Abstract: A method for determining the moisture within a cooking chamber of a cooking device has the following steps: a) an acoustic oscillation generating in a resonance chamber, b) a control unit receiving the signals picked up by a microphone in the resonance chamber, c) the control unit determining the frequency spectrum of the acoustic oscillations present in the resonance chamber on the basis of the received signals and determines the speed of sound within the cooking chamber on the basis of the frequency spectrum, d) the control unit receives receiving a temperature value; and e) the control unit determines the moisture within the cooking chamber by means of the temperature value and the speed of sound.

Abstract: A loading and/or unloading station of at least one cooking device with a plurality of insertion levels defining insertion heights for food in at least one cooking chamber, the at least one insertion and/or food carrier which can be loaded with at least one food can be placed at each insertion height, the loading and/or unloading station including a sensing device for determining the loading of the cooking chamber, which has at least one camera device for recording images which are evaluated or can be evaluated in a data processing device.

Abstract: A method for conducting a treatment program in a preparation chamber of a food preparation appliance comprises: (a) determining at least one first value of the preparation chamber atmosphere and/or of the atmosphere surrounding the food preparation appliance before selection and/or beginning of the treatment program, (b) storing the first value, (c) determining at least one second value of the preparation chamber atmosphere and/or of the atmosphere surrounding the food preparation appliance after loading the cooking product into the preparation chamber or after introduction of a lime removal and/or cleaning agent into the preparation chamber and/or after beginning of the treatment program, (d) determining at least one third value from the first and second value, (e) comparing the third value with the stored values, and (f) conducting the treatment program as a function of the result of the comparison of the third value with stored values.

Abstract: Described is a refrigerated cabinet comprising at least one goods compartment opening adapted to be closed by a rolling night blind, said refrigerated cabinet being e.g. a refrigerated (freezer) chest or a refrigerated (freezer) shelf cabinet, in which the rolling night blind(s) (1, 1?) is/are held in a rolled-up state in their inoperative position. According to the invention, the support of the or of at least one of the rolling night blinds (1, 1?) comprises at least one loose bearing (5). In addition thereto, the or at least one of the rolling night blinds (1, 1?) is preferably supported so as to be slidable along the longitudinal axis of its blind carrier shaft (4).
