This sounds like it was designed by people who don’t cook. If they wanted a game changer, they should have put a scale in there or a 3D scanner to measure how thick the food is or a microphone to tell when popcorn stops popping.

But the 5G rays really help get your potatoes extra crispy.

Unless Alexa can also unwrap the Hot Pockets, put them in the crisping sleeves on a plate, and put the plate in the microwave for me then this idea is useless as shit.

Call me when it can print my chicken and then cook it for me

I need to put the food in the oven manually, but I want to let the food just sit out for a while until I'm ready to tell it from the other room to go through the preheat cycle and then start baking.

Smart cookers / kettles / dishwashers / refrigerators are exactly the opposite of that.

actually apps are very useful for cooking. recipes, diet facts, ingredient substitution, timers, shopping lists, youtube to see someone cook the thing, etc. i can't even imagine cooking without apps any more.

We can finally stop that beeping via app.

I will say that my mom does really like her new Alexa-compatible microwave, for accessibility reasons.
