Abstract: A system for recording a physical property of an item to be cooked or of a cooking process auxiliary means during a cooking process performed by a cooking appliance (10) comprises: —a sensor means (20) for sensing the physical property of the item to be cooked or of the cooking process auxiliary means; —a first transmission means for wirelessly transmitting a status signal freely through space, which status signal corresponds to the physical property of the item to be cooked or of the cooking process auxiliary means, wherein the first transmission means is connected to the sensor means (20); —a first receiving means (22) for receiving the pot status signal transmitted by the first transmission means, the first receiving means (22) being arranged in a separate unit (12), which is independent from the cooking appliance (10); —a second transmission means (24) electrically connected to the first receiving means (22), the second transmission means (24) being configured to forward the status signal transmitted by t

Abstract: A microwave oven, in particular for a domestic appliance. The microwave oven includes an oven cavity at least partially enclosed by a cavity wall. The microwave oven also includes a microwave generator, in particular a magnetron, arranged out of the oven cavity. A matching section is interconnected between the magnetron and the cavity wall. The matching section covers an opening in the cavity wall. A magnetron antenna extends from the microwave generator into the matching section. At least one antenna extension is arranged inside the oven cavity. The antenna extension penetrates the opening in the cavity wall. The antenna extension is electrically connected to the magnetron antenna.

Abstract: The invention relates to a microwave oven comprising an oven cavity (2), a microwave generator (3) for generating microwaves and a waveguide (4) for guiding the microwaves to the oven cavity (2), wherein the waveguide (4) includes a reflector element (5) comprising a plurality of reflection surfaces (5.2), the reflector element (5) being fixedly arranged within the waveguide (4) or integrated in the waveguide wall in order to reflect the microwaves into the oven cavity (2) in a distributed manner.
