Method for operating a domestic cooking appliance and domestic cooking appliance

A method for operating a household cooking appliance, said method comprising:

• operating a food treatment apparatus of the household cooking appliance for a predetermined time period with one of the at least two parameter configurations,
• treating food located in a cooking chamber of the food treatment apparatus locally differently by means of the at least two parameter configurations,
• following an expiration of a time period, determining a measured-value distributions of a surface property of the food with a sensor directed into the cooking chamber,
• determining a quality value by comparing at least two different scalar variables calculated from the measured-value distribution, and,
• when the quality value does not meet a predetermined quality criterion, subsequently operating the food treatment apparatus with another of the at least two parameter configurations.

A household cooking appliance, comprising

• a cooking chamber;
• a food treatment apparatus having at least two parameter configurations for treating food located in the cooking chamber;
• a sensor directed into the cooking chamber to determine measured-value distributions of a surface property of the food;
• and
• a control unit configured to:
• operate the food treatment apparatus for a predetermined time period with one of the at least two parameter configurations,
• treat the food located in a cooking chamber of the food treatment apparatus locally differently by means of the at least two parameter configurations,
• following an expiration of a time period, determine a measured-value distributions of a surface property of the food with the sensor directed into the cooking chamber,
• determine a quality value by comparing at least two different scalar variables calculated from the measured-value distribution, and,
• when the quality value does not meet a predetermined quality criterion, subsequently operate the food treatment apparatus with another of the at least two parameter configurations.
