SMART OVENS USE A MIX OF SENSORS AND SOFTS ware to cook food to your liking

Brava's Glass Smart Oven Cooks at the Speed of Light

You simply select a recipe through an app, load your protein or sides onto a tray, and set a level of doneness-the oven takes care of the rest. Thermometer probes and heat-resistant internal cameras work together to monitor cooking progress and make adjustments as needed, ensuring your dishes come out to your desired internal temperatures each time.

Like their traditional counterparts, smart ovens use convective and radiant heat transfer for cooking. This relies on heating elements to slowly warm up a chamber and circulate hot air off the walls. We've used this inefficient method of cooking for decades. Temperatures are often capped at a 500°F maximum and tend to bake unevenly, often fluctuating 30° above and below a set target.

The Brava smart oven stands out because it uses light to direct heat straight into the food and the tray beneath it, as opposed to chamber walls. This efficiency allows the Brava to utilize significantly more cooking power, with rapid, precise temperature adjustments and independent cooking zones.

That means you can place up to three separate ingredients on the Brava's tray and heat them up at different temperatures simultaneously. It's more convenient than a traditional oven because you don't have to swap separate pans in for proteins and sides at different points. And its speed enhances flavor by locking in moisture, yet it boasts impressive searing capability. Brava makes cooking fresh, restaurant-quality meals as fast and easy as popping a TV dinner into a microwave.
