For kitchen-tech lovers, Philips has unveiled an innovative eco kitchen at the Simplicity 2008 event in Moscow. The Green Cuisine kitchen concept illustrates a responsible use of resources, helping people become more conscious in their domestic consumption of water, electricity, gas and even food. The futuristic kitchen is based around a table that lets you cook or heat anywhere owing to the integrated sensors which detect your pan or kettle and apply heat directly underneath. You can control the settings through touch-sensitive LED panels. The table even has an under-the-table composter that will compact all your peelings and left-overs and enable you to grow herbs on the table. Philips reports to make this innovative kitchen concept a reality in next 3 to 5 years, and by then we hope it will also come up with some other technology for safety reasons. Besides all the eco-goodness, wish it could also integrate kitchen appliances like the Poggenpohl Dining Desk.
