FOOD THERMOMETER AND METHOD OF USING THEREOF

摘要

A food thermometer includes a first portion for insertion into food. The first portion includes electronics sensitive to heat, and a third portion of the thermometer includes an antenna for transmitting data. According to one aspect, a completion time is estimated based on an ambient temperature and a rate at which the food temperature changes. According to another aspect, the thermometer includes an outer shell with a metallic portion and a non-metallic portion. An inner shell inside the outer shell extends from the metallic portion into the non-metallic portion such that the inner shell in the non-metallic portion serves as at least part of the antenna. The inner shell with the metallic portion of the outer shell serves as a coaxial transmission waveguide for an antenna signal.

主权项

1. A food thermometer for measuring a temperature of a food exposed to heat, the food thermometer comprising:
a first portion including electronic components that are sensitive to heat, the first portion configured to be positioned in the food; a second portion connected to the first portion, wherein at least the first portion or the second portion includes a thermal sensor for detecting the temperature of the food; and a third portion connected to the second portion, the third portion including an antenna for wirelessly transmitting data based on the detected temperature of the food.
