Agari: Michelin Chef Quality Results at a Push of a Button

Michelin Chef Quality Results at a Push of a Button

Cook 3x Faster with Agari

Agari combines AI, 3D scanning, and breakthrough pressure technology to deliver juicy, perfectly seared food—faster than ever before with just a push of a button.

Great Cooking Shouldn’t Be This Hard

Premium ingredients. Perfect recipe. Expert tips. Still ending up with overcooked meat and dried-out fish.

Simply insert food, and press start

The Science behind Perfect Results

AI scans and recognizes your food, then automatically calculates and executes the perfect cook—from gentle heat to golden sear.

Our breakthrough pressure-steam system ensures sous-vide level tenderness, then automatically creates a perfect golden crust.

Medium rare, steakhouse crust

Never dry, always golden

Perfectly tender, naturally crisp
 

As Seen On

Agari: First Reactions

Better Than Sous Vide: No Bags, No Wait

Cooking with pressure reduces cook time by more than 3X compared to a conventional steam oven and helps to retain natural juices better than any other cooking method.

Zero to Sear in 60 Seconds

Our breakthrough double-wall technology does the impossible: transitioning from precise, low-temperature cooking to intense searing in under a minute. Paired with AI-powered scanning, every element works in harmony to deliver one thing: perfect results, automatically.

Agari’s precision curve maintains the perfect gentle cook before achieving an ideal sear—something no other device can match. 

This is why Master Chef quality results are now possible at home.

Beyond Proteins: Vegetables, Perfected

Using precision 84°C/183.2ºF cooking and an instant reverse sear at 285ºC/550ºF, Agari unlocks peak flavors in vegetables in just 60 seconds.

What you’ll taste: 

• A crispy crunch on the outside, tender inside 
• Consistent doneness from edge to edge 
• Restaurant-worthy results, every single time

Inside Agari’s Technology 

1. AI-Powered Analysis Two precision cameras and an infrared sensor create a complete 3D model of your food, allowing Agari to calculate the exact time and temperature needed for perfect results.

2. Next-Generation Pressure System While other devices force you to choose between speed (pressure cookers) or precision (sous vide), Agari’s breakthrough enables both. Our unique sub-boiling pressure system cooks up to 3X faster while maintaining perfect temperature control.

3. Instant-Sear Technology Our patent-pending double-wall design achieves what was previously impossible: shifting from gentle cooking to searing temperature in under 60 seconds. The result? A perfect golden crust without compromising that juicy interior.

The Results That Will Change How You Think About Home Cooking 

Stop wasting money on mediocre take out. The average family spends $3,600/yr. On restaurant meals and delivery. Agari pays for itself in months while delivering superior quality. 

Get your kids to actually eat vegetables. When vegetables taste this good – crispy outside, perfect tender inside – even picky eaters ask for more. 

Eat healthier without sacrificing taste. Low temperature cooking preserves more vitamins and minerals while creating incredible flavours. Finally, ‘healthy’ and ‘delicious’ mean the same thing. 

Reclaim your evenings. Place food inside. Press one button. Come back to restaurant-quality meals. No monitoring, no flipping, no stress. 

Become the host everyone remembers. Serve dinner party guest food that rivals the best restaurants. Watch their faces when you tell them you “just pressed a button.”

Where We Are Today

After years of development, testing, and iteration, we now have a fully functional prototype built using production-grade industrial tooling. This is not a proof-of-concept or lab-only device—it’s a real, working product that does what we set out to achieve: cooks a variety of foods to restaurant-quality perfection with no guesswork or manual steps.

The AI Scanning Process: When the door closes, sensors trigger the scanning sequence. The top camera captures the first image to identify food type, followed by a side camera for the second angle. Our proprietary algorithm analyzes both photos to calculate the exact length, width, and height of the food.

Note: This video shows a working prototype to demonstrate our cooking technology and results. The final shipped product will feature complete finishing, refined design, and full consumer-ready packaging. This demonstration focuses on showcasing the core functionality and cooking performance of the Agari system.

This is precision cooking technology in action—from scanning to serving, completely automated.

In this demo, we’re cooking a seasoned spatchcock chicken breast from the grocery store.

From Kitchen Frustration to Breakthrough Innovation

We started with a simple question: Why can’t we get restaurant-quality food at home without spending years learning to cook like a chef?

Our answer: No cooking technology has ever automated the precise steps that create truly exceptional food—juicy on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside.

Professional chefs know the secret: techniques like sous-vide and reverse sear. Cook low and slow first, then finish with a blazing-hot sear. But these methods demand knowledge, equipment, and constant attention. Most home cooks give up and settle for mediocre results.

As engineers and inventors, we saw an opportunity. What if we could automate the entire process?

The Journey to the Agari Smart Cooker

We studied everything on the market—from home appliances to $25,000 commercial kitchen equipment. Our vision crystallized: a smart cooker that could see your food, calculate the perfect parameters, and execute restaurant techniques automatically.

We started small, retrofitting countertop pressure cookers with sensors and steam generators. We focused obsessively on chicken breasts—notoriously difficult to perfect—and achieved consistently juicy, flavourful results.

The Breakthrough: Zero to Sear in 60 Seconds

We discovered that traditional ovens waste enormous time and energy heating thick metal walls. Until those walls reach searing temperature, they actually cool the air, sabotaging your sear.

Our solution? A thin inner wall that heats instantly, surrounded by insulation, with a thicker outer wall containing the pressure. We could switch from 150°F to 550°F very quickly—without ever moving the food.

We proved our concept with a full working prototype built from a medical autoclave. Double walls, low-temperature pressure cooking, instant heat transitions—everything we’d envisioned.

Then came the real work: hundreds of chicken breasts. Each cook taught us something new. We refined our algorithms, perfected our timing, and eliminated every variable that could lead to disappointing results.
