Stovetop safety system

A method for providing a safe cooking device environment, wherein said cooking device comprises a stovetop device, said method comprises:

• detecting a status of a stovetop burner;
• detecting an object on the stovetop burner;
• wherein when the stovetop burner comprises an activated status and an object is detected on the burner, the system detects whether a threshold cooking time has been exceeded;
• and/or
• wherein when the stovetop burner comprises an activated status and no object is detected on the burner, the system detects whether a threshold non-cooking time has been exceeded;
• wherein if the cooking time threshold or the non-cooking time threshold has been exceeded, the system:
• produces an alert via a signal output device;
• sends an alert to a remote device;
• and/or
• inactivates the stovetop burner.

A cooking device safety system, comprising a stovetop cooking device, comprising:

• at least one first sensor to detect the presence of an object on or adjacent to a stovetop burner;
• at least one second sensor to detect a condition of the stovetop burner;
• wherein when an object is detected on or adjacent to the stovetop burner, and the at least one second sensor detects the burner is activated, a cooking time is detected, and wherein when no object is detected on or adjacent to the stovetop burner, and the at least one second sensor detects the burner is activated, a non-cooking time is detected;
• at least one transceiver to send a signal from the at least one first sensor and/or the at least one second sensor to a remote device;
• a microcontroller comprising a timer, said timer configured to detect time elapsed when the stovetop burner is activated, said timer comprising a cooking time threshold and a non-cooking time threshold, wherein said microcontroller further communicates with a neural network for detecting patterns of use of the cooking device;
• and
• a signal output device.
