  • Publication number: 20230272921
    Abstract: A cooking system includes at least two individually controllable cooking stations. Each cooking station is operably connected to a degree of cooking monitoring apparatus which ascertains a degree of cooking of food to be cooked at the cooking station. A coordinating facility is connected to the cooking stations for data communication and sets operating parameters of the cooking stations and receives a target cooking time end common for the cooking stations. The cooking system determines during a cooking process running at the cooking stations an expected cooking time end in response to an ascertained degree of cooking, and adapts in the event that the expected cooking time end for at least one of the cooking stations does not match the common target cooking time end an operating parameter for the this cooking station such that the common target cooking time end is achieved during running operation by this cooking station.
