Abstract: A cooking equipment includes an oven cavity (2); at least one energy source (3), operable to provide energy to food placed inside the oven cavity (2); a plurality of sensors (5), configured to provide respective measurement signals (STC, STWR, STWI, STE, STF1, . . . , STFN, SH), indicative of respective quantities relating to a cooking process for cooking food in the oven cavity (2); and a control device (8), having at least one cooking program stored therein and configured to drive the at least one energy source (3) in accordance with the cooking program, based on the measurement signals (STC, STWR, STWI, STE, STF1, . . . , STFN, SH) from the sensors (5).

Abstract: A cooking equipment includes a first database, containing first energy consumption data, indicating energy required to maintain, operating conditions prescribed by a cooking program stored in a control device, in the absence of food; and a second database, containing second energy consumption data-indicating additional energy to be supplied in excess of energy of the first energy consumption data to have a unit weight of the food processed according to the cooking program. The control device includes a processing unit that estimates daily energy consumption for the cooking program from the first and second energy consumption data. The first energy consumption data relate to respective individual iterations of the cooking process and include an initial energy excess associated with a first iteration of consecutive iterations of the cooking process; and a common energy level indicative of energy associated with subsequent iterations of the consecutive iterations of the cooking process.
