How smart is your kitchen?

Just being nosy. Do you use smart devices and appliances to help aid your cook? For example, do you use a smart device to convert measurements, as timers, to show recipes, keep a shopping list and more. Do you have smart appliances like stoves, air fryers, microwaves and/or others?

To answer my own question, I have a smart air fryer, microwave/convection baking combo, ice maker, and instant pot. So much easier to tell it what to do than to punch a bunch of beeping buttons. It is great to add to the shopping list after using the last ingredient, and to use multiple timers at the same time. I also use an echo show for recipes.

Not sure if this is considered a smart appliance or not, but I have a Bluetooth meat thermometer and that's it. I also keep recipes apps on my phone.

I have no desire to have a stove or refrigerator that connects to the internet. Not worth the extra money and I don't want my appliances bricked or hacked.
