Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a food preparation apparatus with a rotatable chopping tool for chopping foods having a control unit. The chopping tool is arranged or arrangeable relative to a vessel in such a way that foods chopped by means of the chopping tool are transported downwards by gravity to be collected in the vessel. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a method for chopping a food using a food preparation apparatus, a computer program product, and a use of a chopping attachment. A food preparation apparatus comprises a control unit configured to set a target parameter of a chopping process of a food by means of the chopping tool taking into account provided information. In this way, a particularly good and reproducible chopping result is achieved.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a food processor for performing a food preparation process by heating, chopping and/or mixing a food in a food preparation vessel, wherein the food processor comprises a sensor for measuring a condition of the food processor or a food in the food preparation vessel, and a monitoring device for monitoring the measured condition. The monitoring device is configured such that the monitoring device determines a monitoring result based on the measured condition and initiates an action in dependence of the monitoring result. The monitoring device is configured such that the monitoring takes place in dependence of a recipe for preparing a food. The present disclosure further relates to a method. By this means, a reproducible cooking result of high quality can be achieved with a particularly high degree of reliability and a guaranteed success can be better maintained.
