The oven in my stove has been broken for a few weeks and it has barely affected my life because I use a Breville smart oven/air fryer almost exclusively when I cook at home . Right now, Amazon has a ton of Breville's high-end kitchen appliances on sale during its early Prime Big Deal Day sale. The official shopping holiday starts on October 7th, but these devices are on sale now, so you can order a new espresso machine and spend your Prime Day sipping while you scroll.

Inc. defended the privacy features of its Alexa digital assistant -- and introduced some new tools to reassure users – following months of debate about the practices of the technology giant and its largest competitors. The company plans to roll out a feature that lets users of the Alexa voice-based assistant automatically delete their verbal recordings regularly, on a rolling three-month and 18-month basis. Previously, Alexa users had to manually delete their stored voice recordings on a companion website. "We care about this," Dave Limp, the leader of Amazon's devices and services business, said of privacy during a press event at the company's headquarters in Seattle. "Privacy is absolutely foundational to everything that we do in and around Alexa."

These days, Whirlpool is more than just ovens and dishwashers. Over the years at CES, the appliance giant has proved it has some pretty serious tech chops as well. Earlier in the week, the company already announced that you can now control some appliances with a Wear OS device. Now, it's getting ready to unleash a slew of new and improved gadgets for the home. One of the most intriguing by far is a connected hub wall oven concept that apparently uses augmented reality to help you out in the kitchen. Created by W Labs, Whirlpool's innovation incubator, the Whirlpool Connected Hub Wall Oven has a 27-inch transparent LCD interface on the front where a typical oven door would be.

Two years ago, June unveiled its first smart oven, complete with a 2.3-GHz quad-core NVIDIA processor, lots of sensors and a dose of artificial intelligence. In my review, I was mesmerized by how well it cooked a variety of foods simply using preset programs. Unfortunately, at $1,500, it was ridiculously expensive. Today, June is discontinuing it and is ready to reveal its second-generation oven. Not only does it cook faster, it's smarter and, at $600, significantly cheaper.

I have a confession to make: I don't cook. I can kick butt in a VR band and assemble a robot in no time flat, but the kitchen is my kryptonite. Apparently I'm not alone, because this crazy smart oven called June is gaining all kinds of attention from people who just aren't crafty when it comes to cooking. The June oven ($1,495) doesn't look particularly smart at first glance -- it's got that stainless steel and glass design that reminds me of one of a fancy-looking toaster oven --but true to its advertising, "June is a precision instrument that's loaded with innovations never seen before in a countertop oven." It's basically a computerized cooking assistant that identifies what you're trying to cook and completely takes over -- in a good way.

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.

The tsunami of innovation and waves of disruption are not slowing down,

In other words, then, the company wants to be the platform that helps you throughout the entire cooking process -- starting from the food you have in your fridge, helping you to prepare it and then finally cooking it in a way that delivers perfect results every time. That's a tall order, especially considering all the variables involved, including the size and shape of different foods and the fact that not everyone knows how to cook. But thanks to some machine learning smarts and a variety of high-tech sensors, Innit believes its system is up to the task. It all starts with food storage. Using cameras and sensors, Innit is able to show you exactly what you have in your fridge, with the help of a companion app.
