The Smart Ovens Market size was valued at USD 247.19 Million in 2021 and is predicted to reach USD 835.67 Million by 2030, increasing at a CAGR of 14.49% from 2022 to 2030.

The adoption of smart homes and smart appliances is expected to give long-term growth potential. Smart home concepts and IoT-enabled products are becoming more popular. A smart oven communicates with other smart appliances to make cooking more efficient, simple, and convenient.

The functionality of typical microwave ovens is combined with the advantages of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for improved communication in a smart oven. The companion software or smart home assistants like Google Home and Amazon Alexa may be used to manage some of these ovens’ voice control features and moveable cooktops. Smart ovens give consumers greater control by enabling remote temperature and cooking setting adjustments.

Additionally, they offer additional cycle settings and culinary modes, which range from baking and roasting to reheating frozen foods. Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rising popularity of intelligent home assistants, smart ovens may now be managed by smartphone apps that provide customers with real-time status information.

Advanced smart ovens include four features: an air fryer, a microwave, a four-in-one convection oven, and a food warmer. Some kinds of smart ovens only have one function. The advancement of barcode scanning devices and optical code readers has significantly boosted the usefulness, efficacy, and efficiency of smart ovens over standard ovens. A barcode scanner is a smart oven function that captures barcode information from the barcode of a food product.

As a consequence, physical effort is reduced, and the user is aware of the various stages of food preparation. The method is user-friendly and convenient thanks to embedded machine-learning algorithms that accurately predict the baking or cooking process time and monitor specific factors like internal temperature and humidity. Companion applications that interact with users and provide messages and warnings regarding appliance functionalities are used in conjunction with smart ovens. While physically far from the oven, users and cooks know the temperature and cooking length. The use of technology in the kitchen is becoming more involved and imaginative, and cooking is becoming less of a chore and more of a pastime.

Future Development 

Sensor-Based Smart Oven System to Enhance Cooking Safety [source]

Rami Yared, and Bessam Abdulrazak, 

Recent developments in sensor technologies provide flexible, intelligent systems aimed at improving safety. Smart sensing in ambient intelligence systems makes it possible to enhance cooking safety, which is crucial for senior citizens. Consequently, they embarked on a project to create a clever oven system. To choose the most suitable sensor, we researched the main dangers associated with ovens and examined the features and fundamental functioning principles of the available sensors. In this work, we analyze the sensors employed and provide the outcomes of tests conducted on each sensor in actual cooking situations.

Many fascinating new inventions are being developed right now, and smart ovens are getting increasingly popular. Voice control, the capacity to connect to the internet and download new recipes, and even smart sensors that can alter cooking times and temperatures automatically will likely be features of smart ovens in the future. Furthermore, we may anticipate further advanced features that will enable smarter and more effective cooking, such as built-in sensors that can identify the kind of food being cooked and alter the cooking process appropriately. In the future, it may even be possible to operate an oven using a smartphone and get useful culinary advice, making cooking simpler and more effective.

The next-generation consumer microwave oven [source]

Solid-State Radio Frequency (RF) transistors may eventually replace magnetrons in home microwave ovens. These new ovens might be more compact and energy-efficient. They can precisely cook food in previously unseen ways for consumers because they are closed-loop devices. 

There are two possible uses for this new technology: the stove might function as a warming appliance just like present appliances. The new technology might also be applied to the oven to create a high-end cooking tool. The greatest sector to utilize this technology would be the food industry.

The solid-state RF system block diagram is shown above. It is possible to replace an 1100 W magnetron with a 500 W RF arrangement, making these devices potentially more energy-efficient. Since the method does not require a turntable, a reduced oven footprint is possible.

Additionally, multiple food items can be cooked simultaneously in an RF oven to the right temperature.

Present-day consumer-market Solid-State RF ovens

Since the start of 2022, two solid-state RF systems have been commercially accessible in the US. The first is the Ibex, a multipurpose oven designed for the restaurant industry.

Ibex, created by ITW Food Equipment Group, is priced at about $18,000. Users may initiate the cooking process with just two touches thanks to the touch panel design of the oven. Users can add their own recipes, perhaps with help from Ibex, and the cooking hours are embedded into the system. Before this year, ITW promoted and tested the oven. They guarantee greater outcomes while baking bread and cooking various types of meat. They assert that their baking is completed four times quicker than other commercial combination ovens and that the uniformity of their meat cooking results in a 30% greater output.

The second oven is a Miele Dialog multipurpose wall oven designed for residential use. Their RF technology is provided by the Israeli business Goji Food Solutions. The oven, which costs about $10,000, is created for the market for high-end gourmet cuisine. This hybrid electric/RF oven promises to cook food faster than conventional ovens. A veal tenderloin cooked in beeswax, frozen fish cooked in a block of ice, and salmon cooked with half of the filet covered in aluminum foil are just a few of the unusual example recipes that can be found online.

Solid-State RF ovens perform better when the user can specify the sort of food that is in the cavity. Both products guarantee strong company assistance to help users get the most out of their ovens.
