UPDATE: We won the IEEE 125 contest! www.ieee125.org Thanks for your votes! This is our entry in the ieee’s 125th anniversary “Engineering Your World” video contest: www.ieee125.org which asks for “short videos demonstrating their use of science, engineering and technology to make their living spaces more livable, fun, convenient or futuristic.” For a longer version of this video, see: www.youtube.com
To passionate chefs, cooking is an art. Knowing exactly when a cut of meat is cooked to perfection requires knowing your meat and your grill. But with a little bit of technology, we can build a digital meat thermometer, and use digital signal processing techniques to get a much faster response. This video explains how we can use the predictably slow heat transfer inside the temperature probe to mathematically model the sensor, and ultimately get a much faster response, with a little bit microcontroller computing power!

The biggest challenge to cooking on a grill is making sure that the food you cook is done. On this episode of Food Gear, we’ll show what to look for when buying a meat thermometer, as we save you the embarrassment from ever serving raw meat again. For more go to foodgearshow.com
