Abstract: A household appliance device includes a control unit configured to output during performance of an appliance function a suggestion relating to an appliance function parameter assigned to the appliance function, with the control unit configured to take into account a history for the suggestion.

Abstract: A food preparation system includes a control unit which is designed to guide through a process step of a process, which is in the form of a recipe and comprises the process step in the form of a recipe step. The control unit is further designed to guide at least temporarily simultaneously to the process step at least one further process step, which is in the form of a recipe step.

Abstract: A food preparation system includes a control unit designed to guide through a process step of a process and to initiate, during guidance through the process, a machine-user interaction which is independent of the guidance through the process.

Abstract: A household appliance apparatus includes a hyperspectral image capture unit configured to capture in an operating state a state of an object in an image capture region, and a control unit configured to ascertain an item of information in the operating state based on the state of the one object.

Abstract: A household appliance system includes a household appliance, an external unit for operating the household appliance, and a control unit designed to perform a characterization process and to enable operation of the household appliance by the external unit, when the characterization process has been completed.

Abstract: A household appliance system includes a household appliance, an external unit for operating the household appliance, and a control unit designed to automatically check in one operating mode at least in intervals as to whether the external unit is arranged in an operating range and in the event that the external unit is arranged within the operating range to enable operation of the household appliance by the external unit.

Abstract: A cooking utensil includes a drive unit which is configured to drive at least one consumer, and a receiving unit which is configured to receive energy in a contactless manner and to supply energy to the drive unit. The cooking utensil can be part of a cooking system which further includes a cooktop apparatus having an induction unit configured at least to supply energy for the receiving unit of the cooking utensil.

Abstract: A food preparation system includes a food treatment unit having a food treatment function, a functional unit having an auxiliary function associated with the food treatment function, and a control unit provided to cause execution of a recipe and to control the food treatment function and the auxiliary function in an open-loop and/or closed-loop manner when guided by the recipe.

Abstract: A household appliance device includes a control unit configured to output during performance of an appliance function a suggestion relating to an appliance function parameter assigned to the appliance function, with the control unit configured to take into account a history for the suggestion.

Abstract: A cooking device includes an information unit having an information storage unit for storing an intrinsic placement unit characteristic of a placement unit which is placeable on a cooking surface so as to be heatable. The information unit is arranged on the placement unit outside of a heating region of the placement unit for communication with a communication unit.

Abstract: A stovetop device includes a heating area adapted to heat cookware placed thereon and/or food to be cooked thereon, and a control unit configured to operate at least one subarea of the heating area in at least one operating state as at least one target temperature burner and to assign different target temperatures to different positions of the at least one target temperature burner.

Abstract: In a method for operating a cooktop, a process of removal and placement of a cookware element with respect to a starting position and an end position is detectable by a detection arrangement. A control unit forms a heating zone to match a detected cookware element. The process can be independently associated by the control unit in one of two ways, a first way in which the process involves a movement of cookware element from the starting position into the end position and a movement of the heating zone into an area of the end position, with a target temperature, set by a user interface, being carried over to the area of the end position, a second way in which the process involves removal of cookware element from the starting position and placement of another cookware element in the end position, with a target temperature set to a default value.

Abstract: A cooking utensil for positioning on a cooktop plate to perform a heating operation includes a functional unit and a receiving unit which is configured to receive energy in a contactless manner and to supply energy to the functional unit. The functional unit includes at least one control unit which manages energy supplied by the receiving unit to supply energy to the functional unit in at least one operating state.

Abstract: A cooking utensil for positioning on a cooktop plate to perform a heating operation includes a functional unit and a receiving unit which is configured to receive energy in a contactless manner and to supply energy to the functional unit. The functional unit includes at least one control unit which manages energy supplied by the receiving unit to supply energy to the functional unit in at least one operating state.
