Abstract
A cooking system includes a smart cooking device that interfaces with a remote computing device. The smart cooking device includes a heat transfer housing that is configured to receive a cookware item and be positioned over a heating element of an appliance. Various sensors of the smart cooking device such as a force sensor, a vibration sensor and/or a temperature sensor measure data associated with a cooking process performed when the heating element is operating and the cookware item holds food. The data is passed to the remote computing device for storage as a digital recipe. The digital recipe may then be played back to guide a user in a future cooking process.
