METHOD OF CONDUCTING A LIQUID-BASED COOKING PROCESS, CONTROLLER AND COOKING HOB ASSEMBLY

摘要

The present invention in particular is related to a method of conducting a liquid-based cooking process for food (8) with a cooking hob assembly (1) which comprises a cooking zone (3) with a heating element, a controller (4) and a temperature sensor (5). With the method, the controller (4) measures the liquid temperature of liquid inside a cooking vessel (6) via the temperature sensor (5) immersed in the liquid and controls the liquid temperature.

主权项

1. Method of conducting a liquid-based cooking process for food with a cooking hob assembly which comprises a cooking zone with at least one heating element, a controller and a temperature sensor, in which:
the controller measures the liquid temperature of liquid inside a cooking vessel placed on the heating element of the cooking zone via the temperature sensor which is at least partly immersed in the liquid; the controller controls the liquid temperature of the liquid in accordance with a preset temperature profile over time by adequately powering the heating element on which the cooking vessel is placed in dependency of the measured liquid temperature; wherein the controller carries out at least one of the following optional operational phases:
the controller as an initial or intermediate operational phase powers the heating element with a pre-set heat-up power level in an open or closed loop control so as to heat up the liquid to a pre-set temperature; andthe controller determines in an initial or intermediate operational phase an amount of liquid contained in the cooking vessel and uses the amount of liquid thus determined in at least one subsequent operational phase as one of the parameters for calculating or setting the heating power level of the heating element.
