More is not always more when it comes to so-called smart kitchen tools. We’ve all been there: trying to “talk” to our allegedly genius home tech assistants, only to have our intentions horrifically garbled in the process.
And by this point, you may be a bit jaded. You’ve probably seen your fair share of air fryer content and spiralizer reviews, but hear us out ... there is a trendy new kitchen appliance about to transform home cooking for good. Behold: The smart oven.
A smart oven is a standalone, amped-up toaster oven of sorts with a wide range of cooking functionalities — from steam cooking sous vide style, to air-frying and dehydrating, to baking and convection cooking. Although each model ranges in functionality, the most consistent features of all smart ovens are their Bluetooth-enabled cooking command capability as well as built-in “smart,” automatic features. Both of these features help the home cook better track cooking progress. Which means you might finally stop setting off your damn smoke alarm!Models like the Anova Precision Cooker are trending right now in the smart kitchen appliance space for their multitasking capabilities, but there are a few other key players in the space that are much more affordable.
