Cooking is most of the time associated with women. It’s more of an ancestral analogy, rather than something that reflects the reality today. There sure are exquisite male chefs out there, but we tend to think that women in general are more likely to provide better cooked food, because it’s in their genes. However, this might sound like discrimination, and men are ready to exert some cooking powers. Apparently, a company called Pandigital is entirely made of men who really want to explore their food-related talents, because I can’t figure out why else they released the Kitchen Technology Center.

OK, the basic premise is that men a re a bit geeky when it comes to computers and electronics, so, in order to be more appealing to men, the Kitchen Technology Center comes in the form of a touchscreen device that puts functionality and entertainment right at your fingertips, while you somehow happen to be looking for a beer in the fridge. You can’t really drink that beer with an empty belly, right? Why not prepare something delicious to go with that beer, or wine, or whatever drink you have handy? Nope, no sandwiches allowed. C’mon, just use that touchscreen.

Are you thinking of a certain recipe? Don't run back to the computer or crack open a cook book… no time for that. Just access the KTC. It comes preloaded with tons of recipes, plus you can cruise the net and add more. Need some musical background? No problem, the KTC has one gigabyte of memory that you can toss MP3s on, as well as photos and video. It comes with a 15 inch, 1280x720 that also supports HDTV playback.

The KTC is going to be available starting this August for $400.
