Abstract: A handle for a cookware device contains a power supply that is operative to energize one or more of a processor, transceiver and accelerometer, as well as a memory device. The processor is also connected to a one or more external leads that extend into the handle at least to the connection to a sidewall of cooking device for further connection to a sensing circuit or power harvesting circuit. The end of the handle holds at least the processor but is in removable engagement from the portion with the power supply with a resilient sealing member to form a water proof seal.

Abstract: According to one example, a system comprises a plurality of cooking device systems that are each operable to be used in cooking a food item during a cooking process; a heat source system comprising a plurality of heat sources that are each operable to provide an amount of energy to be used to cook the food item; and a sensor operable to detect information associated with the cooking process. The system further comprises a processor operable to determine an identity of a first cooking device system and determine an identity of a first heat source. The processor is further operable to receive an indication of the detected information; determine whether there is an error in the cooking process based on the indication; and following a determination that there is an error in the cooking process, transmit an indication of the error in the cooking process.

Abstract: According to one example, a system comprises a heat source system and a processor. The heat source system comprises a plurality of heat sources. Each heat source is operable to provide an amount of energy to be used to cook a food item during a cooking process. The processor is operable to determine that a cooking device system has been positioned on or in a first heat source of the plurality of heat sources, determine an identity of the cooking device system that has been positioned on or in the first heat source, and correlate the determined identity of the cooking device system with an identity of the first heat source.

Abstract: According to one example, a system includes a cooking device operable to be used to cook a food item. The cooking device includes one or more motion sensors operable to detect a motion associated with the cooking device. The system further includes a wireless device operable to display a cooking recipe in a graphical user interface. The system also includes a one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more motion sensors. The processors are operable, when executed, to receive one or more indications of a detected motion associated with the cooking device, and further operable to determine a device instruction based on the one or more indications. The wireless device is further operable to perform the determined device instruction.
