I have been thinking the same thing. For this price, for a so-called "smart" oven, there is no excuse that it's not a combi or cvap oven. I wouldn't consider purchasing any standalone oven appliance for this price unless it was combi or cvap.
Before any other "smart" features I'd want:
* Precise temperature control between ~100F-450F
* Precise humidity control from 0%-100% relative humidity
* Dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, and an internal temperature probe (preferably up to 2 internal probes).
* High temperature sear/broil
If you want it to be "smart" then forget the camera identification and allow me simply select "roast chicken" and have it cook to an internal temperature of ~155F (165F if you so choose) at 100% humidity before automatically turning the humidity down to 0% and switching to broil to crisp the skin.
- lambdaelite 11y agoWell said—completely agree.
- lifekaizen 11y agoThat's how we built our app, you tell Cinder it's chicken and it's the time/temperature profile. You can also manually control temperature precisely from 70F to 525F, and the even high heat sear has amazed many chefs. We looked at steam but it's challenging because water reservoirs limit cooking time, or running plumbing is beyond reach for most homes (but something restaurants do). I'd like to build one in the future. Meanwhile, Cinder is $499 (email me for a HackerNews discount: eric@cindercooks.com).
