Abstract: According to one example, a system includes a heat source operable to provide an amount of energy to be used to cook a food item. The system further includes a processor operable to establish a first communication link with a wireless device having a cooking recipe for the food item. The processor is further operable to receive, via the first communication link, an indication of a first temperature associated with the cooking recipe. The processor is further operable to establish a second communication link with a cooking device system operable to be used in cooking the food item, and to receive, via the second communication link, an indication of a current temperature associated with the food item. The processor is further operable to, based on the indication of the first temperature and the indication of the current temperature, adjust the amount of energy provided by the heat source.
Abstract: A cookware handle includes a plastic grip portion molded over a portion of an insert. The insert inserts into a bore of a flange. The grip portion is externally flush with the flange interface and the insert internally connects the grip portion to the flange. This allows the grip portion to be over molded on a first part of the insert so the other portion can be welded or otherwise attached to the flange after external surface finishing of the flange. The insert and flange may be welded together along a portion of the insert that contacts the flange within the bore and that is not visible when the flange is attached to a cookware vessel sidewall to provide the grip molded as a handle for the cookware vessel.
