Automating Meals Using the Brava Oven with Travis Rea and Annie Garcia Lucey


Listen Later

Imagine if you could snap your fingers and have an oven that generates recipes, cooks at the speed of light, and reminds you when your food is done so it never burns. The Brava oven uses pulses of light to cook meals faster than you can order bad takeout. 

Travis Rea, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Annie Garcia Lucey, Director of Recipe Development and Culinary Content at Brava Home Inc. both use the Brava oven in their homes. It can be utilized by experienced cooks as well as people who are intimidated by cooking. As a trained chef from the restaurant world, Travis was skeptical of kitchen gadgets but became a convert after tasting a meal made in a Brava oven. 

In this episode, Travis and Annie talk to Jen and Seth Smiley about how the Brava smart oven works, how technology fits into clean eating, and fun recipe ideas.
