kitchen island ideas
so we're really interested in health andwell-being in the kitchen and we know that we can help people live ahealthier life through helping them eat better. we have a relationship with lake nona,a developer in florida, and they are building what's called an intelligent home. it'skind of a laboratory where they're bringing a lot of folks, a lot ofcompanies, that are interested in health and wellness. this particular demo we're going to take down there and gather some feedback. the island is really set up to walkpeople step-by-step through the cooking process. i'm to the point where even when you seta skillet or pan on the island, it can recognize that skillet. when you hit
step one in the recipe, it will adjusttemperature and set a timer automatically. so if you're a novice cook,it kind of walks you through that process and makes it very easy to createa healthy meal. there's also a planning demo thatallows them to plan a week of healthy meals. one of the things we learned isthat when people are making meals, they like to get the whole family involved andto teach the kids and allow the kids to participate. there's a guide in this particular demoto allow the kids to help learn how to chop broccoli and do other things in thekitchen in a very safe way. the kitchen is really the heart of thehome and the island is in many ways the
hub of the kitchen. so within this island demo, there's acouple different things going on. the cook can prepare meals on one side, but often kids and family members are sitting at the island on the other side. so there are different health items thatmight pop up - whether it's reminders to take medications, whether it's reminders around certain issues in air quality, pollen counts, even reminders to you know attend a yoga class. on the kind offamily side of the island, there are
those reminders to pop up to help people be healthy. this island's really a learning tool and we're going to gather some feedback on some of these ideas and some of this data andsome learnings might apply to our connected applications or even thingslike smart cooktops. so we don't imagine that we'll get into the island businessas an appliance company. we may, but we don't imagine we'll go there, but some of these ideas and notions might wind up in some of our other products.
