Review: The Smart Oven That Can (Kind Of) Cook for You

The good: Recognizes certain foods, Easy to use, Cooks food automatically The bad: Expensive, only identifies limited selection of foods Who should buy: Those with cash to spare who don't have much time to cook and have limited kitchen experience I'm not the best home chef around, yet my first attempt at baking lemon garlic salmon turned out perfectly. But I wasn't following a special technique: I just opened the oven door, slid in a tray of seasoned filets, and pressed a button. My oven took care of the rest. That's what it's like to use the June Intelligent Oven, which relies on a combination of internal cameras, artificial intelligence to identify and cook certain foods. The company behind the oven says it'll start shipping units to customers who pre-ordered its $1,495 oven in December; it'll start fulfilling new orders in January.
