AI oven cooks steak in 90 seconds

Perfecta, called the world's first AI oven, can cook steaks in 90-180 seconds depending on doneness requirements.

"We noticed that people were having difficulty and inconsistent cooking of steak. The meat was always overcooked, dry and took a long time," said Suraj Sudera, the "father" of Perfecta and a recent engineering graduate from the University of California. Aston University in Birmingham, said.

Perfecta is produced by the British company Seergrills, and has a retail price of 3,500 USD (85 million VND). According to Sudera, the oven integrates exclusive AI NeuralFire technology, using dual infrared burners combined with machine learning algorithms to identify the piece of meat put into the machine, then cook it "to perfection" according to the user's needs. use.

According to Wooden Skillet , grilling steak on a charcoal or gas stove usually requires a temperature of about 260 degrees Celsius or higher, horizontally and flipping back and forth. Perfecta is different when grilled vertically. The user will touch the touch screen and select the degree of doneness. The propane burner emits infrared rays, then cooks the meat evenly and without turning, as opposed to traditional grilling.

Sudera said grilling combined with AI will produce a piece of meat that retains its flavor, while fat from the meat dripping onto the tray will not cause burning - a factor that can dry out the meat and cook unevenly. "It's important that the machine optimizes the Maillard reaction conditions - which are preferred by professional chefs," says Sudera.

The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between proteins and sugars that gives foods their brown color and unique flavor. Some characteristics of the Maillard reaction include "perfect ripeness on the outside and inside and perfect moisturizing ability".

In addition to steak, Perfecta can grill 50 other foods, such as chicken, fish and pizza.
