I have used this product before, and this description is false. The RFID reader for the recipe cards in built into the induction heater (all you have to do it waive the recipe card over the heater to activate). The handle has a wireless RFID transmitter that communicates with the induction heater to monitor the food 16 times per second. The result is perfectly cooked food with little effort. Because the pans are made for induction heating, the pan moves the water in a circular motion, so there is no need to stir the food, you just have to leave it there until it notify you it is finished. This is a great invention and is especially helpful when making foods that you would normally have to monitor the temperate frequently. The recipe cards are also pretty flexible, if you wanted to cook cheesecake, but wanted to try your own recipe, you could and it will turn out the same. This product is currently only available in Japan and is a little pricy.
