Tech companies of all sizes are showing off their latest gadgets at CES 2024 in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS — Chef-like robots, AI-powered appliances and other high-tech kitchen gadgets are holding out the promise that humans don't need to cook — or mix drinks — for themselves anymore.
There was plenty new in the food and beverage world at CES 2024, the multi-day trade event put on by the Consumer Technology Association. Displays included a cocktail-mixing machine akin to a Keurig, and a robot barista whose movements are meant to mimic a human making a vanilla latte.

He said the air fryer would turn even the worst cooks into chefs.
Chef AI will be available in the U.S. in September for $250.
What's the secret to a perfect dirty martini? Don't worry about it — Bartesian's cocktail-mixing appliance takes the guesswork out of bartending.
Bartesian's latest iteration, the Premier, can hold up to four different types of spirits. It retails for $369 and will be available later this year.
