Freescale Introduces Solid State RF Power Technology To Revolutionize Cooking

(RTTNews) - Embedded processing solutions provider Freescale Semiconductor Ltd. (FSL) introduced its vision for a radically innovative appliance concept that leverages solid state radio frequency (RF) technology to revolutionize cooking. The concept is designed to dramatically boost convenience and quality of home cooking, enable compelling new business models and opportunities.

The technology, developed in partnership with global product strategy and design firm frog, will help enable fresh, chef-quality meals available at home with virtually no effort or prep time.

This smart, connected RF cooking concept will provide the convenience of a microwave and quality of a traditional oven. The cooking concept can control where, when and how much heating energy is directed into food - enabling more precise cooking for dramatically improved consistency, taste and nutrition.

This fine-tuned heating capability helps prevent overcooking, which can destroy nutritional content, reduce moisture and waste energy.

Freescale's connected RF cooking proof of concept is expected to enable new levels of consumer convenience, on par with the single-brew coffee pod's popularity among coffee drinkers at home and in the workplace.

Freescale is displaying this concept at this week's Freescale Technology Forum in the Smart Home section of the show's Tech Lab.
