Amazon wants to put Alexa in every room of your home — that much is clear. It’s the main reason the company offers the Echo in so many different form factors. The kitchen has been a key piece in that puzzle, but aside from some third-party refrigerators from companies like LG, Amazon hasn’t made too many inroad on that front.

Starting this week, however, Alexa’s learning to cook. Amazon just added cooking to its list of Smart Skill APIs, a feature that will initially play itself out on microwave ovens. The company has already been working with Whirlpool to bring the functionality to its line of microwaves. Those devices are currently listed as “coming soon” — so who knows, maybe we’ll even see some of them at CES next week.
