We’ve no doubt that Gorenje’s iChef oven can bake, and bake well — but as you’ve probably guessed, we’re more interested in the appliance’s finger-friendly controls. Kitchens of the future often come complete with touchscreen panels and home automation settings, but you aren’t just keying in the time and temperature here — it’s got sixty-five preset dishes it can cook autonomously , 150 slots for you to program your own, and a option that lets you bake in three separate stages for perfection (or bitter disappointment, depending on your choices) inside and out. It’s all controlled through a colorful filled with pictures of loving-prepared food, and though we’re afraid we can’t find a video of it in action, you’ll find screencaps and descriptions at our source link below. The oven launches in Europe this spring and if you have to ask how much it costs, you probably won’t have enough left over to afford a robotic manservant anyhow.
