Appliance maker Jenn-Air is working to incorporate user-friendly technology into the design of its wall oven through a partnership with Nest.
Jenn-Air announced the collaborative effort March 17 at the Architectural Digest Design Show in New York, where brands showcase the latest in luxury products and home design trends. The introduction of Jenn-Air?s connected wall oven is expected to become available this summer, with more details being unveiled as the launch nears.

Easy bake oven for the modern world

The wall oven integration concept will focus on two key benefits for consumers: peace of mind and comfort. Many consumers are familiar with the fear involved with being unsure if they turned off the oven before leaving the house, and for others the convenience of preheating the oven from afar may be appealing. Homeowners who install Jenn-Air?s connected oven will have access to an update for the Jenn-Air WiFi mobile application, currently available for iOS and Android devices.
The app also includes the Jenn-Air Culinary Center, an interactive and image-driven system that syncs to the connected wall oven?s cooking system, a series of precise algorithms. In addition, it features a chef-tested cooking program that gives home cooks ?the ultimate control? in achieving desired results.
Also, the Culinary Center provides suggestions for more than 30 foods and is broken into segments such as food category, type, desired doneness and the type of cook or bakeware used.
