Food delivery box Fresh Portal

[bdjakaria76]

While companies like Yale have been making smart delivery boxes for some time, there are no affordable temperature-controlled boxes yet. We can predict that 2022 will see more projects similar to the Walmart and HomeValet pilots, as well as integrations with third-party delivery services.

Steam cooking
Although this method has been used by professionals for a long time, it has never been popular in everyday life. However, this may change in 2022.

The trend began to gain popularity in 2020, when Anova began phone number list shipping its ovens. At CES this year, LG introduced a new microwave with a steam function. In addition, meal delivery startup Tovala launched an active advertising campaign.

This technology is developing in the same way as sous vide cooking, a professional method that is gaining popularity among amateurs. But it is more attractive and accessible.

Cooking with augmented reality tools
Since Thermomix pioneered guided cooking with the TM5 and TM6, a number of companies have been developing technologies to help consumers cook. Over the past few years, this functionality has appeared in voice assistants from TinyChef and Amazon, software and hardware vendors like Hestan, and others.



There are also more futuristic concepts - for example, the development of the SKS 2020, which tracks the direction of human gaze.

But the biggest breakthrough in this direction may come in the form of augmented reality. Last fall, Snap released an app for scanning food that shows additional information on a smartphone. Last month, it introduced a pair of AR glasses that greatly expands the capabilities of the non-professional cook.
