Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- using a tag reader to read heating instruction data encoded in an electronic tag;
determining, by a processor, heating phases based on the read heating instruction data;
automatically controlling a heating apparatus to execute the determined heating phases, wherein the heating apparatus includes a plurality of cooking devices each configured to execute heating phases; and
executing a heating phase of the determined heating phases such that the heating phase terminates in a coordinated manner with respect to a heating phase executed by at least one other heating apparatus, wherein a heating phase executed by a first cooking device terminates in a coordinated manner with a heating phase executed by a second cooking device.
