Overview
Meet KLOVE KNOB - an intelligent sous chef disguised as a stove knob which can be retro fitted to any stove. Klove brings voice-assisted interactive recipes, creativity and fun to any kitchen. Surprise yourself and everyone else by searing and flambéing your way to perfect results every time. Klove knob as an intelligent conversational cook timer can vary cook time based on cooking vessel used & the quantity of ingredients and also learns your preferences & cooking patterns over time.
 


Life's too short for eh meals, or uh oh moments!

Those moments when you've just taken your eyes off the stove to get the doorbell and the milk has boiled over. Or spent hours trying to scrape the burnt muck off the bottom of the pan. All that is a thing of the past. One little knob takes you from 'Uh oh!' to 'Oh Wow!'
Turn the Klove Knob to a perfectly cooked dish. Every. Single. Time.

The voice enabled companion Klove app helps with each step of preparing your meal. The Klove knob monitors heat settings in real time and the app alerts you when needed. Klove keeps you connected, healthy and in control.

Here are some big features we're excited about:

So - Is it a glorified cooking timer? No...

No, Klove Knob isn't a glorified cooking timer. It adds a lot of value to consumers compared either App based timer or Alexa Timer:

  • App timer or Alexa do not have cognitive knowledge as how long it takes for the food to cook. The user has to know the time required or refer a cookbook everytime they cook.
  • App timer or Alexa won't know possible ways to cook the same food, so can't offer options for setting the cooking time. For example, App timer or Alexa won't know that eggs can be hard boiled or soft boiled, or Pasta can be cooked in the pressure cooker or open pan. Hence won't offer user options to set different cooking times.
  • Clear alert and notification: If you have multiple burners cooking at the same time, you won't know which one is ready when the timer goes off.
  • Smart Geo-fencing: If you leave home while you are cooking, because you have a lot on your mind, you will get alerted.
  • App timer or Alexa won't learn the actual cooking time on your cooktop. Hence it cannot personalize the cooking time for you.
  • App timer or Alexa timer cannot set the time automatically as per your recipe. 

 

Here's what's behind all that smart.

 
 
Geofencing feature: Klove app reminds you to switch off the stove when you step out.
 
Trigger App from Knob: Automatically open Klove App when stove knob is turned on. This enables hands free operations rights from the beginning. Just say what you want to cook and Klove app will guide you through the recipe with voice instructions and timer control.

 

Klove Knob and App - Smart Timer
E.g: Klove knows that Pasta can be boiled in an open pot or pressure cooker. Klove then sets the appropriate cooking timer based on that detail of how you cook.

Klove Knob was created out of the passion to bring joy back into the kitchen. There is one thing we're obsessed with: giving smart people smart technology. Our smart kitchen products make cooking easy and joyful. We make great technology simple.

We are a bunch of creative engineers and entrepreneurs leading a smart kitchen revolution. We've cooked up a storm in our labs and in test kitchens to bring you the best, smartest technology. Now we can't wait to get it into your kitchen so you can start experimenting with it.
