Samsung patents sensor that tracks food and internal temperature for induction cooking

Samsung has filed a patent for a sensor device designed to work with induction heating cooktops. The device uses two temperature sensors: one to measure the temperature of the food in the pot and another to monitor the sensor's own internal temperature. It sends this data to the cooktop to help control the heating process.

Why it mattersThis could help make induction cooktops more precise by allowing them to adjust heat based on actual food temperature rather than just surface heat.

In the filing’s own words

A sensor device, induction heating device, and cooking system including, in the sensor device, a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, a communication interface, and a processor. The first temperature sensor measures a temperature of a food being in a cooking vessel on the induction heating device. The second temperature sensor measures an internal temperature of the sensor device. The communication interface transmits the data to the induction heating device to control cooking. The processor controls the communication interface to transmit the data the induction heating device.
