Abstract
The present invention relates to a cooking control device that comprises sensors (120) and a communication unit (145) to communicate with a display processing device (170). In this manner, taste values of the cooking substance reflecting the current status of the cooking process can be compared with pre-stored taste values representative of a desired cooking result and seasoning advice according to a recipe can be established and presented to a user to converge the cooking status with the desired cooking result.
Claims16
Cooking control device (100, 400, 500) to be at least partially immersed into a cooking substance, the cooking control device comprising:
- a first and a second sensor (120) to measure a respective taste property (190, 310-320) of the cooking substance;
- a processor (160) to quantify the respective taste property into a taste value and prepare it for transmission;
- an energy source (125);
- a bidirectional (150, 180) communication unit (145) communicating the taste values to an external processing unit for cooking control and transmitting processed taste values back to the cooking control device (100, 400, 500).
