Abstract
A system of networked appliances for implementing cooking instructions for a prepackaged food item in a cooking appliance includes an imaging device configured to read an input associated with the prepackaged food item, a cooking instruction database comprising a list of prepackaged food cooking instructions, and a query module comprising executable instructions to query the cooking instruction database based on the input and return cooking instructions for the prepackaged food item.
Claims20
A system of networked appliances for implementing cooking instructions for a prepackaged food item in a cooking appliance, comprising:
- an imaging device configured to read an input associated with the prepackaged food item;
- a cooking instruction database comprising a list of prepackaged food cooking instructions;
- a query module comprising executable instructions to query the cooking instruction database based on the input and return cooking instructions for the prepackaged food item;
- a conversion module comprising executable instructions that convert the cooking instructions to modified cooking instructions;
- and
- at least one appliance configured to receive the modified cooking instructions.
A system of networked appliances for implementing cooking instructions for a prepackaged food item in a cooking appliance, comprising:
- a cooking instruction database comprising a list of prepackaged food cooking instructions;
- a mobile device, comprising:
- an imaging device configured to receive an input identifying the prepackaged food item;
- a query module comprising executable instructions to query the cooking instruction database based on the input and return cooking instructions for the prepackaged food item;
- and
- a conversion module comprising executable instructions that convert the cooking instructions to modified cooking instructions;
- and
- at least one appliance configured to receive the modified cooking instructions from the mobile device and to implement the modified cooking instructions for the prepackaged food item.
A method of implementing cooking instructions on prepackaged foods by way of an application executed on a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving, in a processor, an input from the application;
- querying a database for cooking instructions associated with the input;
- converting the cooking instructions into modified cooking instructions by removing a pre-heating step;
- outputting the modified cooking instructions;
- and
- receiving the modified cooking instructions in one of an appliance or a mobile device.
