Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring and/or controlling a temperature related condition of an item, including from a location different than a location at which the food item is located, are disclosed. At least one remote unit has a temperature sensor, a computing device configured to analyze measured temperature data, and a user interface. The user interface displays information regarding a temperature related condition of the item via light or visual signals. A control unit may wirelessly communicate with the remote unit. The control unit may be used to program the user interface to display particular light or visual signals in response to particular temperature related conditions. The control unit may instruct a temperature control mechanism to adjust the temperature of the item.
