It cooks for you and makes you GIFs too!
Thought smart kitchens only existed on TV? Nope.

Meet June, a smart oven that knows what you’re cooking and tells you how to cook it.
I met with CEO Matt Van Horn, cofounder of Zimride (now Lyft), and CTO Nikhil Bhogal (Apple, Motorola) in their San Francisco headquarters, to experience June for myself.
“We found ourselves cooking late at night and [came] up with the idea for June," said Van Horn said. "We know cooking’s hard, and we wanted to make it easier.”

The June oven uses a built-in camera to detect what’s inside and offers cooking suggestions based on its contents.
June recognizes different foods and offers suggestions on its built-in display. It can tell you exactly what temperature you should bake your food at and for how long. And at 1.0 cubic feet, it can fit a 12-inch pizza or a medium turkey.
How, you ask? Through image recognition. Inside of June is a heat-resistant camera that analyzes what you're cooking.
But it isn’t perfect. June can't detect sloppy homemade recipes just yet — just the basics: some meats (like tilapia), breads (like frozen pizza), vegetables (like brussel sprouts), and, of course, chocolate chip cookies.

For more complex cooking tasks like turkey, June contains a steel probe that knows when your food reaches a specific core temperature, so it's never overcooked.
Yay, poultry!
