"When you want to cook something using Elecrolux's "Heart of the Home," you simply press down on the surface, and it creates a hole. You can make the hole bigger or smaller by pressing down on a larger or smaller area.

Then you place your ingredients right into the hole you created. No pots and pans needed. The area heats up with a few touches from your fingers.

And it gets better. When you put the food onto the surface, Heart of the Home analyzes the ingredients and offers recipe suggestions."


wow... of course I'll never have one - this won't be available for years...

1. Now that is a weird thing

It reminds me of the CSI computer boards or the weather boards on CNN. Just seems so odd.

2. Gads! I certainly hope not!

3. Would be interesting to see how it works when making soup.

4. Now that's fascinating...

and, yeah, we'll probably never see it.

(Or, I won't be able to afford it-- it's Electrolux, after all)

5. soup... boiling pasta... braising...

they forgot wet stuff!

Someone's had fun imagining, but they should have included a real cook in the team.

6. I would love to play with one of those. I kid you not, so much of new technology sounds

like it had it's inspiration in the field of science fiction. This, however, sounds more like something you would have seen on the Jetsons.
