Wireless remote cooking thermometer system
DCFirst Claim
1. A wireless remote cooking thermometer system, comprising:
- a first hand-held unit positionable at a first location adjacent food being cooked, said first hand-held unit including a radio frequency transmitter operative to transmit internal temperature readings associated with the food being cooked;
said system including at least one microprocessor operative to calibrate a taste preference and a choice preference associated with the food being cooked;
a temperature sensor for measuring the internal temperature of the food being cooked having a probe and being connectable to said first hand-held unit; and
a second hand-held unit including a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a radio frequency receiver for reception of the internal temperature readings transmitted by said frequency transmitter of said first hand-held unit.

Abstract
A wireless remote cooking thermometer system includes a first unit positionable at a first location adjacent food being cooked, the first unit including a radio frequency transmitter adapted to transmit temperature readings for the food being cooked, and a temperature sensor connectable to the first unit for providing temperature readings to the first unit. The system also includes a second unit including a radio frequency receiver adapted to receive the temperature readings transmitted by the radio frequency transmitter and a visual display for displaying the received temperature readings, wherein the second unit is movable to a second location remote from the first location while maintaining radio contact with the first unit. The system includes a microprocessor operative to calibrate a taste preference and a choice preference associated with the food being cooked.

13. A wireless programmable thermometer timer system, comprising:
-
a first hand-held unit having a radio frequency transmitter, one or more data entry keys associated with a meat selection preference, a taste selection preference, and a first visual display for displaying a temperature reading, the meat selection preference and the taste preference; a temperature sensor having a substantially rigid temperature probe insertable in a meat being cooked and connectable to said first hand-held unit; a micro-processor operable to establish a temperature setting based on the meat selection preference and the taste selection preference, monitor the temperature sensor reading and communicate the temperature sensor reading to the radio frequency transmitter; and a second hand-held unit including a radio frequency receiver for reception of the temperature sensor reading transmitted by the radio frequency transmitter and a second visual display for displaying the received temperature sensor reading. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A wireless remote cooking thermometer system comprising:
-
a first hand-held unit removably positionable at a first location adjacent food being cooked, wherein said first hand-held unit operates using a radio frequency transmitter adapted to transmit temperature readings; a temperature sensor connectable to said first hand-held unit, said temperature sensor including a substantially rigid temperature probe insertable into said food being cooked; and a second hand-held unit including data entry keys operable for selecting a meat choice preference of the food being cooked for temperature monitoring and selecting a taste preference associated with said selected meat choice, a visual display and a radio frequency receiver adapted to receive said temperature readings transmitted by said radio frequency transmitter, wherein said second hand-held unit is movable to a second location spaced from said first hand-held unit so as to allow for monitoring of said transmitted temperature readings during a cooking operation, wherein a microprocessor capable of calibration for taste preferences associated with said food being cooked is provided in said second hand-held unit.
