Abstract: A universal iKT electronic monitoring device, system and method of use, to receive data from a variety of types of sensors (e.g. measuring weight, temperature) housed within apparatuses (e.g. a kitchen appliances, utensils) that are electronically compatible with the monitoring device. The monitoring device then wirelessly transmits the sensor data to a User's mobile device (i.e. a smartphone) to be analyzed and stored. The User's mobile device also comprises software to assist in using the apparatus, such as listing recipes, or transmitting commands to the device to turn off an apparatus (e.g. oven). One iKT device is compatible for use with a multitude of electronic apparatuses, such as mixing bowls to measure the weight of cooking ingredients, spatulas and oven mats to measure food temperature, cups to measure liquid volumes, and oven controls to turn off/on or reduce the temperature.
