Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for monitoring for boiling fluid in a kitchen environment by a smart hood apparatus includes accessing sensor data indicating one or more parameters of a cooking utensil detected by the smart hood apparatus from sensors associated with the smart hood apparatus, wherein the sensors comprise one or more of a camera, a thermal sensor, or an audio sensor, and wherein the cooking utensil contains fluid, determining information associated with boiling events associated with the fluid in the cooking utensil based on the sensor data by algorithms, wherein the information comprises at least a boiling time required for the fluid to boil, and sending instructions for presenting a notification comprising the information associated with the boiling events.
