For cooking, LG will introduce the Over-the-Range Microwave and Slide-in Double Oven Induction Range. The microwave is equipped with three cameras, allowing you to check on your food without letting out the heat. Plus, the company suggests that content creators could use the feature to capture timelapse footage as their dishes cook. On top of this, the microwave features a 27-in 1080p display with built-in speakers and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to stream content in the kitchen.

Alternatively, the display can be used to control linked smart home devices. Like the fridge, the induction range is said to be able to intelligently recognise food items and suggest recipes accordingly. It is unclear how much the LG Signature French Door Refrigerator with T-OLED door panel or the Signature Over-the-Range Microwave and Slide-in Double Oven Induction Range will cost.

The three cameras and AI-powered food detection almost reads like satire.

And all of this tech is just asking for problems way down the road. My expectation is that kitchen appliances should work ~20 years. I would have much preferred if they spent all this extra tech-related costs on improving long-term usage life.

It also really does not solve anything either. It's just overpriced gadgets that will likely end up as part of a bot farm or early trash because more components = more things that can and will eventually break.
