Someone shared this with me this morning and as a bit of a geek I thought it was quite cool (although a kitchen scale, after all). Just leaving the article and video here in case you are interested in having a look!

"Drop connects to a custom iPad app via Bluetooth and walks cooks through a selection of recipes. Instead of treating a mixing bowl like a dumb receptacle, Drop detects when enough bread flour or brown sugar has been added to the mix and uses that change in weight as a cue to advance to the next step in the recipe. Drop also knows if it’s user has made a particular meal before and can remind them to add more spice to a bland recipe or pull popovers out of the oven a few minutes earlier than the app instructs."
