The method comprises obtaining a unique identifier and cooking data for the food item, and checking for a record of the unique identifier in a memory of the cooking apparatus. If a record of the unique identifier is located in the memory, then the cooking apparatus will not cook the food item. Otherwise a cooking process based on the cooking data to cook the food item is performed and the unique identifier subsequently stored in the cooking apparatus memory. Accordingly, cooking data for a given instance of a food item can only be used once in order to activate a cooking process performed by the cooking apparatus The identifier may be in the form of a bar-code, RFID tag, in a form which may be inputted by a keypad, or supplied from a transmission network coupled to a computing server. A number of cooking apparatuses may be linked via a data communication system (figs 3,4) so that the unique identifier may be stored on any of the linked apparatus and the present invention may thus features product recall as well as the ability to track food item sales via a cooking data communications system. The cooking apparatus may have the ability to compensate for weight, voltage or temperature variation and the system may allow certain items to be cooked at the same time. An example of creating the unique identifier and cooking data is disclosed (Fig 5). |
