An Oven That Multi­tasks

Inspired by the versatility of a KitchenAid stand ­mixer—which can take on different attachments that allow it to make all sorts of foods—the Smart Oven is here to make more than your average sheet-pan dinner. The oven offers a power outlet for attachments that allow home cooks to make pizzas on a quick-heating baking stone; steam entire dinners for a family of four; or grill the perfect cut of meat without stepping outside. Like many “smart” household items, the tech-­enabled oven also allows users to monitor their meals and remotely control the attachments through a smartphone app or virtual assistant. A touchscreen on the oven even provides instructions for a variety of recipes. Double and single versions of the oven launched in the spring of 2019, starting at $3,199, and a combination oven (which includes a microwave) will be released in 2020. —Mahita Gajanan
