Have you ever watched a meals scene on TV and thought, wow, I want I might cook dinner that at residence? Maybe it was the il timpano in “Big Night,” or the meat bourguignon in “Julie & Julia.” Whatever your show-inspired craving, you’re in luck — when you purchase a 2025 Samsung TV, that’s.
During its CES 2025 press convention in Las Vegas on Monday, Samsung introduced Samsung Food, a brand new characteristic on its TVs that leverages the corporate’s AI processor to acknowledge meals in your display screen and discover a recipe for it.
If Samsung Food sounds acquainted, that’s in all probability as a result of the model has been round some time. Samsung purchased the meals app Whisk in 2019, and rebranded it to Samsung Food in 2023. Today, the Samsung Food app for iOS and Android, which provides instruments like a meal planner and AI-guided cooking steps, may recommend recipes based mostly on an image — when you fork over $7 per 30 days for the premium model.
The Samsung Food expertise constructed for TV is a little more restricted in what it may possibly do, unsurprisingly. But along with recommending recipes based mostly on what it “sees,” Samsung Food on TV can present the progress of grocery and takeout deliveries you place via the Samsung Food cell app.
In a press launch, Samsung calls out the app’s capacity to construct a buying checklist for elements based mostly on what’s in your fridge. “It’s really the last word AI sous chef,” the corporate boldly proclaims.
Samsung Food’s screen-to-recipe software is intriguing. But we’ll should see if it lives as much as the advertising hype. Recipe app SideChef’s AI software to show photographs into recipes leaves one thing to be desired, and fashionable AI summarizers and chatbots like ChatGPT don’t carry out a lot better. (Glue pizza, anybody?)
Then there’s the truth that AI received’t do the precise cooking for you. As somebody who’s too lazy to meal prep as of late, a lot much less cook dinner an as-seen-on-TV dish, that’s in all probability a dealbreaker. But if baking the kouign amann from “The Great British Bake Off” floats your boat, these could be the TVs for you.
You’ll discover Samsung Food on Samsung’s upcoming QN90F, QN80F, and QN70F fashions.
