I don’t know about the other ladies out there, but I get real tired of asking the man of the house to open jars for me. I tried several different gimmicks to open them such as holding under hot water, holding it with a towel, and trying all kinds of gadgets to open them and nothing worked. I always wondered when someone would come up with a gadget that would help us open up these stubborn jars short of dynamite.

Well, Black and Decker finally heard our pleas and created an electric jar opener. Now, you can open any type of jar with only one hand and a touch of a button to open every lid in your house. No more yelling to your husband, “Honey, would you please open this for me?” You can now be just a bit more independent and not have to rely on a strong man to open jars, unless you just want him to feel macho.

How many of us would love to have a trashcan that automatically opens when you need it. With the touchless trashcan you will never have to touch that dirty trashcan again and can throw away your eggshells and go right back to cooking.

I am a fanatic when it comes to washing my hands while I am cooking and when I have to keep touching the trashcan to throw things away that always doubles the time I spend washing my hands. With the touchless trashcan, I do not have to wash my hands quite as often as before.

The touchless trashcan has a built in artificial intelligent smart chip that knows the exact time to open and close so you never have to touch that dirty trash can again until it is full or time to take it out. It uses an invisible harmless infrared beam that when you hold your hand or trash within 6 inches of the lid and it will open up so you can discard the waste. It closes within 3 seconds of the time that you move your hand away.

The final product that I’ll be covering in IBM’s Smart Kitchen is their Super Fridge. I’m not sure the actual name that IBM gave this fridge, but Super Fridge is just the nickname I use to describe it, because to be honest I think it could kick the crap out of my refrigerator.

The Super Fridge has a list that tells you exactly what is inside your refrigerator. There is a little display monitor where you can check the inventory in your refrigerator. IBM states this saves you time. I have to disagree. I mean, sure you could click through the little menu and select meat then hot dogs and see that there are exactly 3 franks left. I’m guessing this would take about 5.8 seconds. There’s no actual benchmark for this. It’s just a number I made up. Being the investigative reporter I am, I decided to time how long it would take me to actually open up my fridge, open up the meat compartment, look at what’s in there, and close the door, using a stopwatch.
