Was just about to post this video. I think some of the su comments suggesting AI/ML or IoT seem to miss his point: in a lot of cases, good old fashioned individual problem solving expressed as decision trees and lookup tables can do wonders. Sure, it's a lot more ambitious as a VC-backed company to "solve" cooking by having the one algorithm to rule them all, but in most cases it's not even known that this is an algorithm that is decidable. What I know we can do right now is to add a sensor to cook a potato, heat a hot water bottle, and cook popcorn with minimal logic and good testing. This way you'll also have a product that helps most users do 80% of their tasks while the cook-anything algorithm is still burning millions in stealth. If you're smart you may even collect enough data and operational knowledge building this product to put you way ahead of other teams, should you wish to go the AI route.
