Abstract

A method and an apparatus capable of determining the amount of time remaining before a food being heated reaches a desired temperature and/or a food reaches approximately room temperature. Determining the amount of time remaining is based at least on the rate of temperature change of the food during heating/cooling. In at least one exemplary embodiment, updating the amount of time based on the current rate of temperature change.
