Seller: “This machine is cut in half the work at home!”
Housewife: “In this case, take two!”
An old joke, but as the 21st century develops, it becomes more than ever. Compared to previous generations, people today are in the kitchen easier and even fun. The gadget competitors that valuable space for the counters in the kitchen, across the country are ready to slice, dice, peel, blend, bake and broil, so that the grandparents would have surprised by their owners.
A century ago, the idea of kitchen appliances simply do not exist. Were hand-operated vacuum, and many houses had only a refrigerator, a tub and a sink with cold water, usually operated by a pump. Often the pump outside the back of the house, or on the road to common usage. With the advent of electricity, the idea of labor-saving devices slowly seized. Fifty years later, replaced by refrigerators refrigerators, which were not delivered under the ice. Toasters became one of the first devices to exercise in any part of the power house. A first counter top machine seen in many homes was the electric can opener. At that time, seen as a frivolous novelty, today it is difficult to imagine, open cans without realizing it (especially since no one, where the old crank opening). Heels was the coffeemaker, taking over the coffee machine, which used to sit on a burner of the stove. And their close relatives, the kettle. Machines like the blender were developed for commercial use, and immediately found their way into domestic service.
The next major advance in the kitchen is the microwave technology in 1970. It was what was the living room and kitchen on the video recorder – a revolutionary in itself, can now be seen as the beginning of a wave of gadgets in a row next to the sink. Shortly after, the market exploded with toaster, sandwich grills, pasta makers, producers of ice cream, yogurt makers and the like. This has culminated with the advent of the food processor. Seen as a complement to the computer at home (also known as the “word”, since no one could any other use for a computer in the days before the Web) to think that joining the king of the bar blender, grater, Stampfer, planes, cubes and a few other things in one package.
Following on from the food processor was the bread machine. When people are longing for a healthier, more natural diet, something that mix, knead and bake a staple food like bread was launched as a new way of thinking about what we eat, saw. Unfortunately, while many homes have bread machines today, few actually receive further use. The bread pans are smaller than commercially sold loaves, which is a mixture of bread much more expensive, the machine cleaning after each loaf, and nobody really wants no more to cut the bread into slices. So not every step forward has been fully accepted by the masses.
The future of kitchen appliances, however, sees brighter than ever. In a world where the can opener look next to the picturesque modern No-Stick Grill, the next big revolution will be the interconnection of the intranet, all these devices in a home. By the end of this century, most western kitchens may be a network of activities, as devices share information between themselves, larger equipment such as the oven and fridge, and even on the Internet. N. doubt new machines introduced, some bizarre hybrids of what we already have some as unknown to us as a microwave would have been in 1907. Our grandchildren will laugh themselves as they reflect all the efforts we make in our toast with butter or mix the coffee each morning. Are you ready for the kitchen of the future?
