Abstract: In a method for controlling a cooking process of a cooking item contained in a cooking container, the sound of the cooking process is detected by means of at least one acoustic sensor and the course of the sound is directly analyzed for determining of a temperature and in particular the boiling point of the cooking item.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection assembly (1) for closing an electric contact, comprising a connection part (3) having at least one first electric contact (5, 17) and a movable cover element (6, 15) for covering the contact (5, 17) and a base part (10) that can be connected to the connection part (3) and that has at least one second electric contact (6, 15), wherein the connection part (3) comprises an opening (4, 20) that can be closed by the cover element (6, 15). The cover element (6) is arranged such that, when the connection part (3) is connected to the base part (10), it exposes the opening (4) such that the first contact (5, 17) is connected to the second contact (6, 15) in a conductive manner.
