Smart Spoon

How can your spoon taste your food for you?

To do this, you need an intelligent spoon. This handy gadget, developed by two MIT students in 2005, uses its sensors to measure the different qualities in your food as it in the cooking process. Using its aluminum, gold, and zinc sensors, which you can see through its clear exterior, the spoon measures the foods' temperature, viscosity, salinity, and acidity. You can then hook it up to your computer and your intelligent spoon can then tell you exactly what you need to add to your concoction. One of the purposes for this crazy invention could be to help clumsy or new cooks learn in the kitchen and start to feel comfortable cooking without their spoon. Although it might be awhile before this spoon ends up in stores, you could always settle for a microwave sensor smart spoon, that changes color when the food is hot enough.
