Smart kitchen gizmo that lets you cook like a pro. Cluck is a smart temperature sensor and kitchen timer. It works with the pots and pans you have. Just bring your smartphone to monitor your foods more conveniently.
Despite all of the technical advances in the kitchen, cooking remains an activity which requires time and a good degree supervision. As a result, people are often unable to easily monitor certain cooking activities while moving about in the home. Often, home cooks must leave an active kitchen unattended for short periods of time (e.g. to take a call, to let out the dog, to change a baby’s diaper, etc.) and it’s easy to become distracted and forget to return in time. This can not only result in boil-overs and overcooked food, but can also create serious safety issues. Even worse than the inconvenience and the mess, is the valuable time you lose.
Now there’s cluck, the smart kitchen timer from OrbSense Technologies.
OrbSense Technologies is a Seattle based start-up creating innovative products which deliver micro-moment utility.
cluck, the first product for the company, is a patent-pending kitchen temperature sensor and timer which works with the pots and pans you already own. The sensor and app work together to make it easier to monitor and prepare some of your favorite foods more conveniently, consistently and safely every time you cook. Now when you set a pot of water to boil, you can set cluck and focus on something else. When you cook with cluck, you can have the peace of mind that when your eggs, noodles or potatoes need you, the app will call you back to the kitchen.
To get started, tap Cluck on a counter to wake it, drop it into a pot with water, and set the app. It lets you actively monitor the temperature of your food. The app sends you notifications you need to pay attention to your food.
OrbSense Technologies harnesses contextual data through sensors to create delightfully useful and innovative products. Fully functional prototypes of cluck have been produced and tested.
