    FFS an air fryer is a heating element, fan, and thermostat.

    Why are any of them being built with online connectivity and data harvesting capabilities in the first place?!

      “hey Google, preheat the oven to 350°”

      It’d be nice to be able to do that while my hands are dirty doing something else, instead of stopping and cleaning them so I don’t put salmonella on the oven knobs.

          Sometimes I forget. It would also be useful if I’m not in the kitchen and want to start it without having to go there and back to what I was doing while waiting for it to heat, if it’s something like a frozen pizza that doesn’t take much prep time.
