This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,111.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

The inventive concept adapts the original cooking device and method to cater to specific, high-demand markets, including extreme weather conditions, high-security needs, disaster relief, high-altitude cooking, and marine vessels.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent provided a cooking device and method that predicted food core temperature. However, it did not address the unique challenges and requirements of specific, niche environments. The new inventive concept addresses this limitation by incorporating additional sensors and data inputs to optimize cooking processes in these specialized contexts.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The new claims introduce cooking devices tailored to extreme weather conditions, high-security needs, disaster relief, high-altitude cooking, and marine vessels. Each variant incorporates the original patent's temperature and mass sensors, but also integrates additional sensors and data inputs specific to the target environment. For instance, the extreme weather condition variant incorporates weather condition data, while the high-security needs variant utilizes access control data. The controller adjusts the cooking process based on the predicted food item core temperature and the relevant environmental or operational data.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a novel combination of sensors and data inputs that enable the cooking device to adapt to specific, niche environments. This adaptation is non-obvious compared to the original patent, as it requires a deep understanding of the unique challenges and requirements of each target market.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments could include cooking devices for other specialized environments, such as space exploration, military operations, or remote research stations. Variations could also involve integrating additional sensors or data inputs, such as humidity, food moisture level, or food surface temperature, to further optimize cooking processes.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in various industries, including defense, aerospace, disaster relief, and hospitality. The targeted markets will appreciate the customized cooking solutions that cater to their specific needs and challenges, enhancing the overall cooking experience and ensuring food safety.
