hi I'm Andrew Gebhardt for CNET I'm at GES micro factory called first built here in Louisville Kentucky that drilling here is the factory working hard to invent cool new things like this line cook oven this just your standard built in wall oven I cept you can scan the barcode of your food and have it cook it for you the idea pick up a frozen pizza at a grocery store scan it into your oven put it into the oven and its gonna know exactly how long to cook the thing to make the pizza the way you want it to down the road GE hopes to expand this technology to a number of markets they want to put this line cook ability on their advanced ium microwaves even on regular microwaves so that any food that has a barcode you scan it in and your appliance is going to know how to cook it that's still a little ways away the technology is still new and the first step is gonna be to release it to a small market for it is essentially beta testing during this beta testing interested parties will be able to help GE collect the food it needs for its database and collect information about that food so it's gonna know not only how you want to cook a pizza normally but how should you cook a pizza if you wanted a little extra crispy eventually lime coke hopes to be smart enough to not just use the recipe on the packaging but to also be able to fit to your exact taste needs to do that yeah they're gonna need a big database so they have a lot of work in front of them ideally it'll also be able to combine what it knows about the recipe to what it senses from your food all of that from customizable options to advanced iam integration is still pie in the sky at this point but what they've got is a cool prototype that should go out to a small beta community very soon and allow you to scan a barcode and automatically cook your food with the line cook foreseen it I'm Andrew Gebhardt
