Control device for a food thermometer and system comprising control device and food thermometer

A system comprising

• a food thermometer, and
• a control device configured to control the measurement of temperatures by the food thermometer,
• wherein the control device is further configured such that an interval between temperature measurements by the food thermometer is controlled depending on the preparation of a food,
• wherein the control device is configured such that following a switching-on of the food thermometer, the interval between temperature measurements is initially small during an initialization phase and the interval between temperature measurements after the initialization phase is larger,
• wherein during the initialization phase a radio connection is made between the control device and the food thermometer,
• wherein the control device is configured such that the interval is increased during the supply of heat to a product to be cooked following a starting phase by the control device,
• wherein the control device is further configured to access an electronically stored recipe and to extract a desired temperature from the electronically stored recipe, and
• wherein the control device is further configured such that it increases the interval when (Tist−Tstart)≥(Tsoll−Tstart)/X and/or decreases the interval when (Tsoll−Tist)≤(Tsoll−Tstart)/X, wherein Tist is a measured actual temperature, Tsoll is the desired temperature, Tstart is a temperature in a product to be cooked prior to a supply of heat to the product to be cooked, and X is a number greater than 1.
