Touch and Tap Cooking System

Abstract

Traditional cooking systems pose challenges such as limited temperature control and safety risks like burns and gas leaks. These issues are critical in households, where accidents may lead to severe injuries or fatalities. Additionally, requiring users to stay near the stove restricts mobility and efficiency. A safer, more advanced cooking solution is essential. The ”Touch and Tap Cooking System” integrates modern technology to address these concerns. Using a temperature sensor, camera, and ESP32 microcontroller, the system enables real-time monitoring and remote control. Safety is enhanced with automatic pan detection, child locks, and diagnostic alerts via a mobile app, minimizing accident risks. Experimental validation confirms that system meets all objectives, offering remote cooking management, reducing supervision needs, and improving operational flexibility. The automatic shutdown mechanism further increases reliability, ensuring a safer and more efficient cooking environment.
