Someone Got Doom Running on a Kitchen Pressure Cooker

Okay so I saw this and had to share. Remember how everyone's been getting Doom to run on literally everything? Pregnancy tests, tractors, that weird smart fridge at Best Buy? Well, someone just topped all of that by getting it working on a Krups Cook4Mec pressure cooker.

The mad scientist behind this is a YouTuber who basically tore apart the cooker's touchscreen control system, dumped all the firmware, and completely rewrote it. We're not talking about some janky port here either. From what I can see in the footage, this thing runs smooth. Like, suspiciously smooth for kitchen hardware that was designed to make pot roast.

Here's what gets me about this whole trend. These smart appliances are basically just tiny computers with really specific jobs. The Cook4Mec has enough processing power to handle pressure curves and temperature algorithms, so why not demon-slaying? The real kicker is that this cooker probably costs more than an actual gaming device that could run Doom properly. But that's not the point, is it?

What really impresses me is the technical work involved. This isn't just loading an app. The YouTuber had to reverse engineer proprietary firmware, figure out the display drivers, map controls to the cooker's interface, and somehow make it all work without bricking a $200 kitchen appliance. That takes serious skills.

The best part? You can technically pause your game to actually cook dinner, then jump right back into E1M1. Though I'm guessing warranty support might have some questions if your pressure cooker stops working after a particularly intense speedrun attempt.
