Abstract
A detachable camera assembly is securable to a cooking tool by means of magnets on a lower surface. The housing is offset from the cooking tool by the magnets and a shroud extends between a camera opening and the cooking tool with a seal at the end of the shroud. A fan draws air into the housing and expels part of the air through the shroud. A part of the air also flows through openings for allowing light to exit the housing from LEDs mounted within the housing. A controller within the housing captures and transmits images responsive to instructions received using a wireless transceiver.
