These GE Appliances smart ovens can now know what they’re cooking
If you have a smart GE Appliances wall oven, it’s about getting smarter. Cookcam AI is a new feature that uses artificial intelligence to recognize what you put in the oven and figure out the rest for you, so you don’t need to hover over it and worry about burning your pizza. The company says Cookcam AI is coming to select GE Profile and Café wall ovens with in-oven cameras via a free over-the-air software upgrade.
Cookcam AI will work with Precision Cooking Mode, which is a feature already on most connected GE Appliances ovens, including Monogram, Café, GE Profile, and GE models. Precision Cooking Mode allows for guided cooking that takes you step by step through setting the appliance correctly for your dish using the oven’s touchscreen or GE Appliances’ SmartHQ app. With Cookcam AI you won’t need to look for the right mode, it will do it for you.
“Once the food is placed in the oven and the door is closed, the camera takes images of the oven cavity and uses AI and machine learning to detect and identify the food,” the company said in a press release. The oven then shows the recommended Precision Cooking Mode
