Meld Automatic Temperature Control System

When it comes to cooking, getting the right temperature is an art that’s not easy to master and even more so, if you’re using a stove. I mean, unless you are a pro, you won’t know the exact heat to make the perfect poach egg, right? This is an area where Meld wants to address. Meld is a three-part gadget, comprising of a smart knob that retrofits to your existing gas or electric stove, a clip-on temperature sensor that fits nearly all kind of pots and pans, and an app. The smart knob, which replaces the knob of the burner you wish to control, mechanically adjusts the temperature based on the information fed to it by the temperature sensor clipped on the pot.

The smart knob communicates with the thermometer wirelessly, while the app provides it with the guideline on how much heat to introduce to the pot to maintain a certain temperature based on the chosen preset recipes. Of course, if you already know what’s the right temperature for that particular dish, you can always use the app to remotely control the temperature. Now that you are blessed with the ability to precisely control the temperature of the stove’s burner, it means you are open to all sort of cooking methods, including poaching, frying, simmering, slow cooking and even sous vide, where temperature is critical to the success of the final product.
