For those nights when even a fully stocked fridge doesn’t make cooking palatable, ThinQ Recipe will also work with LG’s Scan to Cook feature, which sends cooking instructions to your appliances for frozen meals. That’s made possible by LG’s partnership with Foodspace Technology, an AI-food startup.
And some appliances, of course — LG also announced this week a new oven-microwave duo that’ll operate seamlessly with the ThinQ Recipe service. The LG InstaView Double Oven Range is exactly what it sounds like: a double-doored oven that allows users to knock twice on the glass for a view of what’s inside. The oven includes all the modern trimmings you’d expect, like convection technology, an air fry mode, and an air sous vide mode. (Did anyone else not know that last one was possible?)
The new Over-The-Range Microwave also connects to LG’s ThinQ app and includes LG’s Steam Cook technology to “prepare foods that are juicier, healthier, and tastier. It’s supposedly very easy to clean and includes futuristic venting technology to make your house less smelly when you use it.
LG’s tech prowess is giving it a huge boost in the modern appliance market. While other companies focus on personalized aesthetics, LG is leveraging top-notch performance and convenience features to stand out. And it’s doing so in a way that’s not creepy and invasive, as far as we can tell.
