I like the idea of constant temperature feedback, but I'm not going to switch out the pans I already have. I'm inspired to tear apart an IR temperature gun, place the sensor above each burner and mount the guns' readouts to the front of the hood.
- compumike 12y agoPart of the trick is getting the pan surface temperature, which (to an overhead pyrometer) is often obscured by the food in the pan. But yes, an IR thermometer is a good kitchen tool!
- Natsu 12y agoOne thing I didn't see is how the pan's transmitter is powered? Is it drawing energy from the heat of the pan or is there a battery in there somewhere?
