Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a method for providing an audio recipe and a cooking configuration. The method includes receiving cooking instructions from at least one data source. Further, the method includes obtaining at least one recipe parameter from the cooking instructions. Further, the method includes dynamically generating the audio recipe and the cooking configuration corresponding to the audio recipe based on the at least one recipe parameter. Further, the method includes storing the audio recipe and the cooking configuration.

A microwave oven system, which includes: a microwave oven having a controllable power setting; a thermal camera at the microwave oven and which provides temperature data of one or more cooking items in the microwave oven; an optical camera at the microwave oven and which provides optical data of the one or more cooking items in the microwave oven; and a controller. A processor is configured to: receive the optical data, identify using a machine learning model, the one or more cooking items and their quantities at the microwave using the received optical data of the optical camera, access a recipe data bank, determine, using the recipe data bank, one or more steps for cooking of the one or more cooking items in the microwave oven.

A cooking device including a processor for executing a method and the method for displaying one or more cooking programs corresponding to cooking one or more foods includes displaying a virtual token board including a time scale which provides time information indicating a time when the one or more foods are cooking or will be cooked, and a space scale which provides levels indicating a location where the one or more foods are cooking or will be cooked, displaying one or more virtual tokens corresponding to the one or more cooking programs, and providing a leading virtual climate token in response at least one of the one or more virtual tokens being selected which provides information on cooking a plurality of food products of the one or more foods in a single cooking chamber with at least an overlap in cooking time.

A cooking apparatus includes a main body forming a cooking chamber and including a control panel, a door configured to open and close the cooking chamber, an opening and closing device configured to lock and unlock the door in response to the door closing the cooking chamber, and a button rotatably and movably coupled with the control panel to be rotated to a first position and a second position different from the first position. The button is limited in movement in relation to the main body in the first position, and movable in relation to the main body to operate the opening and closing device in the second position.

An electronic device comprises: a panel; a sensor configured to detect a user's touch with respect to at least one region among a plurality of areas in the panel; a plurality of icon members positionable to an upper portion of the at least one region from among the plurality of regions of the panel based on the user's touch on the at least one region being detected by the sensor, the plurality of icon members being configured to respectively display icons corresponding to functions performable by the electronic device; and a processor configured to perform a function corresponding to an icon member based on the user's touch on the at least one region detected by the sensor occuring in association with the icon member.

A microphone within a microwave oven detects acoustic activity, and controls the generation of microwaves based on the acoustic activity. A popping rate of popcorn is determined based on acoustic activity. Sounds above a certain amplitude with a duration below a certain value are treated as a pop of a corn kernel. In embodiments, a noise cancellation process is employed to reduce background noise from sources such as fans and turntable motors. When multiple corn kernels pop within a predetermined duration, the multiple pop events can appear as a single pulse of increased amplitude in acquired audio data. By identifying the audio pulses of increased amplitude and treating those pulses as counting for more than one corn kernel pop, a more accurate popping rate may be determined, leading to more accurate microwave oven operation for producing popped corn from corn kernels.

An oven may include a cooking chamber configured to receive a first food product, a convective heating system configured to provide heated air into the cooking chamber, a radio frequency (RF) heating system configured to provide RF energy into the cooking chamber, and processing circuitry configured to execute a recipe defining cooking parameters for cooking the first food product. The cooking parameters may define operational settings for the convective heating system and the RF heating system and a nominal cooking time for a first batch including the first food product. The processing circuitry may be operably coupled to a mass adjustment module configured to determine, based on an indication of an addition of a second batch comprising a second food product to the cooking chamber, an overlap period during which the first and second food products are simultaneously cooked and a completion time for cooking the second food product after the overlap period.
