Electrolux Inspiro smart oven - no thinking required

Electrolux has unveiled their new Inspiro auto-adjusting oven. What is an auto-adjusting oven, you ask? It’s an oven that automatically detects optimal temperature and time settings depending on what is placed inside.

The company describes the technology as similar to auto-adjustment technology used in many modern cameras to figure out settings for aperture, focus, exposure time, etc. depending on what is in the frame. I know what you are thinking, and the answer is: yes, the Inspiro has a manual mode for those who want control over how their food is prepared.

This is a pretty cool idea, but we’re not entirely sure who the target audience is. Everyone I know who cooks on a regular basis likes to be able to tweak appliance settings. But who knows, perhaps this will be the next big thing and in a couple of years everyone will own one.

No word on price or release date as of now.
