Abstract

A method of monitoring a cooking process using an over-the-range appliance mountable over a cooktop appliance includes obtaining an image of a cooking utensil that is positioned on the cooktop appliance and is performing a cooking process. The method further includes determining that a lid is required for the cooking process, e.g., based on a recipe being run as a software application on the over-the-range appliance. The image may be analyzed using artificial intelligence techniques to determine that the lid is not present when required, and responsive action may be implemented, e.g., by turning off the cooktop appliance or providing a user notification.
