Abstract

In this article, Katharina Graf challenges futurist visions and scholarly debates around the smart home and the domestication of digital technologies by drawing on multisen¬sory participant observation of domestic cooks' interactions with digital kitchen robots. She demonstrates that smart kitch¬ens are already a reality and that cyborg cooks are firmly established among us. Indeed, she argues further that mothers should be considered as early adopters of digital technologies in diverse domestic kitchens and contests the assumptions in futurist visions and in the literature that women, including those from cultural or class minorities, are tech-averse marginal users.
