Abstract: A heat modulating system includes a heat source, a temperature sensor proximate the heat source, and a controller in connection with the temperature sensor and the heat source. The controller modulates a rate of temperature increase of the heat source based on temperature detected by the temperature sensor, and at a temperature set point detected by the temperature sensor the controller modulates power to the heat source to help to prevent unintended autoignition of cooking oil.

Abstract: A safety timer device, for a cooking appliance connected to an energy source, the cooking appliance having a heat generating component in communication with a heat controller. A timer communicates with the heat controller configured to count down a predetermined cooking time. An alarm unit, in communication with the timer, is configured to communicate an alarm signal for a predetermined alarm time after the cooking time expires.
