The present disclosure discloses a temperature measuring and overflow preventing probe for a potto solve the technical problem to facilitate a user to use pots. The temperature measuring and overflow preventing probe for a pot of the present disclosure is provided with a head part and a probe needle connected below the head part. The probe needle is a vertically downward cylindrical structure; the lower part of the probe needle is a temperature detecting part, and the upper part is an overflow detecting part; a cylindrical connection part is connected between the temperature detecting part and the overflow detecting part; the connection part fixedly connects the temperature detecting part to the overflow detecting part to form a whole; the temperature detecting part and the overflow detecting part use conductive materials; and the connection part uses an insulation material.

A combination oven includes a cooking cavity accessible via a door, a convection cooking system associated with the cooking cavity for heating the cooking cavity and a moisture delivery arrangement for delivering moisture into the cooking cavity. A controller is configured to (i) control the convection cooking system for a cooking operation in accordance with an operator selected temperature for the cooking operation and (ii) automatically define a humidity level setting for the cooking operation as a function of the operator selected temperature. An oven may also include an automated vent operation.

A cook top includes an inputter configured to receive input of a user manipulation, and a cooker configured to heat a cooking device placed on the cook top. A communicator is configured to perform communication with a user terminal device and a range hood. A processor is configured to: control an operating state of the cooker according to the user manipulation, transmit a signal for controlling an operating state of the range hood to correspond to the operating state of the cooker to the range hood, and control the communicator to transmit state information of the cook top that includes information of the operating state of the cooker to the user terminal device.

A method for controlling a cooking device includes the following steps: recording an image of food; implementing a recognition of the recorded image of the food to determine the likelihood that the food corresponds to known foods. If a probability value exceeds a default threshold value, a cooking program associated with the known food is selected and specified to the cooking device. The probability value for the recorded image and the associated food is increased in response to a user subsequently starting the selected cooking program, and reduced in response to the user discarding the selected cooking program. A cooking device includes a primary control unit for controlling the cooking functions; a network interface with a second control unit, and a camera for recording images of the cooking space. The second control unit processes recorded images independently of the primary control unit and transmits them over the network interface.

Recipe instructions may be executed by one or more cooking apparatuses, and annotated with one or more device types suitable to execute the respectively annotated recipe instructions. A parallelization constraint associated with a particular cooking user may influences a degree of parallelization of the food preparation with regard to the parallel use of the registered cooking apparatuses. A program analyzer module determines one or more subsets of the registered cooking apparatuses by identifying execution options for the recipe instructions on said one or more subsets resulting in a recipe execution in compliance with the parallelization constraint. The execution option providing a best match with the received parallelization constraint in accordance with predefined matching rules is selected recipe deployment instructions are provided in relation to the respective one or more cooking apparatuses of the selected execution option in accordance with the corresponding annotations for preparing the food product.
