Samsung Zipel oven is controlled via Android app

Smartphones work great with other smart devices in our home, and today we have another smart device for your kitchen that can be controlled via smartphone.






Samsung Zipel oven is probably one of the first smart ovens, and unlike other ovens, Samsung Zipel oven can be remotely controlled via special Android app. We have to notice that this oven won’t do the cooking instead of you, but it comes with presets for 160 different dishes, that will make the cooking process somewhat easier. We’re guessing that this application can figure out the right temperature and the duration of pre-heating for your dishes, and according to Samsung, this smart oven can detect how many calories does your current dish have. In addition, Samsung Zipel oven comes with voice guidance, and best of all, you can clean it easily thanks to the ceramic coating.
Samsung Zipel oven sounds incredible, however, it’s currently available only in South Korea, while the pricing remains a mystery.
