Abstract
Several embodiments include a cooking appliance/instrument (e.g., oven). The cooking appliance/instrument can include a cooking chamber, a support tray adapted to hold food in the cooking chamber; and a heating system comprised of at least a heating element. The heating system is adapted to emit waves according to a particular configuration such that the emitted waves is substantially transparent or substantially opaque to the support tray and thus enabling the cooking instrument to select what to heat.
Claims1
A method for operating an oven comprising:
- receiving, by a control system of the oven, an instruction to cook food in a cooking chamber of the oven according to a digital recipe;
- and
- varying, by the control system in accordance with the instruction, a peak wavelength emitted by a heating element of a heating system to specifically and directly transfer heat to a support tray adapted to hold food in the cooking chamber, an envelope of the heating element, a specific type of edible material in the food, or any combination thereof;
- wherein the heating element is configurable to emit waves at different peak emission wavelengths;
- and
- wherein the envelope of the heating element has an absorption band that is at least partially different than an absorption band of a material of the support tray.
