Suggestion:
Extreme Temperature Furnace:
This would basically be a very advanced furnace. It would have as purpose a few things:
1- Processing materials in a new way, allowing you to get new processed materials, for new features.
2- Helping Cooking-automation at the cost of ressources.
3- Incredible speed while cooking (about 3-5 faster than Induction furnace, for bigger EU cost per operation and without efficienty when reaching 100% of heat --> if you aim at minimizing energy consumption, it would still be better than mass overclocking normal furnace, even if it would also be slower).
For this purpose, it would havethe following caracteristics:
Heat increases by 1% in 10 sec, decreases by 1% every others second.
Energy consumption:
-While heat is increasing: 512*next percentage you'll reach (so if you're currently at 49%, it takes you 256 EU/t during the time you need to get 50%)
-While it's just keeping heat-level: 64*Heat percentage. (this one interfere with speed: Something*(Heatpercentage)², with 2-3 the I-Furnace Speed when both are at 100%)
Special effect: Can process 2 times dust while operating 1: as example, 1 Iron Dust + ETF --> 1 Refined Iron [or Steel ?] (could also work with your "carbonized" materials"
Of course there would be a button to chose the max Heat wanted. (So it would also be a furnace with adjustable speed!)
Ideas of special features:
Cooking glass (8) will give you Lens Block. This one can be used with Advanced-Thermal Solar Pannel, to make it produce (more) energy. Heat Level needed: 60% or more. See more details later.
Cooking ClayDust could give you ceramic, wich could be used as advanced-Nuclear (for example) components. Heat level needed: At least 70%
Only way of cooking Tungsten Ore/Dust from RP2 (the tungsten ore should also need the advanced macerator at least to be macerated) Heat Level needed: 100%
4 BasaltBlock: Lava source. Heat level needed: At least 80%
Get Diamond from Coalchunk 20 times faster! Heat Level needed: 100%
Can also be used as a way of purifying. (Exctracto-like fonction, but faster and ... needing the thing you want to extract can't be damaged by Heat
(i.e.: don't try to get Hydration Cells with, or to extract RubberTree)
Advanced-Thermal Solar Pannel:
While exploring you've probably found a lot of glowstone at the top of caves. But have you ever thought about exploring caves very deep in this same Nether ? No ? So you probably don't know here are Darkstone. Why darkstone could interest you ? Because it's a perfect Black Body. This means ou could use it as a very efficient Light-Heat converter. And guess what ? Our great company already discovered a way of using it to produce EU! We are not responsible of the incredible rarity of this material, considered as 100% rare than Iridium Ore.
Craft an A-TSP like this:


Where
are DarkDust and
Advanced Lens Blocks.
Advanced Lens Block are crafted with 8 Lens Block and 1 Diamond.
Without anything, this will only produce 12 EU/t during the day, 2 while raining (day) and 0.25 during the night.*
But there is a way to get more ...
This incredible generator is able to use light reflected by Lens Block and Advanced Lens Block in a 9*9 square (with the A-TSP in the middle) to get even more energy!
Lens Block will count as 0.5 EU more. But you should prefer Advanced Lens Block, wich will give you 3 additional EU/t !
The ATSP need a 9*9 area empty of block up to the sky to work properly.
Be aware that this device is also less laggy than low-tech Solar Pannels!
