It may not be as smart as some of the other new kitchen gadgets in the list here, but this thermometer-spoon from Mastrad will streamline your cooking and save you some time and effort in the kitchen. Combining a probe thermometer and spoon in one handy device, it lets you monitor cooking temperatures as you stir, and the detachable probe can measure temperatures from -40° to 250°C, with an accuracy to the nearest tenth of a degree.
Here's one we had covered before in our round up of gear for professional chefs but there's no reason why the serious home cook can't have one too. These stain and waterproof chef whites are coated in a nanotechnology so that means stains literally slip right off the whites. Designed by innovatie workwear company Fabricor, they're the latest in cool chef gear, and the video is pretty fun to watch too.
