And the first one to say "I, for one, welcome..." will be place inside the oven.

...actually kind of a neat idea - if it works]]>Mar 18th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/Mar 18th 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/Mar 18th 2008 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/Mar 18th 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/Mar 18th 2008 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/Mar 18th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/Mar 18th 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/Mar 18th 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/
Mathematical formula? Can do. Calculating rates, times, distances? Easy. Whats the proper temperature for a perfect turkey? There is the problem. A computer can't tell what a perfect turkey is and what qualifies as a perfect turkey anyway? That varies based on the human.

I still think its a good idea, but those sensors should be put to use giving feedback to the user, not to a processor trying to work out pre-determined variables. Think about it, what if your oven could provide you with information based on how cooked the bird is? It couldn't measure how succulent the feathered friend is, but it could tell you, say, a percentage of how far through the meat is cooked, or how much juice is currently sitting in the pan (in milliliters). That would help a user control the degree by which they've cooked the bird without having to take it out, cut it open, and say "not done enough," or "ah I burned it" or "to dry."

Now THAT would be a oven I'd be interested in.]]>Mar 18th 2008 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/Mar 18th 2008 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/Mar 18th 2008 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/
Cool idea. It will be interesting to see how accurately and consistently it can perform.]]>Mar 19th 2008 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/electrolux-debuts-intelligent-auto-focus-inspiro-oven/wow...
