If you’ve been impatiently waiting for a real-life version of Star Trek’s replicators – where all we have to do is tell the unit what meal to make – we’re at least taking one small step in that direction.
‘Eating technology company’ Innit has announced an iOS app that can send cooking instructions direct from an iPhone app to more than 100 different models of Wi-Fi-enabled ovens from GE Appliances and Bosch …
So when the recipe calls for the dish to be baked for 25 minutes at 400F, the app will automatically set the oven to the correct temperature and alert you when it’s time to remove it. It also helps you manage more complex cooking tasks.
The company says that its ambitions go beyond controlling the oven to managing the entire food experience, from meal-planning onward.
While the app may appeal more to less confident cooks, who appreciate all the help they can get, Innit says it also hopes that it will allow more experienced chefs to cook more creatively.
The company promises that more partner brands will be included next year.
The Innit app is expected to be available in the App Store shortly. There’s no word yet on HomeKit compatibility.
