A Flash Stove[1] was a cooking device used by Earth civilians. It was some form of "instant food" machine containing a synthesize button,[2] and was controllable by AIs in the network.[3] It is currently unknown how this stove synthesizes food. Despite the value of the invention, the art of cooking had not died out, and the average civilian is likely to own a regular stove and microwave oven.[4]
