Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Alexa-integrated Whirlpool oven hands-on”.
Hey this is that, with the verge and ahead of CES, Amazon announced a new Alexis scale. They’Ll, let you control your oven now at CES, we’re at the whirlpool kitchen, where a new line of appliances will work with both Alexa and thrust peas, a plug yum ways, and you can figure out the ingredients in your fridge to figure out what to make for The night so there’s a new whirlpool fridge, it’s got a little screen on it. It’Ll tell you the time you can actually also use it to add digital Amazon buttons, for when your stuff runs out now we’re going to go through with a yummy app. You can use the image recognition portion of this app to either scan your entire fridge or just ingrediens. You want to cook tonight. So, let’s see what we got so we’ve got asparagus, so you want a protein and that salmon and round it out with potato and based on that alone we have a handful of recipes that we can make.
So, let’s go with that one and you have the instructions here, but you also have an ingredient list of what else you need, such as lemon and salt. That’S pretty basic standard stuff, there’s also nutritional values, which is pretty useful. If you care about that stuff, once you hit make and start cooking, the oven is now integrated with the app to communicate with one another so that it’s preheating the oven as you start cooking.
So at this point, you’re putting the potatoes in it’s got a timer on how long you need to put them in. It’S also giving you instructions on how to best cook these things based on how long they need the potatoes need to go. First, the fish and go later so that’s pretty helpful. So once you press the maked, you do have to press it twice to make sure that you want the oven turned on. So that’s a pretty good confirmation that you want the oven on and once you go through all these steps when you’re done the app does give you a push notification to come back and retrieve your Cook’s food and if you don’t come back soon enough, the app Also does know to communicate with the oven, to automatic cool down to warm your food so that you don’t burn it and if you don’t come back soon enough, they’ll just shut off so that you don’t accidentally overflow, your house with gas. If you don’t have your phone on hand, there’s also a screen on the oven itself that tells you how far along the preheat is. It also gives you instructions on when you’re ready to pull out your baked potatoes or, if you need to leave them for longer or if you decided to leave it in the oven to warm for those five minutes.
It gives you a timer for that as well, and if you’re not near your phone, you can also use the screen on the oven here to press Start so that you can start with cooking your salmon and there’s a digital timer here that lets. You know when it’s going to be done when it is done either you can come back and check the oven or you’ll also get a push notification to your Apple watch or phone. The microwave works the same way.
It’S also got a little digital screen. That gives you instructions in case your recipe with yummly requires using a microwave. So the new range comes in three different: colors stainless steel, black stainless and bronze. I think this color is pretty nice and I’ve touched it a couple of times. Now it’s actually pretty good. At not retaining any fingerprints which is great for when you’re cooking, it is a little expensive. The microwave starts at around eight hundred dollars.
The rain just starts at nineteen fifty and the fridge starts at forty 2.99. Now I might feel kind of weird to set up Wi-Fi on your stove and microwave, but that’s sort of the direction that smart foam is moving towards, which means of your Wi-Fi goes down. All this just becomes a regular, dumb appliance, which means that if you are using these apps together to learn how to cook that’s great and it’s great for convenience, but definitely don’t rely on it to not burn your house down.
Oh wow, assisted cooking. There you go .
