This is an appliance that uses a Peltier device to both heat and cool food within a cooking pot. The pot has a curved bottom designed to fit snugly against a matching curved, heat-conducting part of the Peltier system. The claims narrow this invention to a system where the Peltier device and this heat-conducting material are the primary components for temperature control.
Why it matters: Since 2004, the cost and capability of microcontrollers and wireless connectivity have dramatically improved. This makes implementing precise, network-controlled temperature profiles for a Peltier-based cooker, as hinted by the classification, far more feasible and affordable now.
