Smart Refrigerator Makes The Best Use Of Food On Hand

A new smart refrigerator concept can create recipes based on the food stored inside it. The fridge, a project between University of Central Lancashire and online supermarket Ocado, scans its contents and concocts recipes based on what it finds. Treehugger further explains:

[The refrigerator] can move food around its shelves according to expiration date, so the stuff that needs to be used first is up front. And it can also reorder fresh food when needed. Plus, the designers dreamed up coordinating trashcan technology that would scan foods tossed out — the fridge would read the data and reduce these ingredients in future meals.
