Abstract
The present invention relates to a system (1a; 1b; 1c; 1d; 1e) for preparing foods (100), comprising a housing (10) for receiving the food (100), a recognition device (20) for recognizing at least one food carrier (200) couplable with the system (1a; 1b; 1c; 1d; 1e), and thereby recognizing the weight of the food carrier (200), as well as a determining device (40) for determining the tare weight of the food based on the detected weight of the food carrier (200).

A system for preparing foods, comprising a housing for receiving the food, a recognition device for recognizing at least one food carrier couplable with the system, and thereby recognizing the weight of the food carrier, as well as a determining device for determining the tare weight of the food based on the detected weight of the food carrier.
A food carrier for use in a system for preparing foods, comprising a housing for receiving the food, a recognition device for recognizing at least one food carrier couplable with the system, and thereby recognizing the weight of the food carrier, as well as a determining device for determining the tare weight of the food based on the detected weight of the food carrier, comprising a code readable by the code scanner, an NFC counter-module for communication with at least the NFC module or a magnetic counter-switching module for interaction with the magnetic switching module.
A method for automatically determining the weight of food in a system for preparing food, with a housing for receiving the food, comprising the steps:
- recognizing at least one food carrier, couplable with the system, on or in the housing;
- assigning a weight to the recognized food carrier;
- and
- determining the tare weight of the food based on the detected weight of the food carrier.
