When you go to someone's house,

you feel more of a sense of intimacy than you do in a restaurant.

It's more personal.

The Mald Smart Knob

The Meld smart knob is perfect for people who try to cook but don't have great judgment, and find themselves regularly under-cooking or over-cooking meals. It is an ingenious device that, when attached to your cooker, can automate the process of maintaining food temperatures, promising a perfect meal. The knob comes with a special clip that monitors food temperature in your pot. Companion iOS and Android apps enable you to program in recipes, which the knob then follows.
