Revolutionary Smart Oven

The Dacor Discovery IQ Series Double Oven is a revolutionary smart oven that will be making appearances in kitchens throughout 2015, the oven itself costs $7,399 which is a hell of a price for an oven, so it might not be the best for the standard homeowners.

Dacor is a premium appliance brand that has been newly introduced. Dacor is a family-owned appliance company specialising in cooking products. They are known for innovative features and pioneered the concept of the 30” built-in wall oven, and true third element convection. Their line of appliances also includes ventilation, refrigerators, dishwashers and microwaves.

This oven is the most technologically advanced appliance in the industry. The 7’’ touch-screen is essentially a tablet designed by Samsung. Like the other ovens out there you can use preprogrammed oven modes for virtually any dish you can think of. You can also store your favourite modes in the oven.

You can use applications like Pandora (to listen to music while you cook), watch your shows on Netflix while you wait for dinner to be done, or even get your online holiday shopping done while you make cookies. I especially like the flexibility of the interface and the amount of things you can do on it. This oven can also self-diagnose service issues.

If you think your oven is not operating correctly, Dacor can diagnose a service issue from afar to assess what is wrong. I also like that you can operate the oven remotely from your smartphone or computer with Bluetooth Technology, so you can start preheating the oven for dinner from the office before you travel home.

From a functionality standpoint Dacor is known for pioneering the idea of true third element convection. It also incorporates a steam-cleaning feature where you can pour water into the bottom of the oven and heat the oven with steam for easier cleaning. This oven has a hidden bake and hidden broil elements, a digital temperature probe, and 7 different rack positions in the oven.

There are two small drawbacks that I can think of: in an age where everyone has multiple devices for remotely accessing the internet, the wall oven can only be remotely connected to one device.

As someone who grew up with the development of the technology we know today I am fascinated by these ovens. Even for those who are sceptical, the technology can help save you time, especially on the Miele and Dacor ovens that can help diagnose a potential service issue. I also like the concept of the menu-driven system to help with cooking.

These wall ovens can also walk you through cooking a variety of dishes useful for anyone who is an adventurous eater but an inexperienced chef. I think that if I had an oven with a culinary centre I would spend less money out at restaurants and try to cook some unique dishes at home.

On the horizon, Jenn-Air, Thermador, Wolf and Gaggenau are expected to release new technologically enhanced ovens in 2015. We will update this article with new updates.
