CES 2026: Automated cooking gets real with Nosh’s multi-meal smart kitchen tool
It may still sound like a Jetsons-like scenario in which Rosey the robot does all the cooking, but one of the fastest-growing tech segments in some countries is automated cooking. There are now plenty of options designed to make cooking easier, and they go far beyond simply stirring ingredients in a pot.Nosh is one of the emerging faces of this category. You load the ingredients into the unit and Nosh assembles them for you. Unlike its rivals, however, it features more than one ingredient tray, allowing you to prepare multiple meals at the same time.Nosh uses a built-in camera and advanced AI to determine precisely when each ingredient is cooked to perfection, before automatically moving on to the next step. You can also command it to cook from anywhere via its app—provided the ingredient trays are prepared in advance. Additionally, each recipe on Nosh can be tailored to suit personal preferences.The machine can handle over 500 dishes across cuisines including American, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Korean, Pan-Asian and more, with new recipes added every week. To ensure ingredients are cooked correctly, the built-in camera continuously monitors heating and stirring inside the unit.After six years of research and development, Nosh is now being used by more than 1,000 families, who have collectively cooked over 25,000 meals since its launch last year.“Even though we are early in our journey, the response and support we have received from creators have been phenomenal, with videos crossing six million and 35 million organic views, showing how the idea of an AI-powered robo-chef sparks curiosity and shareability,” says Amit Gupta, co-founder of Nosh Robotics.The device can also customise the cooking process, such as reducing sodium levels or adjusting spice intensity. The unit measures around 16 inches in height and approximately 22 inches in width.
