The granted patent US12042089B2 outlines a system and method for the preparation of food utilizing interconnected kitchen appliances and a processor. The system includes a first kitchen appliance equipped with detectors that monitor various states of a foodstuff at regular intervals. This information is transmitted to a processor, which compares the detected data against preparation instructions. The processor is responsible for controlling a second kitchen appliance based on this comparison and maintains a preparation history that records the detected states of the foodstuff. This history is crucial for informing subsequent cooking operations, ensuring that the preparation process is optimized based on previously gathered data.

Additionally, the patent describes the capability of the system to adjust heating profiles in response to the detected states of the foodstuff. The processor may also connect to an external database for preparation instructions, enhancing its functionality. The method for controlling kitchen appliances involves detecting the state of the foodstuff, executing preparation operations across multiple appliances, and adapting the cooking process based on a comprehensive preparation history. This method allows for real-time adjustments to cooking parameters, ensuring that the food is prepared efficiently and effectively. The integration of these features aims to streamline the cooking process and improve the overall quality of food preparation.
