Cooking tonight? Alexa knows 60,000 recipies that she can teach you how to make
Thanks to television chefs and their immensely popular televised competition shows (we're looking at you, Gordon Ramsay), cooking has never been so popular. With NFL ratings on the decline, watching someone don a chef's attire and cook a meal from scratch has become a highly rated spectator sport. Year after year FOX renews shows like Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef and Masterchef Junior. Parents love this trend. Instead of their kid risking a concussion on the gridiron, more and more children are spending time in the kitchen.
Thanks to this new addition to Alexa's capabilities, Echo and Echo Dot users can ask Alexa what yummy dish can be made using the ingredients they have at home. Users can also ask Alexa to find a quick meal to make, and receive help on measurements. And since cooking requires a chef's hands to get dirty, those toiling in the kitchen will appreciate the hands-free voice activation employed by the two Amazon Echo devices. All you need to do is search by recipe title, ingredients, or cooking time to receive step-by-step instructions.
