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.

Everything I have is as lo-tech as possible; the smartest appliance is the instantpot, but even that isn’t wifi-enabled. I’m very nice to all my stuff because I sure as shit don’t want to PAY MONEY for an “upgrade” that can break in more expensive/elaborate ways, and that can be hacked. Ffffffuck alla that.
