NeoPotra
Smart Fume-Capturing Universal Lid
NeoPotra is a smart universal pot lid that captures and purifies fumes at the source. It integrates electrostatic filtration, replaceable oil-absorbing cotton, and a micro fan to cut airborne grease by ~30–50% and lower ventilation energy. An LCD/indicator shows status (green) and filter replacement (red). AI uses sensors and a mini camera to monitor cooking and predict filter aging, sending cleaning alerts to extend lifespan with reusable modules. An adjustable oil-mist sprayer doses oil precisely, mists it onto food to avoid over-oiling, and keeps oil warm for taste.
