WiFi Enabled Slow Cooker

While walking through Walmart a few weeks ago I noticed a Black+Decker WiFi enabled slow cooker. My initial thought was what a great idea - being able to remotely start dinner or adjust the cooking parameters is really convenient. The second thing being the security issues these IoT devices present - an always-on device on your home network phoning home through an unknown service with no updates or transparency - not to mention the eventual abandonment of the services/apps supporting it.
