Abstract

A method for carrying out a cooking process in a cooking space of a cooking appliance, comprising the following method steps: simultaneously introducing a plurality of different cooking products arranged on product trays and having associated base cooking parameters into the cooking space; determining at least one updated cooking parameter of each cooking product introduced into the cooking space as a function of the number of introduced product trays, the base cooking parameters, a pre-set optimisation value (T_T) and/or an optimisation value (T_opt) which can be determined individually for an optimised cooking process which is to be carried out; initiating the optimised cooking process simultaneously for all introduced cooking products; and removing the fully cooked cooking products from the cooking space.

Claims

1. Method for carrying out a cooking process in a cooking space of a cooking appliance, comprising the following method steps:

simultaneously introducing a plurality of different cooking products arranged on product trays and having associated base cooking parameters into the cooking space;

determining at least one updated cooking parameter of each cooking product introduced into the cooking space as a function of the number of introduced product trays, the base cooking parameters, a pre-set optimisation value and/or an optimisation value which can be determined individually for an optimised cooking process which is to be carried out;

initiating the optimised cooking process simultaneously for all introduced cooking products; and

removing the fully cooked cooking products from the cooking space.

2. Method according to claim 1, wherein the updated cooking parameter is the cooking time.

3. Method according to claim 1, wherein the updated cooking parameter is the cooking space climate, in particular the cooking space humidity and/or the cooking temperature.

4. Method according to claim 1, wherein the updated cooking parameter is a rotational speed and/or the direction of movement of a fan arranged in the cooking space.

5. Method according to claim 1, wherein the fully cooked cooking products are removed from the cooking space simultaneously.

6. Method according to claim 1, wherein the fully cooked cooking products are removed from the cooking space in succession.

7. Method according to claim 1, wherein the optimisation value which can be determined individually is calculated or set.

8. Method according to claim 1, wherein after a first cooking product is selected the cooking appliance automatically selects and displays cooking products matching the first cooking product.

9. Method according to claim 1, wherein after the selected cooking parameter is optimised the optimisation value is displayed.

10. Method according to claim 1, wherein the selected cooking products have the same base cooking parameters apart from the cooking time.

11. Method according to claim 1, wherein the selected cooking products have different base cooking parameters.

12. Method according to claim 1, further comprising a core temperature of the cooking products, preferably determined by a core temperature probe, is used as a switch-off criterion for the cooking process.

13. Cooking appliance, in particular a commercial cooking appliance, for carrying out the method according to claim 1, said cooking appliance comprising an operating device for optimising of the cooking process by way of updated cooking parameters.
