Why blow on your hot food when you can get a robot to do it for you?
FLAVOR BOOSTING ELECTRIC SALT SPOON
The Kirin Electric Salt Spoon introduces a novel approach to seasoning, utilizing mild electrical currents to enhance the perception of saltiness and umami in low-sodium foods. This device addresses the common challenge of reduced flavor in low-sodium diets. By emitting a gentle electric current, the spoon stimulates the taste receptors on the tongue, intensifying the savory notes of the food without adding extra sodium. Users can select from four adjustable levels of "saltiness" to suit their preferences. This innovation not only offers a healthier alternative to traditional salt but also enhances the dining experience for those mindful of their sodium intake.
