According to the invention, it is also preferred that it is proposed to reduce the required amount of energy, preferably via a display device, that the cooking chamber is charged completely simultaneously with cooking products which are released to one another and / or the cooking chamber is left with a certain further cooking product having a shorter cooking time than the remaining cooking time. Cooking time of the cooking products located in the cooking chamber and a higher average target value of the parameter during the remaining cooking time of the Leit-Garguts is charged, so that at least one target value of the Garraumklima determining parameter of the Leit-Garguts to the corresponding lower limit the tolerance band can be set at least temporarily.

According to the invention, the at least one parameter determining the cooking chamber climate is selected from the cooking chamber temperature, the humidity in the cooking chamber, the pressure in the cooking chamber, the flow velocity in the cooking chamber, the microwave energy in the cooking chamber, the power of at least one heating device, such as an electric or gas-operated heater A heater, a heat storage, a microwave generating device and / or an infrared radiation device, the performance of a device for supplying moisture, such as a steam generator and / or atomizer, the performance of a device for moisture removal, such as a fan and / or a shut-off device, and / or the performance of a Garraumzirkulationseinrichtung.

Finally, an inventive cooking appliance for carrying out a method according to any one of the preceding claims.

The invention is thus based on the surprising finding that a feed of a cooking chamber of a cooking appliance can be optimized by dividing food into cooking and subsequent cooking items and controlling a cooking space as a function of at least one parameter of a cooking product determining a cooking space climate he follows. In this case, it is provided in particular that the parameter determining a cooking chamber climate comprises a tolerance band with an upper and lower limit, within which an actual value of the parameter may deviate from an average desired value. Also, upper and lower engagement limits of an engagement band that are wider than the limits of the Tolerance bands are determined as a hard limitation of the deviation of the actual value from the average target value.

In a Garraumklima determining parameters may be, for example, the following variables: a target cooking space temperature, a power of a heater, such as a microwave energy source or the like, a nominal humidity in the oven, a power of a steam generator, a desired flow rate in the oven, a rotational speed of a blower device, a rotational speed of a fan wheel, etc. This list is not limiting and of course all other parameters determining a cooking chamber climate are also conceivable as parameters.

A Leit-food according to the invention is a food to be cooked, whose parameters determine a cooking space climate mainly. It can be provided that the Leit-food is first determined by a first introduced into a cooking food. This Leit-food remains while the Leit-cooking, as it is cooked or until another food is introduced into the oven, which has a shorter cooking time. Basically, it is provided that always the food with the shortest remaining cooking time, ie the shortest remaining cooking time, is automatically defined as a new Leit-Gargut, and this food determines the cooking space climate significantly.

It is also provided according to the invention that a desired browning of a cooking product, for example determined by an index for browning points, is taken into account in the determination of the cooking chamber climate. The higher the browning index, the more sensitive the food can react to temperature changes, so that a higher browning index can have an influence on a control priority and thus on the selection of the guide cooking product. For example, a tanning index of 1 may mean that a food must have at least an average actual oven temperature of 180 ° C for one minute. For example, a tanning index of 2 may mean that the average actual cooking space temperature can be experienced for 1m 30s or that the set cooking chamber temperature can be increased with reduced cooking time. The tanning index can be varied, for example, depending on a marinade of a food. Times and temperatures will be for the respective food items depending on a loading situation of the cooking appliance determinable, and are not generally determined in advance.

According to the invention, a feeding of a cooking chamber with a further food to be cooked is only possible if at least one tolerance band of a parameter of the food to be introduced overlaps with at least one tolerance band of the cooking food in the cooking space in at least one point. The limits of the tolerance bands are determined in particular empirically. If subsequent cooking items are already present in the cooking chamber of the cooking appliance in addition to the guide food, all tolerance bands of all items of a parameter must overlap or touch or overlap in at least one point, so that loading of the cooking space with the other item to be cooked is possible. If such an overlap does not exist, then no adequate cooking space climate can be set, so that an optimum cooking result for all food items to be cooked can not be achieved. In the case of non-overlapping tolerance bands, the food to be newly introduced remains locked until the items to be cooked have finished cooking and have been removed from the cooking space whose tolerance bands do not overlap or touch the tolerance bands of the parameters of the food to be newly introduced.

Furthermore, it is provided according to the invention that upper and lower engagement limits of an engagement band for parameters determining the cooking chamber climate can be provided. These are determined in particular empirically. These limits of intervention are wider than the tolerance band and represent hard limitations of the actual values of parameters with respect to their average nominal values. This is crucial in order to ensure an optimum cooking result. For example, minimum or maximum temperatures for certain food items may not be exceeded or undercut for a short time in order to prevent excessive browning or drying out of the food.

These upper and lower engagement limits also have another function. If an actual value of a parameter undershoots or exceeds the limits of its tolerance band or unintentionally the intervention limits, an adaptation of the desired value to a new desired value can be carried out according to the invention in order to ensure the desired cooking result. It is According to the invention, the extent of the increase or decrease of the new setpoint or the period in which the new setpoint value is applied is determined as a function of the deviation of the actual value of the parameter. Specifically, the new target value and the period should be determined by the value of the deviation of the actual value from the original target value and the time that the actual value takes to reach the original target value again.

Such an adaptation of the desired value of a parameter, in particular a parameter of a subsequent cooking product, is provided as it were. A Leit-Gargut influences the cooking space climate significantly, so that an overlap or touching the tolerance bands of the Leit- and the subsequent Garguts can cause the average actual value of a parameter is optimal for a Leit-Gargut, so close is at the target value of the parameter for the Leit-food, however, this actual value deviates significantly from the desired value of the subsequent cooking. Depending on the actual value of the parameter changed by the guide cooking product, it can therefore be provided that the desired value of the follow-up cooking product is changed after removal of the guide cooking product from the cooking chamber of the cooking appliance, depending on the average actual Value of the parameter of the subsequent cooking product. By means of such an adaptation, in particular, it should be achieved that the average actual value of the parameter approaches the original desired value and, if possible, coincides with this value before the end of the remaining cooking time of the subsequent cooking product. According to the invention, it is provided that an average actual value, which is higher than the original nominal value of the parameter, leads to a lowering of the average nominal value to a new nominal value equal to the lower limit of intervention and vice versa an average nominal value. Value lower than the original target value leads to an increase of the target value to the upper intervention limit of the parameter until an original target value coincides with the average actual value again.

For achieving an optimal cooking result, it is also provided according to the invention that not at any time a feed of a cooking chamber with any food is optimal, even if the tolerance bands essential parameters of the food, which are located in the cooking chamber of the cooking appliance and the newly introduced food overlap or touching. Rather, the invention provides that the loading of a cooking chamber with a new Leit-Gargut is also prevented when the cooking result of the food in the oven is negatively affected. In particular, such a charge should be prevented if an overrun or underrun of the tolerance bands or the intervention limits is favored or conditional by the new Leit-Gargut.

This is for example the case when a food with a low average target value of a parameter is in the oven and a new Leit-food with a high average target value is to be introduced into the oven, with the average actual value of the Garguts located in the cooking chamber is already far above the desired target value and thus a deviation is amplified. In contrast, a feed with a new Leit-Gargut that has a lower average target value, in this case favors, since thereby the average actual value of the food in the cooking chamber automatically approaches the average target value. Of course, this example is to be understood only as an example and should be understood representative of a variety of comparable constellations.

It is also provided according to the invention to group together a plurality of items to be cooked. This grouping can be carried out in particular taking into account tolerance bands and intervention limits of parameters of the food, so that corresponding items to be cooked, ie items with overlapping tolerance bands or engaging bands, can be displayed together on a display device or a display of a cooking appliance.

It is possible to make a division into at least three groups, wherein at least one tolerance band of a parameter from the first group corresponds to a tolerance band of a parameter of a second group and a parameter of a tolerance band of a third group with the parameter of the second group, but not with corresponds to the parameter of the first group, so that always a food of the first group with a food of the second group, or a food of the second group can be cooked with a food of the third group at the same time, with a simultaneous cooking of goods of the first and third group is not possible. In particular, if food of the second group requires a long cooking time, it is helpful to define it as a guide food. The Leit-Gargut thus determines a Garraumklima as long as no products of the first or third group are introduced into the cooking chamber or are located in this. Of course, it is possible to define a plurality of groups and to find for each group of items to be cooked corresponding groups for one or more parameters.

According to the invention it is also advantageous if a cooking time of one or more items to be cooked in the cooking chamber of a cooking appliance can be extended by an empirically determined time, for example, to compensate for temperature fluctuations during the introduction of new food. Such a period of time can be varied, for example, depending on a type of food, the amount of food to be cooked, its size or its weight.

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, are explained in the embodiments with reference to schematic figures of the method according to the invention. It is assumed that food is cooked in a cooking appliance, as it is sold, for example, under the trade name SelfCooking Center® by the applicant. The figures show:

In FIG. 1 1, a diagram 1 is shown, which has a Y-axis 3 representative of a temperature in a cooking chamber of a cooking device, for example in the form of a SelfCooking Center® in ° C and an X-axis 5 representative of a time course of a cooking process in seconds , For the cooking chamber climate determining parameter temperature of a particular food to be cooked, for example, the "roast pork", is a tolerance band 7 having a first upper value 8, representative of an upper limit, and a first lower value 9, representative of a lower limit, shown, wherein the values 8, 9 limit the tolerance band 7 by an average target value 11 of the parameter up and down. The average target value 11 of the parameter temperature is set at 210 ° C while the tolerance band 7 moves within limits between 200 ° C and 220 ° C. An average actual value 13 of the parameter moves within the tolerance band 7 in the given example. According to the invention, a further limitation of the actual value 13 is defined by engagement limits of an engagement band 15, an upper engagement limit 16 at 220 ° C. and a lower engagement limit 17 at 190 ° C is located.

According to the invention, such a tolerance band 7 and engagement band 15 can be assigned to each one cooking chamber climate and thus a parameter determining the cooking result in order to obtain an optimum cooking result, as described below.

For a better understanding, an embodiment of a method according to the invention will be described below with reference to 2 items of food of different types of cooking, wherein it is with The food to a "pre-baked frozen rolls" and on the other to "roast pork" acts. The selection of the items to be cooked and the parameters mentioned is of course to be understood as an example and may also apply to other items to be cooked and another parameter selection.

In the example given, the first type of cooking product, ie the "deep-freeze jars", requires a cooking chamber temperature of 230 ° C, a moisture content in the cooking chamber of 85% and a fan speed of 1500 revolutions per minute (PRM). The cooking time of the first Garguts is 8 minutes, which is also assumed by an offset load, so an empirically determined time to compensate for the additionally introduced into the oven load of 20 seconds. This empirically determined value, by which the cooking time is automatically extended, depends on a large number of factors, for example, an amount of food to be cooked and / or a size and / or quantity difference of the individual parts to be cooked.

The second type of food, in this case "Sehwein roast", requires a cooking chamber temperature of 210 ° C, a moisture content in the cooking chamber of 60% and a fan speed of 1000 RPM. The cooking time of the second food is 55 m, the offset load 60 seconds.

In the case of both foodstuffs, it is also assumed in the example that the limits of the tolerance band can deviate by +/- 10 ° C from the required temperature, while the upper and lower intervention limits of an intervention band are +/- 20 ° C away from this value. The tolerance band of the first type of food is thus between 220 ° C and 240 ° C, the upper limit of intervention at 250 ° C and the lower limit of intervention at 210 ° C. For the second type of food, the tolerance band is between 200 ° C and 220 ° C, the upper limit of intervention is 230 ° C and the lower limit of intervention is 190 ° C.

The food items are now divided into a guide and a subsequent food. This subdivision determines the priority of the control as well as an average nominal value of the parameters.

In the given example, food of the first type of cooking product is first introduced into the cooking space, thus it is the guide food to be cooked. An optional index can be assigned to the rolls, in In this case, the index A, so Leitgargut A. Once the first food was removed from the oven, the second food, which is a subsequent food with the optional index B, so Leitgut B, automatically, the new Leit -Gargut, so that then the cooking chamber climate after the former successive food and new Leit-food "roast pork" is determined. If now again food of the first Gargutart introduced into the cooking chamber, it is checked whether the remaining cooking time of the second food "roast pork" is shorter or longer than the cooking time of the newly introduced "Tiefkühlsemmeln". The food with the shortest remaining cooking time automatically forms the new food to be cooked and in turn determines the average nominal values of the parameters.

• Fällt die Ist-Garraumtemperatur eines ursprünglich leeren, aber auf 210°C vorgeheizten Garraums nach einem Beschicken des Garraums mit Schweinebraten unter die untere Eingriffsgrenze 17, so kann in Abhängigkeit des gemessenen Wiederanstiegs der Ist-Garraumtemperatur 13, also der Zeit, bis zu der die Soll-Garraumtemperatur 11 wieder erreicht ist, die Soll-Garraumtemperatur 11 intelligent geregelt, in dem vorliegenden Fall also erhöht, werden. Ohne eine solche Anpassung der Soll-Garraumtemperatur würde die durchschnittliche Soll-Garraumtemperatur 11, die ursprünglich festgelegt wurde, nicht erreicht werden. Nur durch die kurzzeitige Erhöhung der Soll-Garraumtemperatur 11 kann nämlich beispielsweise die nach der Beschickung fehlende Bräunungsenergie kompensiert werden. Als Resultat kann somit die gewünschte Bräunung des Schweinebratens sichergestellt werden, obwohl bei der Beschickung desselben ein Energieverlust im Garraum aufgetreten ist.

The average nominal cooking chamber temperature 11 according to FIG. 1 is considered, for example, as follows for roast pork:

• If the actual cooking chamber temperature of an originally empty cooking space preheated to 210 ° C. falls below the lower intervention limit 17 after loading the cooking space with roast pork, then the actual cooking space temperature 13, that is the time up to which the Target cooking space temperature 11 is reached again, the target cooking chamber temperature 11 is controlled intelligently, in the present case, therefore, increased. Without such an adjustment of the desired cooking chamber temperature, the average desired cooking chamber temperature 11, which was originally set, would not be achieved. For example, only by the short-term increase in the target cooking space temperature 11, for example, the lack of tanning energy after the feed can be compensated. As a result, thus, the desired browning of the pork roast can be ensured, although an energy loss has occurred in the cooking chamber during its charging.

Alternatively, it is possible that by the one or more times loading the oven with Tiefkühlsemmeln the average actual temperature of the pork roast on the average target temperature of Tiefkühlsemmeln, at least for a certain period of time is increased. Due to this increase, the cooking result of the pork roast is negatively influenced, since the average actual temperature in the cooking chamber during cooking of roast pork must not deviate significantly from the average nominal value of roast pork. This can be compensated according to the invention by reducing the average nominal temperature of the pork roast when there are no frozen jars in the cooking chamber of the cooking appliance. For example, the average desired cooking chamber temperature of the pork roast can be reduced to the lower limit of intervention of 190 ° C, so that over the entire cooking course of the pork roast an average actual temperature of 210 ° C is established. If the desired original average set temperature of the roast pork is again reached on average, the current desired temperature in the cooking chamber can be raised back to the original set temperature for roast pork, and the pork roast is cooked with the original parameters.

It is inventively provided that the adjustment of the average target temperature and the other parameters is limited by their upper or lower intervention limits. Increases or reductions that exceed these intervention limits carry the risk of negatively influencing the cooking result. Therefore, it may be provided that an introduction of frozen jam is blocked for a certain period of time, if it appears that the desired average temperature of the pork roast can not be guaranteed by lowering to the lower limit of intervention until the end of his Restgarzeit. If, for example, an average actual temperature of the pork roast leaves the tolerance band, for example, this value increases to 224 ° C., further feeding of the cooking appliance with freezer jars can be prevented. If, however, the average actual value of the temperature is changed by the roast pork feeds only within the limits of the tolerance band, further feeds with deep-freeze vials are feasible.

Of course, it can be provided that a large number of parameters for optimizing the cooking chamber climate is taken into account, wherein a feed with different food items or cooking product types can increase or reduce these parameters.

Also, according to the invention, an energy saving can be achieved by displaying to a user a group of items to be cooked or cooked, namely with a guide food which can be cooked, for example, with reduced humidity and / or reduced temperature. For example, pork roast could initially be cooked with a low setpoint temperature or setpoint humidity in the cooking chamber, if it is provided that later a feed with frozen jams takes place, which leads to an increase of the setpoint values.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2 an example with 3 Gargutarten described. These are a first type of food to Tiefkühlsemmeln, with a second type of food to roast pork and a third Gargutart to Flammkuchen. The corresponding values of the parameters determining a cooking chamber climate are shown in Table 1: <b> Table 1: </ b> Cooking chamber climate determining parameters of different types of cooking Food to be cooked 1 Food 2 Food 3 Product Type Frozen cakes roast pork Tarte Operating mode / temperature setpoint value CD 230 ° C CD 210 ° C CD 190 ° C Humidity target value 85% 55% 25% Fan level setpoint 1500 RPM 1000 RPM 2000 RPM Cooking time (min) 8th 50 4 Offset (sec) 20 60 25 Tolerance band temperature 240 - 220 ° C 220 - 200 ° C 200-180 ° C Temperature range max / min temperature (limit of intervention) 250 - 210 ° C 230-190 ° C 210 - 170 ° C Tolerance band humidity 100 - 70% humidity 70-40% humidity 40 - 10% humidity Humidity range max / min (limit of intervention) 100 - 55% humidity 85 - 25% humidity 55 - 0% humidity Other energy sources (eg microwave, storage, infrared, etc.) 60% of the cooking time with 100% additional power = 4.8 min 30% of the cooking time with 100% additional power = 15 min 90% of the cooking time with 100% additional power = 3.6 min Tolerance band energy sources 65 - 55% of the cooking time 35 - 25% of the cooking time 95 - 85% of the cooking time Limit of intervention energy sources In this form of energy only tolerance band active In this form of energy only tolerance band active In this form of energy only tolerance band active Tolerance band fan speed 1750 - 1250 RPM 1250 - 750 RPM 1750 - 2250 RPM Limit of intervention fan speed 2000 - 1000 RPM 1500 - 500 RPM 2500 - 1500 RPM

In the case of at least three food items of different types of cooking, a change in the priority of the items to be cooked, that is to say a changing choice of a guide item, is important. Here, food is divided into groups, in a group, the parameters of the food differ as little as possible. Since the tolerances for individual parameters are specified, the permitted deviations of the individual desired values within a group can be determined by the tolerance bands. If a food or a type of food can not be allocated to a group, since there is no overlapping of the corresponding tolerance bands, it is provided that a new group is generated.

According to Table 1, the parameters temperature, humidity, etc. are provided with tolerance values. The tolerance range for foodstuffs includes values of +/- 10 ° C for the parameter temperature, so that the lowest accepted temperature limit, ie the first lower value, for example, for deep-freeze jars 230 ° C - 10 ° C = 220 ° C and the uppermost accepted temperature limit , ie the first upper value, corresponding to 240 ° C. For roast pork, the limits of the tolerance band of the temperature parameter are corresponding and are at 200 ° C and 220 ° C, respectively. Also for Flammkuchen these considerations apply.

It can be seen from Table 1 that it is possible to cook frozen rolls and roast pork, taking into account the temperature parameter, since the tolerance bands of this parameter overlap. Such an overlapping of the tolerance bands is absolutely necessary for a common cooking of food items by means of a method according to the invention.

By the method according to the invention it is also determined when a loading of a cooking chamber with items to be cooked is to be prevented. In particular, two cases are distinguished.

1st case

Basically, the requirement is that the tolerance bands of parameters of cooking goods to be cooked together have to overlap, even if only in one value. As can be seen from Table 1, the tolerance bands of the parameters temperature and humidity of the first and second food on the one hand and of the second and third food on the other hand overlap. In contrast, the tolerance bands of these parameters of the first and third items to be cooked have no overlap. It follows that no simultaneous cooking of the first and third Gargüter is possible, however, feeds of the cooking chamber with first and second or second and third Gargütern possible simultaneously.

2nd case

If a user selects the loading of a cooking chamber with a food to be cooked, it must always be checked, in particular for repeated loading of a cooking chamber with the same food or a food of the same group of goods, whether through this feed the upper or lower limit of intervention in the Garraum located Garguts is achieved in a necessary (counter) rules or compensating or achieving these intervention limits is favored.

If an actual value of a parameter of a food item already located in the cooking chamber is already at the upper tolerance limit, it is prevented that the cooking chamber is loaded with food items which promote an exceeding of this tolerance limit. For example, the average actual temperature of the second Garguts roast pork from Table 1 can be increased by repeated loading of the first food Tiefkühlsemmeln so that the average actual temperature roast pork exceeds the upper tolerance limit of 220 ° C. This relationship is below in FIG. 2 shown.

In contrast, when the actual temperature is already at the upper tolerance limit, it is intended to favor those products which favor an approximation of the average actual value to its desired value. The third food Flammkuchen, for example, needed a lower target value of the temperature than the food to be cooked roast pork. If the average actual value of the temperature of the pork roast is increased by a repeated loading of frozen cakes, the user may be advised to lower this increased average pork roast temperature value by a single or multiple feeds of the tarte flambée. In this case, it can already be taken into account that certain parameters which determine the cooking chamber climate, such as, for example, the temperature or humidity, are influenced by the charge, that is to say the opening of the cooking chamber door.

An energy saving is already achieved by the fact that the utilization of the cooking appliance by the method according to the invention is very high, i. Always as many food items as possible can or should be cooked at the same time, even if this leads to "re-cooling".

FIG. 2 shows a diagram 20 of an exemplary time course of cooking of three food items according to Table 1 by the method according to the invention. In this case, a temperature in ° C is plotted on a Y-axis 22 and a time in hours, minutes and seconds is plotted on an X-axis 24. The actual value of the parameter temperature 26 and the average actual value of the parameter temperature 28 are plotted over time. The target value 29 of the parameter temperature for pork roast has a tolerance band with an upper value 30 and a lower value 32. Furthermore, the parameter 29 has an upper engagement limit 34 and a lower engagement limit 36 for pork roast.

At the beginning of the method according to the invention, a not shown cooking chamber of a cooking appliance in a first cooking phase 40 with a certain number of pork roast (not shown) is charged. The roast pork roast is thus defined at the beginning as a guide to cooking and determines the cooking space climate. After a short period of time should be in a second Cooking phase 42 a charge of the cooking chamber with a first batch Tiefkühlsemmeln (not shown) are made, on the one hand in the first cooking phase 40 to a temperature rise and the other in the second cooking phase 42 to a change of LeitGgguts due to their shorter residual Cooking time leads, so the frozen rolls are the new Leit-Gargut. The cooking space climate is adjusted according to the new Leit-food in the second cooking phase 42 and the parameter temperature is further increased, which leads to an increase of the actual value 28 of the average temperature. In the second cooking phase 42 thus two food items, roast pork and Tiefkühlsemmeln are cooked simultaneously. After removing the first batch of frozen drinks in a third cooking phase 44, in which the cooking space is again determined by the cooking pig roast as Leit-Gargut, which is why the actual temperature 28 decreases, takes place in a fourth cooking phase 46 a re-loading of the cooking chamber with a second batch of frozen food. Through this re-loading of the oven with Tiefkühlsemmeln the average actual value of the temperature 28 pork roast increases sharply, and almost to the upper tolerance limit 30, so that a further load of frozen food is locked. Preference is then given to a loading of the cooking chamber with Gargutarten that need a lower target value of the temperature than the original target value 29 of the temperature of the pork roast to adjust the average actual value 28 to the target value 29 can. After a short fifth cooking phase 48, in which pork roast again represents the guide food to be cooked, in a sixth cooking phase 50 follows a feed with the cooking product Flammkuchen. In a eighth cooking phase 54, the average actual value 28 of the temperature of the roast pork is brought closer to its original desired value 29 by repeatedly feeding with tarte flambée, after a short seventh cooking phase 52 in which only roast pork is again present in the cooking chamber. A finished cooking of the pork roast can now take place while maintaining this desired value 29 in a cooking phase 56.

Thus, in the second, third and fourth cooking phases 42, 44, 46, cooking of tarte cake (1st case) and in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th cooking phases 48, 50, 52, 54 were cooking of deep-freeze tins (2nd case ) to ensure that roast pork, deep-fry casserole and tarte flambée can be cooked, partially overlapping one after the other, with desired cooking results. In FIG. 3 a diagram 58 is shown with a Y-axis 22 'on which a Temperature is plotted in ° C. An X-axis 24 ' is representative of a time. In FIG. 3 is, as well as in FIG. 2 , that a repeated loading of a cooking chamber of a cooking appliance with the cooking food leads to a rise in the average actual value 28 'of the pig roast food. It shows FIG. 3 influencing the actual value 28 ' by three feeds with deep-freeze jars 60, 60', and 60 ". This repeated feed 60, 60 ' , 60 " with deep-freeze jars thus increases the average actual value 28' of the temperature of the roast pork in that the upper tolerance limit 30 'for roast pork is reached. In response to reaching this upper tolerance limit 30 ', after the third batch of finished frozen jars has been removed, the desired temperature of the roast pork roast is lowered to a correction value 62 which coincides with a lower limit of engagement of the roast pork. After a predetermined period of time, which depends inter alia on the progression of the average actual value 28 'of the temperature of the roast pork, the set value 62 is replaced by the original set value 29', and the cooking process is continued in a cooking phase 64. This is followed, for example, by recharging the cooking appliance with other food items, in the example given with tarte flambée in a cooking phase 66. After the flame cake has been finished cooking, the roast pork is finished cooking in a cooking phase 68.

An alternative course of a method according to the invention is in FIG. 4 with a diagram similar to those of Figures 2 and 3 shown. In this case, at the beginning of a cooking process, deep-freeze jars are introduced into the cooking chamber of a cooking appliance, with a feed of another cooking product, namely roast pork, being added to this feed during the cooking of the rolls. Following cooking of the deep-freeze jars, the cooking chamber is repeatedly charged with tarte flambée while the roast pork is being cooked. The average actual value 28 "of the temperature roast pork is still always higher than a desired target value 29" after completion of the cooking phases of the tarte flambée, so that the actual value 28 "by lowering the target value 29" for a certain Period to a new target value 70 the original target value 29 "can be approximated.

Of course, the method according to the invention is not limited to one parameter and in particular not exclusively to the one disclosed in US Pat FIGS. 2 to 4 represented parameters Temperature limited. It is also envisaged that parameters according to the invention should be carried out taking into account all other parameters determining a cooking chamber climate. In FIG. 5 a diagram 100 is shown, which takes into account, in addition to the parameter temperature, the parameter humidity of the food to be cooked. The individual values of the parameters are again known from Table 1. In this case, an actual value of a relative humidity in percent in the cooking chamber of a cooking appliance over time is plotted on the humidity scale 102. An average actual value 106 of the moisture differs in particular from an average actual value 28 '' of a temperature due to its slower reaction time, ie a slight time delay, in which case a desired value 108 of a moisture is corresponding to the desired value 29 '' the temperature according to the description of the preceding FIGS. 2 to 4 regulated.

Out FIG. 5 In this case, it can be seen that the method according to the invention, taking into account a plurality of parameters determining the cooking chamber climate, can regulate these parameters under the specifications of the respective cooking items, which leads to a further optimization of cooking results and energy savings.

In FIG. 6 a course of a cooking process according to the invention is shown taking into account the speed of a fan of a cooking appliance. In this case, a diagram 120 shows an actual value 26 ^{IV of} a temperature in the cooking chamber of a cooking appliance, an average actual value 28 ^IV and a desired value 29 ^{IV of} a temperature. Furthermore, a fan speed scale 121 and an actual value 122 of the speed of the fan is shown. It becomes clear that a cooking of tarte cake at the beginning of the cooking process, in which first roast pork and then three batches of frozen rolls are cooked, due to the lack of overlap of the temperature-tolerance bands and towards the end of the cooking process despite an adequate actual value 28 ^{IV of} the temperature is not possible because the actual value 122 of the speed of the fan for roast pork differs significantly from the minimum required value for tart pancake from Table 1. (The need to maintain the average set cooking oven temperature for pork roast also blocks freezer jams between the phases of blocking tarte flambée FIG. 6 the control of the fan speed to maintain the average target fan speed removed.)

Also, it may be provided according to the invention, as in FIG. 7 shown in a diagram 140 to supply additional energy Gargütern. This can be done for example in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation or the like. However, only a maximum amount of additional energy can be supplied to each item to be cooked, as described, for example, for pork roast in Table 1. If at the beginning of a cooking process repeated loading of a cooking chamber with deep-frying jars is carried out while at the same time a roast pork is located in this cooking space, then the deep-frying jars can be cooked faster with additional energy. This is illustrated by an actual value. A cumulated actual value 144 of the additionally introduced energy must not exceed the maximum limit for the supply of this energy assigned to the items to be cooked in the cooking chamber, such as the limit value 146 for roast pork. If this limit has been reached or exceeded, no additional energy may be used until the roast pork has finished cooking.

The features of the invention disclosed in the foregoing description, in the drawings and in the claims may be essential both individually and in any combination for the realization of the invention in its various embodiments.
