Integration of a tablet computer and/or flat panel display with an oven brings numerous added functionalities to an oven that is not currently possible with current stand alone oven. It creates a new kitchen appliance that can be used for cooking, entertainment, shopping and provides a platform for displaying information and advertisement to the user. Since most kitchens have limited kitchen counter space, integration of the tablet computer/display with an oven can save counter space and provide the ability to watch TV or streaming videos on the oven. This combination can become the central entertainment and communication, as well as control hub in a kitchen for interfacing with other smart appliances as part of Internet of Things (IOTs). This new appliance can be a portal to present information and advertisement to the user with a more user friendly interface for programming the oven, automatically entering cooking instructions, or downloading applications/recipes for using the oven.
