it's always helpful to have an extra set of hands in the kitchen especially around Thanksgiving so GE appliances has created a new skill in partnership with Amazon Alexa to help make cooking a little bit easier and hands-free GES line of Wi-Fi connected appliances now connect with Amazon Alexa which is Amazon's virtual assistant here's how it works GE created a skill called Geneva so you can ask your Amazon Alexa connected device such as an echo or an echo dot to ask Geneva to do something with your oven or refrigerator in this case we tested an induction range with our Amazon echo dot does it sound a little bit confusing let me show you how it works Alexa asked Geneva what the status of my oven is your oven is currently often is ready to be controlled and it's also handy around Thanksgiving Alexa asked Geneva to preheat my oven for turkey you'd like me to set your oven convection roast at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for turkey right yes all right I recommend adjusting your oven racks so that the turkey will be centered in the oven if you have an oven food probe this is a great time to use it as you can see the GE induction range works really well with Amazon Alexa you just have to be very particular about which phrases you use because she can be a little bit tricky when it comes to picking up on exactly what you want Geneva and Alexa to do together and Wi-Fi connectivity Assad this is actually a really great oven because of its fast induction cooktop it can boil a huge pot of water in less than six minutes and it's baked times and evenness in baking biscuits during our test was also really great now this evan is two thousand dollars which is a little on the high end especially for a free-standing range like this but that gets you induction power even baking and some Wi-Fi connectivity that will really help connect your kitchen to the greater smart home you
