> While we’re on the topic of clever kitchenware, next on our list is the Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub. Hook this little gizmo up to your iPhone and you’ll get a cooking colleague whispering sweet food-related nothings into your ear, mainly about how long your chosen meal has left until it’s cooked through properly.

The device can send you alerts on everything from food readiness to the time left until you need to flip your burgers over. If you’re trying a new dish – or simply want an extra helping hand – the companion app also offers stepby-step instructions that’ll guide you to a culinary masterpiece.

Best of all, there’s no need to buy an expensive smart grill. Just download the app and connect Weber’s pocket-sized chef and you’re good to go.
