Kiss the QOOQ: A New PC for the Kitchen
Friday, October 30, 2009 1:20If you’ve ever had dreams of embracing your inner Julia Child a la “Julie & Julia”, here’s your chance. Thanks to a nifty new gadget from France, you can throw away all those tattered recipes and cookbooks.
The QOOQ (pronounced “cook”), is a kitchen computer that might be able to make cooking a pleasurable experience for those of us that are a little gun shy around the oven. QOOQ comes with video recipes as well as 500 preloaded dishes. And if that’s not enough, users can sign up for a monthly subscription and have new recipes and sent to device. The digital recipe box can get internet access using WiFi or Ethernet. There’s no web browser to speak of, but you can check the weather and update recipes as needed.
In addition to the recipes and videos, the QOOQ also serves as a meal planner and can help create a shopping list, so you don’t off track with the impulse buying when you hit the grocery store. And when you need a little entertainment, QOOQ doubles as a digital picture frame and receives internet radio stations.
The 10.2-inch touchscreen tablet PC has a glass screen that makes for easy clean up as a precaution against those unexpected splashes and spills. Unfortunately, QOOQ is currently a French exclusive, but if there are plans to bring the device stateside, I’m sure it will sell like hotcakes (pun totally intended) to the burgeoning foodie movement.

It is unfortunate that no product such as the Qooq exists in the U.S. There should be a Big Oven or Epicurious sponsored tablet that lets you email, retrieve and store recipes, check weather, etc.
