I cook a ton, and I thought I would hate this. Having tested Pantelligent from very early alpha, though, I was really surprised.
I thought it would be "cook-by-number" and for many people that's exactly what they need and exactly what they want.
For me, "cook-by-number" would drive me crazy, since I like being in the driver's seat, so to speak. Over time, learning the temperatures of my pan and being able to have instant access to it in 'Freestyle' mode blew me away. No more infrared thermometers == mind blown.
Also, the record feature is stupendous - I finally get that dish /just right/, and I never have to worry about it again. I have recorded the temperatures, the times, and everything so I can repeat it the same way every time.
Seriously though, try the salmon. It will blow you away. You've never had salmon this good.
- kolev 12y agoThis is a gross oversimplification of quality cooking. For amateurs, this might be great... but it will keep them amateurs as they won't be able to develop the chef skills. My wife always cooks perfect salmon without any gadgets - there are other low-tech ways to know when it's done.
- compumike 12y agoYou may mean something broader by "quality cooking". In the more specific sense of "cooking" being the controlled addition of heat to ingredients, Pantelligent solves that perfectly by enabling time and temperature control. It's still up to you to compose the meal, procure good ingredients, etc. Pantelligent is a tool, and a powerful one.
- baldeagle 12y agoCan there be a hook on the end to hang it. Otherwise, looks like a bang up job. Congrats.
- kolev 12y agoWell, it solves a problem (for some), but unsolves another - adds Teflon that's been out of my household for over 10 years! And I'm sure it's not just me, because all stores are full of alternative coatings.
