Abstract
A cooking control system having a temperature probe and a cooking appliance is described for permitting temperature target cooking of foods. The probe includes a metallic insertable portion with a sheathed tip and a temperature sensor positioned therein, a flexible heat-resistant wire coupled to the temperature sensor, and a jack coupled to the flexible, heat-resistant wire opposite the metallic insertable portion. The cooking appliance includes a heating unit, an housing, a temperature reader, and an alpha-numerical display. In use, the temperature sensor produces a signal in response to a temperature sensed at the sheathed tip and the heat-resistant wire and jack transmit the signal produced by the temperature sensor to the port of the cooking appliance. The temperature reader within the housing is coupled to the port and configured to accept and accurately convert the signal produced by the temperature sensor to a number representing the temperature sensed by the sensor and display the number for the user.
