  • Publication number: 20200208843
    Abstract: A method for operating a cooktop appliance is provided. The method includes determining a temperature of a cooking utensil positioned on a heating element of the cooktop appliance, as well as determining a temperature of a food in the utensil positioned on the heating element of the cooktop appliance. The method also includes calculating a temperature differential between the temperatures of the food in the cooking utensil and of the cooking utensil itself. Subsequently, the method includes controlling a heating temperature of the heating element to reduce the temperature differential when the temperature differential is greater than a predetermined threshold to, e.g., reduce a risk of burning a portion of the food in the utensil.

  • Patent number: 10677472
    Abstract: A system and method for preheating a cooking chamber of an oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance may include one or more heating elements that operate according to a control algorithm that prevents the center oven temperature from exceeding a maximum desired temperature threshold. The control algorithm accounts for discrepancies between the measured oven temperature and the actual center oven temperature, particularly when preheating a cold oven. As a result, the control algorithm selectively operates one or more of the heating elements after the measured oven temperature is above the maximum desired temperature threshold. Preheating the cooking chamber in this manner will improve overall cooking performance.
