Abstract
Several embodiments include a cooking instrument. The cooking instrument can include a heating system. The heating system can include one or more heating elements capable of emitting wireless energy into the cooking chamber. The cooking instrument can also include a control system. The control system can executing a heating sequence to drive the heating system, detect, based on an output signal of a sensor, a trigger event, and configure the heating system in response to detecting the trigger event.
Claims20
A method of operating a cooking instrument comprising:
- imaging, hyperspectrally, at least a portion of a cooking chamber of the cooking instrument by illuminating at least a portion of the cooking chamber with a lighting system comprising a lighting source and/or one or more heating elements of a heating system, and capturing a spectral response image utilizing an imaging system;
- characterizing a material in the cooking chamber by analyzing the spectral response image;
- and
- configuring the heating system of the cooking instrument based on the characterized material.
