Abstract

A programmable cooking system includes a controller, at least one of a cooking range and an oven interfacing with the controller, a set of scales interfacing with the controller, a timer interfacing with the controller and at least one data entry component interfacing with the controller.

Claims

1. A programmable cooking system, comprising:

a controller;

at least one of a cooking range and an oven interfacing with said controller;

a set of scales interfacing with said controller;

a timer interfacing with said controller; and

at least one data entry component interfacing with said controller.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein said at least one data entry component comprises a keyboard.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein said at least one data entry component comprises a media drive.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein said at least one data entry component comprises a communication network interfacing with said controller and a user interface interfacing with said communication network.

5. The system of claim 4 further comprising a camera and microphone disposed in communication with said communication network.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein said at least one data entry component comprises a voice recognition component.

7. The system of claim 1 further comprising a display monitor interfacing with said controller.

8. The system of claim 1 further comprising an alarm interfacing with said controller.

9. A programmable cooking system, comprising:

a controller having a database;

at least one of a cooking range and an oven;

wherein said cooking range comprises;

a cooking range housing;

at least one set of scales carried by said cooking range housing and interfacing with said controller; and

at least one cooking range burner carried by said at least one set of scales, respectively, and connected to said controller;

wherein said oven comprises;

an oven housing having an oven housing interior;

at least one oven rack selectively extendable from said oven housing interior;

at least one set of scales carried by said at least one oven rack and interfacing with said controller; and

at least one heating element provided in said oven housing interior and connected to said controller;

a timer interfacing with said controller; and

at least one data entry component interfacing with said controller.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein said at least one data entry component comprises a keyboard.

11. The system of claim 9 wherein said at least one data entry component comprises a media drive.

12. The system of claim 9 wherein said at least one data entry component comprises a communication network interfacing with said controller and a user interface interfacing with said communication network.

13. The system of claim 12 further comprising a camera and microphone disposed in communication with said communication network.

14. The system of claim 9 wherein said at least one data entry component comprises a voice recognition component.

15. The system of claim 9 further comprising a display monitor interfacing with said controller.

16. The system of claim 9 further comprising an alarm interfacing with said controller.

17. A programmable cooking system, comprising:

a controller having a database;

a display monitor interfacing with said controller;

a cooking range comprising;

a cooking range housing having a keyboard slot;

a keyboard support selectively extendable from said cooking range housing through said keyboard slot;

a keyboard interfacing with said controller and carried by said keyboard support;

at least one set of scales carried by said cooking range housing and interfacing with said controller; and

at least one cooking range burner carried by said at least one set of scales, respectively, and connected to said controller;

an oven comprising;

an oven housing having an oven housing interior;

at least one oven rack selectively extendable from said oven housing interior;

at least one set of scales carried by said at least one oven rack and interfacing with said controller; and

at least one heating element provided in said oven housing interior and connected to said controller;

a timer interfacing with said controller; and

at least one of a media drive and a communication network having a user interface interfacing with said controller.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein at least one of a media drive and a communication network comprises a communication network and further comprising a camera and microphone disposed in communication with said communication network.

19. The system of claim 17 further comprising a telephone interfacing with said controller.
