Typhur's Sync Oven Named to TIME's List of Best Inventions of 2026

Smart Countertop Oven Featuring an Innovative Built-In Wireless Thermometer Recognized in the Food & Drink Category

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, TIME revealed its list of Best Inventions of 2026, naming Typhur's Sync Oven among 300 extraordinary innovations changing our lives. The annual list celebrates inventions that stand out for their originality, efficacy, ambition and impact.

Designed to help home cooks achieve more consistent results with less guesswork, the Sync Oven combines countertop oven versatility with precision temperature monitoring. Its built-in wireless thermometer tracks food temperature during cooking, helping users monitor food temperature without repeatedly opening the oven to check.

The Sync Oven offers 12 cooking functions and a temperature range of 85°F to 450°F, making it versatile enough for everything from dehydrating to high-heat roasting and baking. Its integrated thermometer features five sensors and NIST-verified accuracy of ±0.5°F, giving home cooks greater insight into food temperature and doneness.

The oven also connects with the Typhur app, where users can use Typhur AI to generate recipes and cooking settings by taking a photo of their ingredients or describing what they want to make. Users can then adjust portions, flavors and desired doneness before sending their settings to the oven.

"For decades, countertop ovens have worked much the same way. You set the time and temperature, but you're still left guessing when your food is actually done. We wanted to change that," said Allen Fung, Managing Director of Typhur. "By integrating wireless temperature monitoring directly into the cooking process, the Sync Oven represents a step forward in how countertop ovens operate. Our goal has always been to make cooking smarter, easier and more reliable. Being recognized by TIME as one of the Best Inventions of 2026 is a tremendous honor for our team and validates our commitment to developing innovations that solve real problems for everyday cooks."

The Sync Oven retails for $299.99 and is available at Typhur.com, Amazon.com, Target.com, BestBuy.com and select retailers.
