Abstract
A method for operating a cooking appliance, comprising: (a) providing a database with operating parameters of the cooking appliance; (b) obtaining recipe data from a recipe source; (c) extracting cooking process parameters from the obtained recipe data; (d) determining adapted cooking parameters by evaluating the extracted cooking process parameters in light of data from the database, and optionally of settings made by a user; and (e) operating the cooking appliance based on the adapted cooking parameters.
Claims18
A method for operating a cooking appliance, comprising:
- (a) providing a database with data for the cooking appliance, wherein step (a) is carried out by the cooking appliance or a remote device;
- (b) obtaining recipe data from a recipe source, wherein step (b) is carried out by the cooking appliance or the remote device;
- (c) extracting cooking process parameters from the obtained recipe data, wherein step (c) is carried out by the cooking appliance or the remote device;
- (d) determining adapted cooking parameters by evaluating the extracted cooking process parameters in light of data from said database with data, and optionally of settings made by a user, wherein step (d) is carried out by the cooking appliance or the remote device;
- (e) operating the cooking appliance based on the adapted cooking parameters, wherein step (e) is carried out by the cooking appliance;
- and
- (f) recording operation data of the cooking process and storing the recorded data in said database with data that is used to determine the adapted cooking parameters, wherein the recorded data is optionally further processed before being stored in said database, wherein step (f) is carried out by the cooking appliance or the remote device.
A method for operating a cooking appliance, comprising:
- (a) obtaining recipe data from a recipe source remote from the cooking appliance for cooking a first food item, wherein step (a) is carried out by the cooking appliance or a remote device;
- (b) extracting cooking process parameters from the obtained recipe data including a first heating method for cooking the first food item, wherein step (b) is carried out by the cooking appliance or the remote device;
- (c) interrogating a database with data for the cooking appliance and determining adapted cooking parameters, including a second heating method different from said first heating method, by evaluating the extracted cooking process parameters in light of data from said database with data, and optionally from a user setting, wherein step (c) is carried out by the cooking appliance or the remote device;
- (d) operating the cooking appliance based on the adapted cooking parameters to execute a cooking process to cook the first food item, wherein step (d) is carried out by the cooking appliance;
- and
- (e) recording operation data of the cooking process and storing the recorded operation data in said database with data that is used to determine the adapted cooking parameters, thereby automatically adapting the database to preferences of a user of the cooking appliance, wherein the recorded operation data is optionally further processed before being stored in said database with data, wherein step (e) is carried out by the cooking appliance or the remote device.
