One of the hardest parts about making homemade cakes, cookies, bread, or even meringues isn't the actual baking. It's not the weighing of the ingredients. And it's definitely not the mixing — we've got a stand mixer for that. It's knowing when your food is actually ready to come out of the warm oven and onto your room-temperature countertop. If you're anything like me and tend to leave foods in the oven for a little longer, just to be on the safe side, then things are about to be switched up big time in your kitchen.
Among the releases of new tech for 2026 at CES is the new LG Signature Oven range that will prove itself to be especially handy for bakers. Fitted with LG's AI Core-Tech inside, aptly known as Gourmet AI, each oven has a specially-designed camera sitting inside it to monitor your food at all times while it's switched on and warm. Once your bake looks perfectly browned, it'll alert the app on your phone, ready for you to check and remove from the oven. Talk about taking the guesswork out of baking.
