You simply select a recipe through an app, load your protein or sides onto a tray, and set a level of doneness-the oven takes care of the rest. Thermometer probes and heat-resistant internal cameras work together to monitor cooking progress and make adjustments as needed, ensuring your dishes come out to your desired internal temperatures each time.
Like their traditional counterparts, smart ovens use convective and radiant heat transfer for cooking. This relies on heating elements to slowly warm up a chamber and circulate hot air off the walls. We've used this inefficient method of cooking for decades. Temperatures are often capped at a 500°F maximum and tend to bake unevenly, often fluctuating 30° above and below a set target.
The Brava smart oven stands out because it uses light to direct heat straight into the food and the tray beneath it, as opposed to chamber walls. This efficiency allows the Brava to utilize significantly more cooking power, with rapid, precise temperature adjustments and independent cooking zones.
That means you can place up to three separate ingredients on the Brava's tray and heat them up at different temperatures simultaneously. It's more convenient than a traditional oven because you don't have to swap separate pans in for proteins and sides at different points. And its speed enhances flavor by locking in moisture, yet it boasts impressive searing capability. Brava makes cooking fresh, restaurant-quality meals as fast and easy as popping a TV dinner into a microwave.

Fresh Fingerprints on an Ancient Statue
A CLAY FIGURINE HAS SPENT MILLENNIA incomplete, waiting at the bottom of a lake for its long-dead craftsman to finish the Iron Age-era statuette.
Quantum Entanglement in Our Brains
IT HAS LONG BEEN ARGUED THAT THE human brain is similar to a computer. But in reality, that's selling the brain pretty short.
The Tools of Copernicus
WAY BACK IN 1508, WITH ONLY LIMited tools at his disposal, Nicolaus Copernicus developed a celestial model of a heliocentric planetary system, which he described in hist landmark work De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. It was a complete overhaul of our conception of the universe-one that, unfortunately, earned him the ire of the Catholic church for decades after his death-and forever changed the way we look at the stars.
Building a Sixth-Generation Bomber Raptor
THE GLOBAL COMBAT AIR Programme (GCAP)-a project by the U.K., Italy, and Japan to develop a sixth-generation stealth fighter-has been busy at the drawing board reshaping its vision of the future of air warfare. And judging by the new concept model unveiled at this year's Farnborough air show, that future has big triangular wings.
The Electroweak Force of the Early Universe
TODAY, THE UNIVERSE AS WE KNOW IT IS governed by four fundamental forces: the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, and gravity.
This Ancient Fossil With a Brain and Guts
WE KNOW WHAT FOSSILS LOOK like. For example, typical dinosaur fossils are bones turned to stone and preserved from the passage of time, located, if we're particularly lucky, in large collections that can be reassembled to represent the beast they used to prop up in their entirety.
