| Research Abstract |
When a professional and a non-professional cook using the same method, there are often differences in the quality of the food prepared. In this paper, we focused on the "power of observation" during the cooking process as a factor in the cooking skills that affect the finished dish.
In an analysis of "pan-frying", a basic cooking method, this study compared a professional with a non-professional who cooked using the same method. A third party checked and recorded their eye movements, especially at important stages during cooking. Eye movement distances were also recorded with gaze point detection based on image processing. Finally, we compared the final product through quality estimations. Our results confirmed that this method can lead to the establishment of a new means to evaluate cooking technique : "power of observation".
