  • Brava's smart oven is the latest in a line of connected kitchenware that promises to take the guess-work out of cooking. Using high-powered lamps to rapidly cook food with light, Brava promises to be fast and precise. It also offers meal kit services that will pair with the oven's preset cook modes. But with its $1000 price tag and $40 per meal kit, Brava makes take-out look awfully appealing.

    Non-smart halogen ovens have been around for a couple of decades now. I had one myself and know several people who also own(ed) one. The thing is: they’re brilliant while they work, but the halogen elements tend not to last very long. If you regularly use it I would expect a lifetime of one to two years max. Then you will have to replace at least one of the heating elements if not more. That might be OK for a $59 halogen oven, but certainly not for $1000.

    Back in the 70's our school had a option for lunch where you bought a hamburger, hot dog, or small pizza in a plastic bag and cooked it in a oven much like this...set the dail to 'hamburger' it lights up with halogen type bulbs. Some convenience stores still have that system. So, I could see this working at a institutional level for break rooms, dorm common areas, etc... and selling their barcoded prepackaged 'tv dinners' from a vending machine.

    An interesting concept and I'd like to try it. But at that price I'd want it to teach me how to cook in general, not just specifically for the device itself. I have a basic halogen oven for the counter top and I use it all the time. Never heard about different colored foods taking different times to cook, but I guess it makes sense.

    This so-called Smart Oven seems pretty dumb to me. I think they're hoping people will buy it, find out how difficult it is to use all the zones, and start buying the meal kits. I'll be surprised if this thing is still on the market in a year or two.

  • @DavidBott
    @DavidBott 5 років тому

    Of major concern is that the higher priced kit comes with "3 months of Brava+ membership ($29.97 value)" (So $120 a year) In looking up what that it, it talks about being able to save settings and use the APP and also get software updates. So am I to understand that unless I am part of the Brava+ membership I can not use the APP to save things, check on the status, get updates etc? That would be one very poor thing that you need to pay for a monthly service to use such an oven. Can't even get software updates with out a paid service? Unheard of to say the least with a product that runs on software! After all, as you say, it's a computer.
    Please tell me I am incorrect in the above as it makes zero sense to have to pay to use the product itself in a way that clearly is not really talked about unless you find it in an FAQ and understand it. Even more so when you consider the price point.
