Samsung Flex Door Oven with AI Camera

Despite the cost-of-living crunch, time-poor Australians are turning to takeaway lunches during the working week to satisfy their lunchtime cravings. Opting for convenience over cost and spending an average of $17 each time, Australians are parting with over $4,000 per year on takeaway lunches, alone[3]. With 45% of Australians seeking to take their culinary skills to new heights[4], Samsung is harnessing AI to provide more tools to help them cook easily and efficiently at home.

The Flex Door Oven with AI camera, marks a significant expansion in Samsung connected home experience. An example being Samsung Food’s 160,000 recipe suggestions, helping the 43% of Australians that lack inspiration when planning meals[5]. Through the powerful combination of SmartThings[6] connectivity, AI and timesaving features like Dual Cook Flex – the oven can help home chefs of all levels combat common pain points faced in the kitchen, and ultimately bring meaningful innovation to Australian homes.

The Flex Door Oven with AI Camera is here to help home chefs explore new recipes, save time, make healthier choices and avoid food waste. By utilising AI with hardware like the internal camera, it can provide guidance and support in the kitchen. A highlight is Sense Inside, which can recognise ingredients and even detect burning, providing peace of mind for less confident cooks and help avoid wasted food and time from burnt dishes. Almost half of Australians are interested in using AI to reduce their food waste[7], aiming to reduce the 7.6m tonnes of food wasted each year[8].
