Gourmia heads to CES with a new smart air fryer, multicooker, and coffee maker

If you're looking to give your kitchen counter a makeover this year, look no further than Gourmia's lineup at CES 2019. The New York-based company has a new smart air fryer, multicooker, and coffee maker.

If you’re planning to give your kitchen counter appliances an upgrade, look no further than the lineup of devices Gourmia is bringing to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week. The company is rolling out three smart kitchen appliances that are compatible with popular A.I. voice assistants and offer mobile app compatibility so you can control them even when you’re away from home.

First up is Gourmia’s all-new seven-quart digital air fryer. The all-in-one fryer, rotisserie, and dehydrator cuts down on the fat associated with typical fryers while providing the same delicious crispy texture of traditonally fried food. It features 10 different presets to quickly cook up your favorite meals and RadiVection 360-degree technology that guarantees your food will be cooked all the way through. The company claims it’s 30 percent faster than a standard oven and it includes accessories to help in the cooking process.

If you’re looking for some more cooking options, then Gourmia’s 11-in-one Deluxe Multicooker likely has what you need. It features a 6.5-quart pot that is perfect for everything from chili to chicken to yogurt. The cooker has a simple display panel with plenty of presets and adjustable controls so you can get the perfect setup for your meal. It comes with a recipe book to get you started down the path of home-cooked meals.

Finally, if you need something to wash down those meals or get you up in the morning, you can try out Gourmia’s 10-Cup Coffee Maker and Grinder. The built-in grinder makes it easy to ground up your favorite beans and easily transfer them over to the coffee maker. With a programmable timer, LED display, and the ability to keep your coffee warm for 30 minutes, it’s a good option to keep your day going.

All of Gourmia’s new products connect with the company’s mobile kitchen app Mia. The app, which is available through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, allows you to program the appliances even when you’re away from home. The apps also work with Amazon’s Alexa and the Google Assistant so you can set up your cooking preferences using voice commands. Gourmia’s new appliances expand on the company’s selection of internet-connected devices introduced earlier this year.

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
