Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method for determining the residual time until a cooking process of a foodstuff ( 12 ) has been finished. At first a set temperature value for a core ( 14 ) of the foodstuff ( 12 ) is defined. Next the actual temperatures in the core ( 14 ) of the foodstuff ( 12 ) at predetermined times are measured and the time dependence of the measured temperature in the core ( 14 ) of the foodstuff ( 12 ) is determined. At last the time dependence of the measured temperature is compared with the set temperature value and “the residual time of the cooking process is estimated. The invention relates further to a corresponding apparatus for determining the residual time until a cooking process of a foodstuff ( 12 ) has been finished.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
