Abstract
A cooking tool is disclosed, which comprises a fastening portion detachably provided in a cooking vessel provided above or inside a kitchen appliance to cook food; a sensor sensing a temperature of food which is cooked in the cooking vessel; a transmitter transmitting temperature information sensed by the sensor to the kitchen appliance as an electric signal; and a controller controlling the transmitter to transmit the temperature information sensed by the sensor as an electric signal.
Claims24
A cooking tool comprising:
- a fastening portion detachably provided in a cooking vessel provided above or inside a kitchen appliance to cook food;
- a sensor sensing a temperature of food which is cooked in the cooking vessel;
- a transmitter transmitting temperature information sensed by the sensor to the kitchen appliance as an electric signal;
- and
- a controller controlling the transmitter to transmit the temperature information sensed by the sensor as an electric signal.
An interworking system between a kitchen appliance and a cooking tool, the interworking system comprising:
- the cooking tool including a fastening portion detachably provided in a cooking vessel for cooking food, a sensor sensing a temperature of food which is cooked in the cooking vessel, a transmitter transmitting temperature information sensed by the sensor to the kitchen appliance as an electric signal, and a controller controlling the transmitter to transmit the temperature information sensed by the sensor as an electric signal;
- and
- the kitchen appliance including a receiver provided with the cooking tool thereabove or thereinside, receiving the electric signal transmitted from the transmitter, and a kitchen appliance controller controlling cooking intensity of food,
- wherein the controller controls the transmitter to transmit the sensed temperature information to the receiver of the kitchen appliance and therefore the kitchen appliance controller controls cooking intensity of food.
A control method of a cooking tool attached to a cooking vessel arranged above or inside a kitchen appliance to cook food, interworking with the kitchen appliance, the control method comprising the steps of:
- sensing a temperature of food which is cooked in the cooking vessel;
- transmitting the sensed temperature of food to the kitchen appliance as an electric signal;
- and
- controlling cooking intensity of food in the kitchen appliance by receiving the electric signal.
