Method and an apparatus for processing foodstuff

A method for processing foodstuff, using a device that comprises a source for processing the foodstuff and a controller, the controller being arranged to control at least two heating elements of the source individually, the method comprising:

• providing the foodstuff having first and second surface areas;
• obtaining information that is indicative of a chromatic property of the first surface area of the foodstuff;
• processing the foodstuff using the source so as to effect a change of the chromatic property of the first and second surface areas of the foodstuff;
• and
• using the obtained information and predetermined calibration data to control the change of the chromatic property of the second surface area of the foodstuff;
• comprising determining whether a condition exists such that
• when the condition exists, using the controller to control the source to change of the chromatic property of the second surface area of the foodstuff using the obtained information and the calibration data, and
• when the condition does not exist, using the controller to control the source to change of the chromatic property of both the first and second surface areas using the obtained information.
