I personally feel like being able to cook the perfect steak by sight/intuition is a skill worth learning.
- compumike 12y agoThere are now 3 YC companies making temperature-controlled cooking products, with 3 different engineering approaches: Cinder, Nomiku, and Pantelligent (note: co-founder). In each case, the basic tech works, and the result is really delicious, matching and sometimes exceeding what a "sight/intuition" skilled chef can produce. You'll believe it when you taste it!

- ddebernardy 12y agoSounds nice, but have any of you guys figured out the cleaning part of the equation? Because if not, I'd gather most consumers will stick with their pans. (Pros are a different story, of course.)
- maxerickson 12y agoCinder is supposed to come apart (we'll see what they launch), so you can stick the cooking surfaces in the dishwasher. Nomiku should not really get dirty (it only comes into contact with water). Pantelligent doesn't make it clear if the handle will be immersible, but it isn't that much hassle to clean a pan without soaking the handle.
- ddebernardy 12y agoGood luck with that... At the very least, probe into waterproofing that pan. You can't afford to fail this, because someone will place it in their dishwasher or soak the handle, and word of mouth will rinse off any early adopter enthusiasm when news of broken pans hit cooking forums. Your pan would then be about as easy to sell as a grown dog with a "moody, dirty, bites" sign around its neck.
- dagw 12y agoCinders USP from what I gather is not only cooking a perfect steak, but holding a perfect steak until ready to serve. No idea if it works, but that seems to be the feature they are selling.
