Abstract: The method prevents or inhibits, during a heating process, burning in a food heating device (20) of a flowable food substance against a heating surface (6) delimiting or contained in a device's cavity (21) that contains the food substance. The heating device comprises an agitator (4) movable in the cavity (21). The method includes the steps of: introducing the flowable food substance into the cavity (21); heating the heating surface (6) and moving the agitator (4) at an agitator speed (41,42) to generate in the cavity (21) a flow of the food substance over the heating surface (6) and in contact therewith; and disturbing the flow of the food substance to break and/or causing asymmetric flow of the food substance in the cavity (21).
