Device and method for determining the inner temperature of food

摘要

A temperature sensor (20) detects the surface temperature of cooking item and ambient temperature around cooking item particularly at a location inside the cooking chamber (10) surrounding the cooking item. A distance sensor (22) determines the multiple distances to measuring points (36) set on cooking item surface. A calculating unit calculates the temperature inside the cooking item based on surface temperature and ambient temperature, determined distances, elapsed time measured during preparation of item by measurement units and start temperature of cooking item. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) cooking device; and (2) cooking item temperature determination method.
