I'm not much of a cook so when my wife is out of town things get pretty grim when it comes to mealtimes.  With the programming in the Advantium now even I can prepare perfect steaks, chicken, hamburgers, or darn near anything else.  If you want to cook something that isn't preprogrammed you can save the settings upon completion for the future.  My wife says that if we had two of these we could get rid of our oven and she's probably right.
