kirin electric salt spoon

Perhaps 2025’s weirdest (yet the most fascinating) kitchen innovation – a spoon that makes your food taste saltier without adding a single grain of salt. Kirin’s clever piece of tech uses tiny electrical pulses to trick your taste buds into detecting saltiness.

The spoon itself looks more like a small gadget than your average silverware; it sports a chunky handle and a key for four different “saltiness” settings. When you’ve positioned it just right (the spoon’s blue light turns white to let you know), it delivers a mild electrical charge that makes your brain perceive more salt than what’s actually in your food.

The only downside? We’re still waiting for the version that can make our boring weeknight dinners taste like five-star cuisine – but of course, one breakthrough at a time!

Kara Water and Kara Pod

Turning air into water, sounds like a gimmick, right? But Kara Water might just be onto something. The company, which gained inspiration from a beetle gathering moisture from the air, created an appliance that works by pulling in air, removing impurities and using heat exchange to condense it into fresh drinking water.

At CES 2025, the company also showcased the Kara Pod, which is a one-of-its-kind self-refilling coffee machine. The machine uses Kara Water’s Air-To-Water technology and turns humidity in the air into drinking water.

This, combined with a coffee machine, can produce up to 3.2 litres of coffee every 24 hours. Alternatively, the appliance can also supply fresh water using the same mechanism when required. Having an unlimited coffee supply is a problem we don’t mind having in 2025!

LG Signature Smart Instaview microwave

This microwave is not quite like the others, because it comes with its very own 27-inch FHD touchscreen display. Unlike other microwaves, it doesn’t have see-through glass and it instead uses cameras to broadcast it onto the screen in front of you.

According to the brand, this addition is to ensure users don’t have to wait while their food cooks and can instead consume content while they’re at it. Additionally, the display is also great for culinary enthusiasts looking to record their food cooked in timelapse. Bizarre, but if we can have refrigerators with a screen, why should microwaves be an exception?
