Anova’s new steam oven can recognize your food and tell you how to cook it


Deciding what to eat is still left up to you.

Anova also offers an optional app that can leverage a mobile device’s camera to identify packaged foods and recommend the best cooking method while providing access to additional recipes and a live video feed from inside the oven. Anova says additional features taking advantage of the oven’s added camera are “soon-to-be-released,” including reminders for when its interior needs a deep cleaning and spotting cooking mistakes before a dish is ruined. However, when Anova recently introduced the subscription for its popular sous vide cookers, it paywalled features like remote control for new customers while maintaining free access for legacy owners.
