Special data base software accesses a particular recipe, and then sends the cooking instructions to the Vertex Vortex. Apple turnovers were a specialty of the oven, which was never commercially successful. The oven had a robotic arm to accomplish the flipping of the turnover, but the arm had a tendency to get stuck in a programming loop, which would eventually flip the entire oven off the counter.
