  • software defined cooking sdc using a Microwave Oven
    ACM IEEE International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, 2019
    Co-Authors: Haojian Jin, Jingxian Wang, Swarun Kumar, Jason Hong
    Abstract:

    We present a demonstration of SDC, a low-cost closed-loop Microwave Oven system that aims to heat the food in a software-defined thermal trajectory. SDC achieves this through a novel high-resolution heat sensing and actuation system that uses Microwave-safe components to augment existing Microwaves. In this demo, we demonstrate our experimental test-bed, a modified commercial off-the-shelf Microwave Oven, and show a SDC-enabled Microwave can be enlisted to perform unexpected cooking tasks: cooking meat and fat in bacon discriminatively and heating rice uniformly.

  • software defined cooking using a Microwave Oven
    ACM IEEE International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, 2019
    Co-Authors: Haojian Jin, Jingxian Wang, Swarun Kumar, Jason Hong
    Abstract:

    Despite widespread popularity, today's Microwave Ovens are limited in their cooking capabilities, given that they heat food blindly, resulting in a non-uniform and unpredictable heating distribution. We present SDC (software-defined cooking), a low-cost closed-loop Microwave Oven system that aims to heat the food in a software-defined thermal trajectory. SDC achieves this through a novel high-resolution heat sensing and actuation system that uses Microwave-safe components to augment existing Microwaves. SDC first senses thermal gradient by using arrays of neon lamps that are charged by the Electromagnetic (EM) field a Microwave produces. SDC then modifies the EM-field strength to desired levels by accurately moving food on a programmable turntable towards sensed hot and cold spots. To create a more skewed arbitrary thermal pattern, SDC further introduces two types of programmable accessories: Microwave shield and susceptor. We design and implement one experimental test-bed by modifying a commercial off-the-shelf Microwave Oven. Our evaluation shows that SDC can programmatically create temperature deltas at a resolution of 21 degrees with a spatial resolution of 3 cm without accessories and 183 degrees with the help of accessories. We further demonstrate how a SDC-enabled Microwave can be enlisted to perform unexpected cooking tasks: cooking meat and fat in bacon discriminatively and heating milk uniformly.

  • Microwave Oven safety: A food safety consumer survey in Malaysia
    Food Control, 2017
    Co-Authors: C.y. New, T. Y. Thung, J. M.k.j.k. Premarathne, A.r. Russly, S.m. Abdulkarim, Radu Son
    Abstract:

    Microwave Oven is an indispensable tool in every household. However, the proper usage of the Microwave Ovens was neglected and thus, causing food safety concerns, especially microbiological hazard in Microwaved heated food. Therefore, a survey was initiated to gauge the consumer’s knowledge of Microwave Oven safety concerning the food safety of reheated food. A total of 29 survey questions was designed that covered 5 demographic questions and 24 others on the knowledge and practice of Microwave Oven safety and food safety attitude. The survey was blasted out to 329 respondents via email. Overall, 189 (57.4%) returned respondents demonstrated low level of knowledge of the Microwave Oven safety, which indicated improper education of the Microwave Oven despite knowing the norms on the Microwave Oven usage. In addition, consumers demonstrated low levels of practicing Microwave Oven safety. The outcome of the survey also showed consumer’s neutral attitude towards food safety. There was no statistically significant association between the variables and demographic. The minimum knowledge of Microwave Oven and food safety shown by the consumers requires the attention to improve the food safety educational programs by including the knowledge on Microwave Oven safety for the betterment of the public health.
