A food cooking management device configured to be removably positioned on a cooking vessel, the cooking management device including a control device in which is stored data characterizing a type of cooking vessel on which the cooking management device is positioned and/or several cooking cycles activated by a control unit, as well as a segmented liquid crystal display that permits emitting visual signals to the user, wherein the control device is configured to activate one or more segments of the display to permit displaying a first icon representing a first type of cooking vessel corresponding to the stored data and/or a first cooking cycle activated, the control device being configured to display at least a second icon representing a second type of cooking vessel and/or a second cooking cycle by activating at least one segment activated to display the first icon

A probe used with food preparation, rethermalization, storage, transportation, and/or service includes a body configured to be immersed in a foodstuff, one or more sensors configured to collect data including the temperature of the foodstuff, and a wireless device configured to transmit data collected by the one or more sensors to food equipment to control the heat provided to the foodstuff.

An intelligent coffee and tea measuring cup includes a cup body, a weighing unit, a temperature sensing unit, an information storage and execution unit, and a display unit. An upper end and a lower end of the cup body are provided with openings respectively, and an outer side of the cup body is provided with a handle. The weighing unit is used to measure a weight of liquid, particles or powder loaded into a metal cup liner. The temperature sensing unit is used to detect a temperature inside the metal cup liner. The information storage and execution unit includes a timer, a reciprocal counter, a record storage and an alarmer. The display unit is electrically connected to the information storage and execution unit. The cup has diverse functions, meets needs of users, is simple in structure and convenient to use, and is convenient to carry.

A placeable cooktop utensil includes: at least one handle having a gripping portion with at least one gripping region that is integrated in the handle so as to allow a user to grip the placeable utensil with a hand; a controller; and a transmitting unit connected in signal communication with the controller so as to transmit signals from the placeable utensil to the cooktop. The at least one gripping region has at least one touch sensor connected in signal communication with the controller so as to detect when the at least one handle is gripped. The at least one touch sensor substantially simultaneously detects a force and a position of at least one finger of the hand. The placeable cooktop utensil includes an output unit connected in signal communication with the controller. The output unit and/or the transmitting unit is controllable as a function of an output signal.

A temperature controlled heatable object is provided in which a temperature sensor is connected to a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. The RFID tag is located within the handle of the object, and the temperature sensor is placed in contact with the object. In a first embodiment of the invention, the temperature sensor is partially imbedded within the object via a notch located in the side of the object. In a second embodiment of the invention, a temperature sensor is imbedded within a tunnel drilled within the base of the object. In a third embodiment, a temperature sensor is imbedded between the bottom of the object and a slab attached to the bottom of the object. The sensor can be located in a slot formed in either the slab or the bottom or the object. Handles and receivers for mounting the handles to the temperature controllable objects are also provided.

A cooking appliance comprises a cabinet and a cooking unit provided in the cabinet and configured to perform cooking of food using a heat source. The cooking appliance also includes a display device configured to display cooking information for the cooking unit. The display device includes a display module configured to irradiate light of a first color to display information for a user and a circuit board arranged at a rear of the display module and configured to control the display module and supply power to the display module. The display device also includes a color conversion filter arranged at a front of the display module and configured to convert the light of the first color irradiated from the display module to light of a second color. The cooking appliance converts the color of light irradiated from the display module to a desired color by using the color conversion filter.

A sous-vide circulator cooker for home sous-vide cooking. The sous-vide circulator cooker is particularly suited for use in home kitchens and on small countertops. The sous-vide circulator cooker includes a detachable stainless steel skirt which allows for cleaning the skirt itself and cleaning of a heater and pump covered by the skirt. The provision of a stainless steel skirt can also act to ensure that no plastic components are directly wetted during use of the cooker. In at least one embodiment, the sous-vide circulator cooker's removable skirt also exposes the water pump impellers allow users to clean out food and debris.
