Method and an apparatus for processing foodstuff

A method for processing foodstuff using a device that comprises a heating 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 a first surface area and a second surface area;
• providing 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 controller to control the change of the chromatic property of the second surface area of the foodstuff using the provided information and predetermined calibration data;
• comprising determining whether a condition exists such that:
• when the condition exists, the controller controls the heating source to change of the chromatic property of the second surface area of the foodstuff using the provided information and the calibration data such that a desired outcome is achieved for both the first and second surface areas, and
• when the condition does not exist, the controller controls the heating source to change of the chromatic property of both the first and second surface areas using the provided information.
