Hmmm... I wonder if it would make sense to build
a pressure oven. It would be like a pressure cooker,
but it would use a pump to generate pressure so it
could cook stuff at higher temperature than a pressure
cooker and and without steaming the food. You probably
wouldn't be able to have a window in the door, but
there could be a camera so you could look at the food
on a display, and the display could be on the door.

Ah, I see a problem. If you had a pot full of liquid
in the pressure oven and it cracked, the liquid leaking
on the floor of the oven could instantly vaporize,
resulting in a sudden pressure increase. At a minimum,
the stove would have to have a blow-out plate to
relieve the pressure, but even this might not be
an adequate safety measure.
