- ghaff 5y agoThere are quite a few ovens you can enable turning on remotely these days. Personally I would not use such a feature.
- nomel 5y agoMy oven requires that you manually hold two buttons, simultaneously, to temporarily enable the "remote start" feature. It requires real intent. I don't really understand the use case though.
- ghaff 5y agoHow many dishes should you leave at room temperature all day which then take such a long time to cook that you can't just turn the oven on when you get home?
- ColinWright 5y agoTwo come immediately to my mind. One is a baked potato ... I'd've loved to have been able to have the oven turn on at 16:30 so that the potato was properly baked when I got in at 18:00. I used to do that with the oven I had when I was a teen, but not when I was early in my working career. The other is the family casserole that we used to have on a Friday night. My parents would prepare it in the morning and program the oven to come on at a low temperature at 15:00. Then when we got home it would be done perfectly. There are others, those are just the two of which I have direct personal experience.
- fredoralive 5y agoWith electric ovens the built in timer can usually turn themselves on (and off) automatically with a delayed start function already. Adding a remote access isn't that far fetched. Unattended start for a gas oven does feel dodgy though.
