For the stove/oven, most people that can afford an oven that refrigerates and cooks, either don’t cook or the wife stays home and isn’t premaking a lasagna. I don’t see needing a push notification that the oven is preheated because when cooking, I’ve never found myself that far from the kitchen for that long. The complex cooking with different temps is a sales pitch. Doesn’t happen. And ultimately, the oven is something that can burn the house down. I don’t see many people being comfortable starting the oven when no one is home.
As for the dryer, I don’t want a dryer with more expensive diagnostic parts to tell me something I will notice very quickly, like the drum isn’t turning. And what kind of hovel are you living in that you would heat up your house in the morning by turning the dryer on?
And the fridge, my fridge has an alarm if the door is left open. If I’m not home to shut it, knowing about it doesn’t do me much good. And I’ve never worried about parts of the fridge being cooler than others.
Again, these all sound like points thought up by salespukes, not real purposes.
mostly agree. I just wanted to add (concerning the stove) For a slowcooker or a bread machine, even a coffee maker I can get the attraction of a timer/ starting things early but not for an oven. For me it is not about burning down the house but he math of the situation.
Let's take his example of a lasagna, what takes time and effort is making that nice meat sauce, making that béchamel... all those pots to clean. Once you have a lasagna ready to bake (if you make it or you buy a frozen one) it takes around 20 minutes to cook. That is why when I used to travel a lot I used to make lasagna and shepherds pie all the time. you do the heavy lifting a day or two before leaving, when you get back home you put it in the oven, go upstairs change, go to the kitchen make a nice salad set the table, and voila you have a nice hot dish ready to eat when you are ready to eat it.
Now if you go with something more interesting (like I will be making today) roasted potatoes , pork tender loin and roasted bok choy salad. Then this is what happens
1) take out pork and put it on the counter
2) 10-15 minutes later: prep potatoes and put them in the oven
3) 15-20 minutes later: pan fry the outside of the pork, prep and add it to the oven (make bacon at the same time)
4) 20 minute latrter cut bok choy in half add oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and add it to the oven
5) when the pork is ready, take it out and put an aluminum foil on top (let it rest)
6) take out bok choy and chop it up, add bacon, add some nice cherry tomatoes, make vinaigrette and toss salad...
7) cut pork
8) take out potatoes and eat
will his magic oven be able to change the porc from refrigerated to room temp and keep it there while the potatoes are cooking at 400?
