Abstract:
A method of regulating the temperature of a cooking liquid during sous vide cooking in a cooking vessel on a burner of a cooktop includes setting a desired cooking temperature and measuring the temperature of the cooking liquid inside the sous vide cooking vessel at a plurality of predetermined time intervals with a first temperature sensor mounted on an interior surface of a wall of the sous vide cooking vessel. The temperature of the cooking liquid is compared to the desired cooking temperature at each of the predetermined time intervals. The energy output of the burner is controlled based on the difference between the temperature of the cooking liquid and the desired cooking temperature. A cooking vessel and system for sous vide cooking using this method are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of regulating a temperature of a cooking liquid during a sous vide cooking procedure, the method comprising the steps of:\n providing a cooktop having a burner; providing a user interface in communication with a controller, wherein the controller is in communication with the burner for supplying an energy output to the burner; providing a cooking vessel positioned on the burner, wherein the cooking vessel includes a bottom surface and a surrounding side wall extending orthogonally upward from the bottom surface to define an interior space; providing a first temperature sensor mounted on an interior surface of the side wall of the cooking vessel; providing a cooking liquid in the interior space of the cooking vessel, wherein the first temperature sensor is submerged in the cooking liquid; using the user interface to set a desired cooking temperature of the cooking liquid; measuring a current temperature value of the cooking liquid inside the cooking vessel at a plurality of predetermined time intervals using the first temperature sensor; transmitting the current temperature value of the cooking liquid to the controller; using the controller to compare the current temperature value of the cooking liquid to the desired cooking temperature of the cooking liquid at each of the predetermined time intervals; and using the controller to control the energy output of the burner based on a difference between the current temperature value of the cooking liquid and the desired cooking temperature of the cooking liquid.
