A method for detecting an influence of microwaves on a measurement value of a temperature sensor of a core temperature probe of a cooking appliance, includes: recording the measurement value of the temperature sensor; determining the slope of the course of the recorded measurement values in at least one analysis interval (A, B) which is in a predetermined relation to a switch-on time and/or a switch-off time of a microwave generator; determining whether the slope lies above or below a predefined threshold; interpreting the exceedance of or falling below the threshold to the effect that the corresponding temperature sensor is not located in a food to be cooked and/or the core temperature probe is not correctly inserted into the food or into a receptacle provided for the same.
A core temperature probe for a cooking appliance, comprising at least one temperature sensor and a connection to a control unit of the cooking appliance, wherein a microwave trap is arranged between the temperature sensor and the connection, the core temperature probe being configured to be inserted into food to be cooked, wherein the core temperature probe includes a handle region, and wherein the microwave trap is arranged in the handle region.
A core temperature probe for a cooking appliance, comprising at least one temperature sensor and a connection to a control unit of the cooking appliance, wherein a microwave trap is arranged between the temperature sensor and the connection, the core temperature probe includes a handle region and an insertion region, and the temperature sensor is arranged in the insertion region, and wherein the microwave trap is arranged in the handle region.
A core temperature probe for a cooking appliance, comprising at least one temperature sensor and a connection to a control unit of the cooking appliance, wherein a microwave trap is arranged between the temperature sensor and the connection, the core temperature probe includes a handle region and an insertion region, the temperature sensor is arranged in the insertion region and at least one electric line extends from the insertion region through the handle region to the connection, and the microwave trap is arranged in the handle region such that it can prevent electromagnetic waves in the microwave range, which propagate in and/or along the line, from reaching the insertion region.
