RFID Cookware

HaggiZ writes "Vitacraft are claiming to have what they call RFIQin Robotic Cookware (unfortunate name). It's basically pots and pans that you can place RFID cooking cards in the handle with. The communicate with the induction stove 16 times a second to adjust the cooking when required. Neat idea, although I'm not sure anything I cook needs to have it's temperature reviewed or adjusted every 0.06 of a second." For all the evil uses of RFID that have been floated over the years, it's nice to see that someone is going to finally make it so I stop burning my lunch.

Wrong target market. by khasim · 2006-01-15 05:26 · Score: 3, Insightful

The people who would cook by plugging a card into a pot would not be using a pot in the first place. They'd be using a microwave.

The people who cook with pots and pans already know how to cook so they won't spend money on this. Gas stoves are much better for cooking anyway.

Which leaves the only market being people with too much money, a love for new toys and no culinary skills.
