Inspired by its popular InstaView refrigerators, LG is now introducing InstaView smart ranges that let users check in on the cooking process without having to open the door. Just by knocking twice on the oven's glass window, users will be able to light up the interior of the oven and get a sense of how their food is looking.

Knowing that home chefs often have their hands dirty, LG also made it possible for the InstaView smart ranges to be illuminated with the gentle tap of an elbow, knee or foot. Thanks to this way to check in on food that's cooking in the oven, all members of the family can safely check on meals without the risks that come with opening the hot oven door.
