Chef IQ has officially launched the IQ MiniOven, a smart, compact oven that offers 11 cooking functions and hundreds of presets for flexibility and streamlined meal preparation.
This launch represents the company’s commitment to creating a connected cooking ecosystem to simplify meal prep and empower home cooks with a combination of technology, app integration and versatility, Chef IQ said.
The oven reaches a maximum temperature of 500°F and has a high-powered DC motor to move air quickly to enhance its air-frying capabilities. The convection system is made to ensure even cooking and crisping to deliver consistent, restaurant-quality results.
The IQ MiniOven comes with a range of accessories, including a ceramic-coated baking tray, wire rack, air fryer/dehydrator rack, egg tray and mini glide rack. Designed to take the guesswork out of cooking, the oven uses illuminated rack lights to guide users to optimal rack placements for different dishes. It features an intuitive digital display and a built-in speaker with real-time audible cooking alerts that can act as a virtual sous chef, the company said. The oven has a 25-quart interior and can fit a 13″ pizza or a 9″ x 13″ baking tray, while designed to be compact enough to reside on a countertop
The IQ MiniOven is the first product that connects with IQ Sense, the company’s smart wireless meat thermometer, allowing users to monitor food temperatures in real time.
“The IQ MiniOven represents the next evolution in smart cooking, bringing versatility, precision and convenience into one compact device. By seamlessly integrating with our IQ Sense Smart Thermometer, we’re making it easier than ever for home cooks to achieve perfect results with minimal effort,” said Ralph Newhouse, CEO and founder of Chef IQ.
The IQ MiniOven is available now on Chef IQ’s website and Walmart, retailing for $499.99. Additional retailers, including Amazon, will also carry the IQ MiniOven in the coming months.
