  • Publication number: 20200245809
    Abstract: A method of detecting an overload of a cooking appliance (10) with food to be cooked is described, in which the food to be cooked is optically detected and/or a cooking chamber humidity profile and/or cooking chamber temperature profile is/are detected and evaluated during an ongoing cooking process in order to draw conclusions about an overload of the cooking appliance (10), taking into account the selected cooking program. A warning signal is output if an overload of the cooking appliance (10) has been detected. Further described is a cooking appliance (10).

  • Publication number: 20160088972
    Abstract: A method for providing cooking programs for at least one selectable product to be cooked, which can be cooked in at least two different charges in a cooking chamber of a cooking appliance. Cooking processes conducted depending on charge-dependent parameters are replaced by cooking programs that depend solely on fixed parameters. A cooking program is assigned to each charge respectively. A cooking process is conducted as a function of at least one charge-dependent parameter at least once for each charge, with a caliber-dependent parameter determined by a core temperature of the product to be cooked being selected as the charge-dependent parameter. A cooking process that leads to a specific cooking result is selected for each charge, with the cooking result being determined by the core temperature of the product and a cooking program being stored for each selected cooking process after the charge-dependent parameter is replaced by a fixed parameter.

  • Patent number: 8269151
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for displaying the curve when a desired climate has been reached in a cooking compartment of a cooking appliance by taking into account at least one actual value of the first variable that changes over time and is characteristic of the climate in the cooking compartment. Said method is characterized in that the actual value of the first variable is detected at least once during an interval t0 to t1 and is compared with a desired value of the first variable, said desired value characterizing the desired climate, a point in time t2 when a second interval is to begin and/or the point in time t3 when the desired climate has been reached is/are estimated in accordance with said comparison, and the course of the first variable over time is taken into account at least once when estimating the point in time t3 during a second interval t2 to t3, wherein t2?t1. The invention also relates to a cooking appliance for carrying out such a method.

  • Patent number: 8147888
    Abstract: A method for managing cooking programs first comprises selecting, at a point in time (t0), a type of item to be cooked (i), items (j) of the type of item to be cooked (i), and various treatment planes (k) of a cooking compartment that are to be filled at a point in time (t2) with the items (j). Then, each treatment plane (k) is filled at point in time (t2) with the items (j). Then, in dependence on at least the filling of the cooking compartment with items to be cooked at point in time (t2), a first cooking temperature is set at a point in time (t3). Then, a signal for removing the cooked items (j) from the cooking compartment is emitted at a point in time (t4ki) for each treatment plane (k).

  • Patent number: 7409311
    Abstract: A method for cooking a cooking load includes at least two particularly individual items for cooking, the cooking state of which is characterized by at least two cooking state parameters, including a first cooking state parameter and a second cooking state parameter, in a cooking chamber with application of at least one measuring device for recording values of at least one property of at least one cooking load, for determining at least one of said cooking state parameters, which alters depending on the cooking process, whereby at least two of the items for cooking in the cooking load, differ in size, total surface area, volume, weight and/or diameter, in particular, mean diameter.

  • Patent number: 7232978
    Abstract: A method for controlling a delta-T cooking process includes (a) selecting of a set core temperature KTs and a delta-T value for the food to be cooked, (b) introducing the food to be cooked into the cooking space at an initial core temperature KT0; (c) increasing the actual cooking space temperature GTa as a function of the actual core temperature KTa over the course of at least one first time interval in such a way that an essentially constant difference approximately on the order of magnitude of the delta-T value is maintained between GTa and KTa until KTa=KTs+A and thus corresponds to a maximum value GTa-r, where A is a temperature value smaller than delta-T; and finally (d) stepwise and/or continuously decreasing the actual cooking space temperature GTa during a second time interval to a final cooking space temperature of GTe=KTs+B, where B is a temperature value of 0?B<A, in such a way that, when GTa becomes essentially the same as GTe, KTa reaches KTs more-or-less simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 7150891
    Abstract: A method for managing a cooking process in a cooking chamber according to a cooking program with one cooking process probe inserted at least partially into a product to be cooked in the cooking chamber for the detection of at least two temperature values by at least two temperature sensors, includes a determination by the cooking process probe of temperature curves of a surface temperature T0 of the product to be cooked, a core temperature KT of the product to be cooked, and/or a cooking chamber temperature. The method includes detection of a faulty insertion of the cooking process probe external to the product to be cooked by using recorded temperature curves, generation of at least one acoustic and/or optical warning signal, changing to an emergency program at least at such a time as the cooking process probe is arranged in the cooking chamber, and aborting the cooking program at least at such a time as the cooking process probe is arranged outside of the cooking chamber.
