TAMPA, Fla. - (January 6, 2003) - Imagine a future in which your cook-top thinks and reacts to the world around it. A cook-top so advanced that it can adjust the cooking surface to the pan size for maximum energy efficiency or will only heat up when there is a pan present, or better yet, shut itself down once the pan has been removed. A future where control knobs, that hide dirt, grease and grime, have been replaced with easy-to-clean "sensor touch" controls that regulate exacting heat settings for intricate recipes or switch to multiple cooking zones for varying pan sizes all with the touch of a finger. If all that was not fantastic enough, how about a cook-top with a child-safety lock, so little hands or wayward pets can explore without harm and the best feature of all is that when you leave for vacation or along business trip, you will never worry again about leaving the cook-top on as it will shutdown all functions after it detects your absence.
