Intelli-Steam

The Vianté Home Products Intellisteam coordinates mealtime. Three individual cooking compartments all complete the cooking process at the same time. 

My mom tells me to keep out of the kitchen. She's always running from pot to pot, oven to fridge, and then back again. Her favorite saying is: "Cooking is always an emergency." Cooking requires a lot of coordination to put together a full meal, and have it all warm at the same time...the type of coordination I don't have. So being the tech-savvy nerd I am, I found a technological solution to my culinary predicament...

Jim & Mary McCusker, founders and owners of Vianté Home Products Company, have that solution. Set to become available in July 2013, the Vianté Home Products CUC-30ST Intellisteam is an intelligent steamer that coordinates mealtime. Comprised of three individual cooking chambers, the countertop steamer times the cooking process so that differing ingredients can all finish cooking at the same time.

A series of eight preset functions allow the user to select the menu item of choice. From left to right in the picture above, the icons represent: eggs, leaf and pod vegetables  meat and poultry, fish and shellfish, root vegetables, sauces and fruits, rice and pasta while the final setting is a "keep warm" function. Additionally, each compartment can be used manually, giving users control as well as a wide variety of automatic options.

A complete meal satisfies desire when the variety is served up piping hot all at the same time. Balancing the amount and intensity of steam delivered to each compartment allows the Intellisteam to bring the full meal together using a simple and intuitive interface with no culinary training required.

Vianté Home Products also has an assortment of other cooking appliances, like this blender...a multi task food prep appliance which mixes, slices, chops, blends, simmers, boils, and cooks. It has electronic touch controls and even makes baby food...
