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.

ESPECIALLY unfortunate name in German...

...since the German verb "ficken", which is homophonous to "FIQin" means "to fuck" and the prefix "er-", though not normally used with this verb, usually designates a successful completion of the action indicated by the stem. Not a clever choice of letters.
