According to statistics from the fire department, cooking-related fires are the leading cause of fires. Common causes include careless cooking, burning food, oil fires, improper use, and fires that continue to burn unattended. Therefore, the team hopes to reduce disasters and ensure users' safety, especially the elderly and those with poor memory, through the "Safe Kitchenware" product series. The innovative design of " SEFI KNOB&SEFI PAN " is expected to become a guardian of the kitchen.



The assembly and operation of this product are very simple. When installing the "SEFI KNOB,” it can be used on single-burner stoves, tabletop stoves, and built-in stoves without replacing the original stove. Replace the switch with the " SEFI KNOB." Moreover, Safe Kitchenware functions as "modular cooking". It has stored many cooking tutorial videos on an IC chip, allowing users to scan the QR code on the product through their mobile phones to access many demonstration videos. Even novice cooks can cook delicious dishes in this way.



The Safe Kitchenware ensures user safety through built-in IC detection, calculation, and execution. During regular operation, when the temperature reaches 70°C, the pot automatically connects to the gas stove, displaying a green light and temperature while emitting a beep. When cooking soup, it will prompt the user to reduce the heat when the temperature reaches 98°C to prevent the soup from overflowing and causing the potential danger of gas leakage. In addition, when performing high-temperature frying or stir-frying, the yellow light will be displayed when the temperature reaches 160°C, prompting the user to add food to the pot. When the oil temperature exceeds 210°C, the red light will prompt the user to reduce the heat and avoid carcinogenic fumes. However, if the user does not reduce the heat in time and the temperature exceeds 220°C, the "SEFI PAN will force the "SEFI KNOB" to turn off the fire to ensure safety. In addition, the " SEFI KNOB " can also be used as a timer.
