#CMT# #/CMT# The apparatus has a heating device for heating a cooking space (10) e.g. pan, utilized for receiving liquid medium (11) i.e. frying oil, and a temperature sensor (50) for determining the temperature of the medium and for transmitting data to a device controller (30). The controller has a switching device (31) for switching-off safety-relevant functions and for providing an optical or acoustic warning signal, when the determined temperature of the medium exceeds a predetermined temperature of preferably 130 degree centigrade, which is above the evaporation temperature of water. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for operating a cooking apparatus. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Multi-function cooking apparatus for use in a commercial application e.g. large-scale catering establishment, cafeteria and restaurant, for cooking liquid or creamy food e.g. soup and goulash, or deep-fried food i.e. meat. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The switching device switches off the safety-relevant functions and provides an optical or acoustic warning signal, when the determined temperature of the fluid medium exceeds a predetermined temperature which is above the evaporation temperature of water, so that the cooking person can switch the cooking mode accordingly, and the cooking person is prevented from spraying water on the frying oil, thus avoiding injury of the cooking person caused by explosion hazard caused by spraying water on the frying oil, and hence increasing the safety of the cooking person. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic front perspective view of a multi-function cooking apparatus. 10 : Cooking space 11 : Liquid medium 30 : Device controller 31 : Switching device 50 : Temperature sensor. |
