Oliver automates all the steps in cooking a recipe for you.
Oliver doesn’t just throw everything together all at once, heat and hope for the best.
Our smart cooking robot releases ingredients into the cooking chamber, regulates temperature, switches between cooking techniques, and uses an internal mixing arm to keep food moving so everything is cooked to perfection. It’s an automated cooking appliance that follows a recipe’s various steps in the right sequence at the right times.

Take the guesswork out of cooking.
Lots of things can mean the difference between delicious and disaster when cooking. Were ingredients added at the right time and in the right order? Did the heat increase or decrease the right amount at the right time to change from sautéing to simmering? Should the dish be stirred constantly or at specific intervals?
