Samsung patents induction cooktop that builds recipes from heat changes

Samsung has been granted a patent for a heating cooking apparatus that automatically creates recipe stages based on how the heater is used. The device's controller monitors the heater's operation state and splits the cooking process into distinct stages whenever the heat setting changes, recording the specific conditions for each part of the meal.

Why it mattersThis filing suggests a move toward smarter kitchen appliances that can log and replicate cooking processes automatically, potentially simplifying how users save and repeat their favorite meals.

In the filing’s own words

A heating cooking apparatus includes: a plate; a heater configured to heat a cooking container placed in a cooking area of the plate; and a controller configured to create a recipe including a plurality of stages based on operation information of the heater, wherein the controller is configured to, based on a change in operation state of the heater, create a first stage based on first operation information, among the operation information of the heater, which corresponds to the operation state of the heater before the change of the operation state of the heater, and create a second stage based on second operation information, among the operation information of the heater, which corresponds to the operation state of the heater after the change of the operation state of the heater, and the recipe includes the first stage and the second stage.
