How to Choose the Shape of the Pan

Nowadays, as the oven is widely used, a variety of pans of different shapes occur to meet different demands of different people. While, when using many kinds of pans, what troubles users is that the food on the corners of the pan is easily overcooked. It is resulted from the uneven distribution of the heat in the corners. Meanwhile, when selecting the pan's shape, the neglect of considering the shape of the oven may cause the waste of the oven's space. So we are faced with the problem that how to choose the optimal pan's shape based on the users’ demands and the shape of the oven. To solve the problem, we develop a model to help decide the shape of pans to choose. In the modelling process, the main factors we consider are the user's focus and the shape of the oven. When considering the shape of the pans, we do not consider the rare shape for particular use since we develop the model for the use of oven and pans under normal conditions. During the modelling process stated in this paper, we define users’ different demands with continuous data discretization method.
