This $279 'Keurig for food' will replace every cooking appliance you own

A futuristic new kitchen appliance that's being called the "Keurig for food" could forever change home cooking.

Called Tovala, the countertop machine is a broiler, steamer, oven, microwave, and toaster in one.

It's meant to replace all major cooking appliances and eliminate most of the work involved in making healthy meals.

The Tovala is launching on Kickstarter Tuesday at an "early-bird" price of $199 for a limited number of machines.

The price of the machine will eventually increase to up to $279, Tovala founder David Rabie told Business Insider. The machines will start shipping out before the end of the year.

"Our goal is to sit on every countertop in America and bring fresh food to everyone," Rabie said in an interview.

Rabie recently stopped by Business Insider's office to show us how the machine works.
