The Meld smart knob takes over your stove to cook meals to perfection

Everything in the home, from light bulbs to TVs to fridges, seems to be getting smarter, and you can now add stoves to the list. Meld is a smart knob that attaches to your cooker, automating the process of maintaining temperatures and promising a perfect meal every time. It comes with a clip to monitor food temperature in the pot, and an app for iOS and Android that enables you to program in recipes.

If you're guilty of often overcooking or undercooking dinner, then the Meld could be just the ticket. The Meld Knob replaces one of the circular knobs on your existing cooker, working in tandem with the Clip thermometer to keep pots and pans at a regular temperature, turning the oven knob to raise or lower it as required. Through the companion app you can access a selection of provided recipe templates or create your own, and the Meld system then follows your instructions (the Knob can be controlled manually too).
