LOUISVILLE, Ky., February 27, 2024 – GE Profile™ is introducing a new over-the-air software upgrade to owners of select wall ovens with in-oven cameras with Cookcam™ AI. The new innovative AI feature recognizes what is being cooked and automates the rest. Harnessing the images of the in-oven cameras, it expertly identifies your food and recommends the best Precision Cooking Mode, ensuring great results every time.
Once the food is placed in the oven and the door is shut, the camera takes images[1] of the oven cavity and uses AI and machine learning to detect and identify the food. Within a few seconds, the oven will chime and recommend a specific Precision Cooking Mode on the oven’s LCD touchscreen and cooking is underway with just a few taps on the screen.
Cookcam™ AI will first roll out for some of the most popular items cooked in the oven, including Turkey, Cookies, Pizza, Cakes and Brownies. Home cooks and bakers can now start cooking faster without the hassle of researching cook times, knowing whether to bake or roast, or setting a timer. Precision Cooking Modes use a smart system that automatically tracks progress, modifies temperatures and adjusts cook times. These are tested thousands of times by GE Appliances food scientists, so users can be confident in the results and avoid hovering over the oven to check if it’s done.
“GE Profile continues to look at how cooking technology can make our lives easier in the kitchen,” said Rachael Schwartz, executive director of built-in cooking, director of at GE Appliances. “By combining artificial intelligence and Precision Cooking Modes, we’re streamlining our user experience and taking the guesswork out, so you get consistent and reliable results for every occasion from a Thanksgiving holiday to a birthday cake to a weeknight pizza. We are just getting started and look forward to continuing to introduce new more food types in the future.”
Led by GE Profile™, Cookcam™ AI will also be available on select CAFÉ™ wall ovens at the end of Q1, with additional food types to follow. For those select dual wall ovens, this functionality is available for the top oven.
