A YouTuber has managed to run Doom on a Krups Cook4Mec smart pressure cooker after dumping and reflashing the firmware on the appliance’s touchscreen control hardware. Documented in a teardown and reverse-engineering video, the YouTuber shows the game running locally on the cooker’s display without modifying the electronics responsible for heating or safety systems.
The starting point was the built-in Wi-Fi of the Cook4Me. While browsing the settings menu, the creator noticed that “the first three bytes are from Espressif… so there’s most likely an ESP inside.” That observation prompted a full teardown of the appliance.
