  • Patent number: 12137510
    Abstract: Several embodiments include a cooking instrument. The cooking instrument can include a heating system. The heating system can include one or more heating elements capable of emitting wireless energy into the cooking chamber. The cooking instrument can also include a control system. The control system can select a quantifiable cooking result and drive the heating system to achieve such cooking result. In at least one mode of operation, the control system can increase power density despite a power draw limit of an external power source.

  • Publication number: 20210131670
    Abstract: Power control systems and methods include power control logic configured to selectively apply electrical power received from an external resource to a plurality of heating elements to implement a heating algorithm. In one embodiment, the power control logic is configured to measure the electrical power supplied to the plurality of heating elements, predict an amount of the electrical power needed to activate one or more of the plurality of heating elements, track power usage for each of the plurality of heating elements, and determine a next heating element to activate based on the tracked power usage and the heating algorithm.
