Doom Conquers the Kitchen: Classic Shooter Runs on a Smart Pressure Cooker

In a demonstration of technological ingenuity (and perhaps, boredom), a YouTuber has successfully ported Doom to a Krups Cook4Mec smart pressure cooker. This feat was achieved by dumping and reflashing the firmware on the appliance's touchscreen control hardware. This means you could, theoretically, frag demons while waiting for your stew to cook!

The process involved gaining access to the underlying system of the Cook4Mec and modifying it to run the classic first-person shooter. While the details of the process are technical, the result is undeniably impressive. This once again proves the seemingly endless possibilities of running Doom on virtually anything with a screen and processing power.
