"Agari feels like a fair amount of overkill when compared to your regular oven, but then again, microwaves were fairly overkill when they launched too. However, it's been half a century since microwaves became a thing, and now the new buzzword is AI. Agari, however, doesn't use AI the way you expect it to. It performs a quick 3D scan of your food to judge its size, shape, and even understand what the food is, using AI."
"It then automatically executes a two-stage cooking process that mimics what high-end restaurants do but with zero input from you. It pressure-cooks at precise temperatures (often around 84°C for vegetables, or 50-65°C for meats) to get that edge-to-edge doneness you'd expect from sous vide, then instantly transitions to a 285°C (550°F) sear that delivers a perfect crust in under a minute. The result is restaurant-quality reverse searing without the skill, timing, or multiple pieces of equipment that process normally requires."
Agari AI Cooker combines pressure cooking, precise temperature control, and instantaneous high-heat searing to automate restaurant-style reverse searing. The device uses AI to perform a quick 3D scan of food to judge size, shape, and type, then runs a two-stage program with no user input. The cooker pressure-cooks at targeted temperatures (often around 84°C for vegetables or 50–65°C for meats) to achieve edge-to-edge doneness, then switches to a 285°C (550°F) sear to create a crust in under a minute. The system replaces multiple pieces of equipment and specialist timing with a single automated unit. Designer: David Velan.
