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.
I assumed it was for cooking RFID to kill it. Just like if I saw "RFID Aluminum hat" here, I'd assume it was to block it, not use it to monitor head heat.
For the millionth time, it's = contraction of 'it is'. its=posessive of it.

Well, no, it'll just help regulate the temperature more accurately. It's still up to you to remember to stop playing doom 3 and go rescue your omlette from becoming a black crunchy lump.
I'm sorry. The number you have reached is imaginary. Please rotate your phone 90 degrees and try again.

Scary thought for someone named after a food...
Developers: We can use your help.
Even temperatures would benefit gourmet cooks more than inattentive college students trying not to burn their mac and cheese. Precise cooking temperatures without large swings command premium dollars.
Just check out this for the extremes people will go to for this kind of control.
Actually, cast iron has wonderfully even heating, better than almost anything else out there. However, because of it's poor conductivity, you have to let it sit on the stove for a bit for the temperature to even out.
One of the best restaurants in the world, The French Laundry, uses induction stoves instead of gas stoves.
