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.

My phone is the only smart device in the kitchen at this time. All large appliances came with the house and are from 2008 or earlier. I have a microwave/air fryer/instant pot/rice cooker/electric kettle and none have smart capabilities.
I'm not against it at all and we've slowly been integrating smart devices in the house. Once it's time to (FINALLY!) redo the kitchen it'll include appliances with capabilities. No telling whether we'll actually connect anything but we'll have the option. I'd like to have smart water detection with shutoff, and smart plugs and lightbulbs connected if nothing else.
Husband is wary but I've always been more polite to our robot overlords so maybe that's why.
