Prep Pad Smart Food Scale by Orange Chef Co

Just when you thought you had every kitchen gadget you could ever want, we’ve stumbled upon another one for you to add to your culinary homebase: The Orange Chef Co’s Smart Food Scale, the Prep Pad, the perfect invention for someone who is both a foodie and a techie. With the Smart Food Scale, you will get real-time insight into your food sent directly to the Countertop app on your iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Mini or iPad Air.

The Prep Pad will give you all of the important information you need about what you’re preparing, including calories, carbs, protein and more, and it will also keep track of your entire meal preparation (not just the single food you have on the pad). Unfortunately, you have to manually add every single ingredient you put onto the Prep Pad into the Countertop app’s database, which it then uses to determine calorie and other information based on the weight of the food on the scale. Still, it’s an impressive gadget to add to your collection of kitchen gadgets you’ll use once or twice and forget about.
