Method of operating a cooking oven, in particular a steam cooking oven

A cooking method for performing an integrated cooking function of a food item using a cooking oven, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving one or more primary cooking parameters for the integrated cooking function, wherein the received one or more primary cooking parameters includes a predetermined cooking temperature range selected from a plurality of predetermined cooking temperature ranges, each of said plurality of predetermined cooking temperature ranges corresponding to a particular humidity level;
• executing an algorithm that is configured to automatically set a plurality of secondary cooking parameters based on receipt of the one or more primary cooking parameters, the plurality of secondary cooking parameters being different parameter than the received one or more primary cooking parameters, the plurality of secondary cooking parameters constituting additional operational settings for cooking the food item based on the received one or more primary cooking parameters;
• said algorithm further configured to:
• access a database that includes a mapping between values of the received one or more primary cooking parameters and potential values of the plurality of secondary cooking parameters,
• select one of said potential values of the plurality of secondary cooking parameters that has been mapped to the received one or more primary cooking parameters, and
• operate the cooking oven based on the received one or more primary cooking parameters and the selected one of said potential value of the plurality of secondary cooking parameters.
