Let’s be honest—parenting is a full-time job, and somehow, meal prep is another full-time job on top of that. Between school drop-offs, soccer practice, homework battles, and attempting to have a moment of peace (ha!), figuring out dinner can feel like a never-ending game of “What’s in the fridge?” followed by the classic “Do we have time to make this before everyone gets hangry?”
So, we gave Suvie a try, an innovative kitchen robot designed to take the stress out of meal preparation by cooking meals automatically at a scheduled time. It uses a Cool-to-Cook® refrigeration system to keep ingredients fresh throughout the day and then automatically starts cooking at the right time.
