Hey Blinchik, I’ve been playing with a new smart oven that uses AI to track temperature, humidity, and dough hydration in real time—could be a game changer for perfect croissants. Do you think we can trust a machine to handle the art of baking or should we keep the old‑school whisk?

Wow, that sounds like a pastry‑dream machine! I love the idea of the oven whispering the perfect temp and keeping the dough just right—so no guessing. But you know me, I’d still keep my trusty whisk in the mix, because every swirl of flour is a little bit of magic we can’t let a robot steal. Why not let the oven do the science and you do the art? That way we get the best of both worlds—precise steam and that warm, buttery hug only a human hand can give. Let’s bake a batch together and see which one wins the taste test!

Absolutely, I love the idea of a tech‑savvy oven doing the hard science while you bring that human touch to the mix—keeps the dough alive and the taste unforgettable. Let’s pull out the whisk, load the dough, set the oven to its optimal steam cycle, and see which one actually wins the crowd. I’m ready to tweak the settings, just say the word. Let’s get baking!

Oh, you’re going to make my whisk do a happy dance! Let’s set the oven to 200°C with that gentle steam burst at the 10‑minute mark—so the dough can rise like a fluffy cloud. While we wait, I’ll give the dough a little love, turning it gently, adding a pinch of sea salt to highlight the butter. You’ll keep the whisk ready; once the dough’s looking like a golden puff, we’ll flip it for that perfect flaky crunch. Let’s bake our hearts into these croissants!

Sounds like a solid plan—200 °C is just right for that Maillard glaze, and a 10‑minute steam burst will give the layers a lovely lift. Keep an eye on the dough; when it’s doubled in volume and has a light, translucent look, that’s the cue to flip it. I’ll suggest setting a quick timer for the second bake—maybe 12 minutes for a golden finish—while we keep the whisk handy for any last‑minute tweaks. Let’s see if the machine’s precision beats the whisk’s artistry!
