1. A cooking device comprising:
a cooking surface configured to support a cooking vessel;
at least one heating element disposed beneath the cooking surface and configured to generate heat in the cooking vessel;
a communication circuit in communication with a database; and
a controller in communication with a driving circuit of the at least one heating element and the communication circuit, the controller configured to:
access a calibration routine for the cooking vessel;
in response to the calibration routine, receive calibration data for the cooking vessel from the database;
configure the operation of the at least one heating element for the cooking vessel in response to the calibration data;
communicate with at least one temperature sensor, wherein the at least one temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the cooking surface proximate to the at least one heating element; and
monitor the at least one temperature sensor and identify a temperature response of the cooking vessel in response to a plurality of driving frequencies of the at least one heating element.
