Pantelligentby CircuitLab
PROS
- The Pantelligent smart frying pan helps novice and advanced cooks alike by delivering cooking temperature in real time to a Bluetooth-connected smartphone app.
- Pantelligent is a well-constructed 12-inch skillet with a nonstick surface.
- Pantelligent's smartphone app supports iOS and Android, and it ships with several dozen "temperature-enabled" recipes.
CONS
- The Pantelligent does not work with induction cooktops.
- At $199, the Pantelligent is pricey--especially given that its Teflon coating limits its useful life to about five years.
- If your cooktop can't maintain a steady temperature, the app will have you adjusting it almost constantly.

It’s incredibly helpful to use when cooking something where temperature is crucial, but we’re not sure it’d be as useful when cooking say, eggs or a grilled cheese sandwich — two of the 50 or so recipes currently available.

...I became a believer after Pantelligent helped me (posing as a kitchen klutz) create a perfectly cooked, and tasteful, blackened tilapia. Immediately my skepticism sensor dipped even though the inaccuracy of electric stovetop burners produced constant temperature adjustments at the pan's request.

Let’s say you buy a delectable ribeye steak that you intend to cook for your best friend (hopefully me). The only information Pantelligent needs is the thickness of the steak, which you can even measure in-app using a nifty ruler tool.

The Pantelligent Smart Frying Pan doesn’t come with Gordon Ramsay, but it does come with a cooking coach and some built-in tech that should prevent the smoke alarm from going off.
Overall, I can see the Pantelligent being a phenomenal asset to a lot of people, if they can afford the expense.
