It is the object of the present invention to at least partially overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular to provide an improved possibility of regularly ending several cooking processes taking place in different cooking stations at the same time.
- a cooking system having at least two individually controllable cooking stations and at least one coordination device connected to them in terms of data technology, which is set up to set operating parameters of the cooking stations and to receive a target end of cooking time that applies jointly to the cooking stations, with each of the cooking stations having at least one Is assigned degree of cooking monitoring device, which is set up to determine a degree of cooking of an item to be cooked located at the respective cooking point, the cooking system being set up to
- This cooking system has the advantage that by adjusting the time of an operating time or running time of at least one of several cooking processes running in parallel, a more common target cooking time end can be achieved with a high degree of probability without the quality of the cooking results being noticeably reduced.
- the at least two individually or separately controllable cooking positions can be present in the same cooking appliance (eg cooker, hob, double oven) or in different cooking appliances.
- the cooking system can include an unlimited number of cooking positions in any combination as a single device or combination device.
- a cooking point is understood to mean, in particular, a cooking device at which food to be cooked can be cooked or a cooking process can be carried out.
- a cooking station can include, for example:
- a cooking cavity e.g., an oven, a microwave oven, a steamer, or any combination thereof, e.g., an oven with a microwave function and/or a steamer function;
- An item to be cooked located "at" a cooking location can, for example, include an item to be cooked arranged in a cooking chamber or on a cooking zone.
- a cooking point is integrated into a household cooking appliance or corresponds to a household cooking appliance.
- a household cooking appliance can have one or more cooking positions.
- the cooking stations can be controlled individually, they can also be operated without using a specification of a common desired end of cooking time, e.g. according to the conventional type of household cooking appliances.
- the functionality of the individual household cooking appliances is thus advantageously not restricted by the present method.
- the coordination device can be used in particular as a central input and/or control medium for the cooking stations.
- the coordination device can have a user interface, e.g.
- the coordination device is a dedicated or independent device.
- the coordination device is integrated into a user terminal, in particular a mobile user terminal such as a smartphone, tablet PC, etc is.
- the function of the coordination device can then be implemented in particular by running a corresponding application program on the user terminal.
- the coordination device is integrated into one of the cooking appliances, which has at least one of the cooking locations.
- the cooking system has exactly one coordination device. It is a further development that the cooking system has several coordination devices, e.g. respective coordination devices that are present on some or all of the cooking appliances. In the latter case, one of the coordination devices can be active and the others passive, e.g. analogous to a master-slave arrangement.
- the active coordination device can, for example, be that coordination device on which a user plans a menu or on which he enters data and which then also monitors the cooking processes.
- the several coordination devices can be synchronized, i.e. a data synchronization between the active coordination device and the at least one passive coordination device takes place.
- the passive coordination devices it is also possible for the passive coordination devices not to appear functionally, ie for the adjustment of the operating parameters etc. to be transparent.
- the cooking stations can be connected to the coordination facility, e.g. by wire or wirelessly, e.g. via an Ethernet, WLAN or Bluetooth connection.
- the operating parameters of the cooking sites may include user-adjustable operating parameters such as a cavity temperature, a choice of heating elements (e.g., bottom heat, top heat, grill mode, convection, or any combination thereof), wattage for microwave mode, cooking level, etc.
- the operating parameters of the cooking stations can also include operating parameters that cannot be set by the user, such as the operation of a fan, an antenna position or rotational speed of a rotary microwave antenna, and so on.
- the user-adjustable operating parameters can be entered by a user at the coordination device and/or automatically taken from a recipe database.
- the fact that the coordination device is set up to set the operating parameters of the cooking locations means that the coordination device can transmit values of operating parameters to the cooking locations or the associated cooking appliances, which values are adopted by them for the cooking processes taking place there.
- the fact that the coordination device is set up to receive a target end of cooking time that applies jointly to the cooking stations includes, in particular, that a user can set the target end of cooking time on it.
- the desired end of the cooking time can be received by the coordination device via remote control, e.g. via a network from a user terminal if, for example, a user is still out of the house.
- certain cooking stations can be assigned to the coordination device, e.g. automatically or by a user. For example, for a desired food preparation, all cooking positions that are basically available can be displayed, e.g. in the form of a list, and the cooking positions to be used can be selected from them.
- a degree of cooking monitoring device can be understood to mean any device that is set up to determine a degree of doneness of the food being cooked at the cooking location.
- the degree of doneness can include, for example, a degree of browning of the food, a core temperature of the food, and so on.
- a degree of doneness monitoring device can include at least one sensor such as a camera, an IR sensor, a temperature sensor, etc., the degree of doneness being determined in a basically known manner by evaluating the measured values of the at least one sensor.
- At least one cooking degree monitoring device is assigned to each of the cooking locations can include that each of the cooking locations is assigned at least one dedicated cooking degree monitoring device.
- a cooking degree monitoring device can also be shared by several cooking locations.
- the probable end of the cooking time is the predicted point in time at which the food being cooked or prepared at a cooking point will be well cooked.
- a currently determined degree of cooking can be compared with stored table values or a characteristic curve and the remaining cooking time and, analogously to this, the desired end of the cooking time (by adding the current time to the remaining cooking time) can be determined.
- the fact that the cooking system is set up to adjust at least one operating parameter for a cooking point includes, in particular, that the coordination device transmits the at least one adjusted or changed operating parameter to the household cooking appliance and it is accepted by the household cooking appliance to set the cooking point.
- the fact that the cooking system is set up to adjust at least one operating parameter for a cooking location in such a way that the desired end of the cooking time is reached “during operation” of this cooking location includes the cooking process being kept running. This does not include the fact that the operation of the cooking area is interrupted to extend the cooking process, e.g. by interrupting the energy supply to the food for a period of time determined by the target end of the cooking time, e.g. by switching off all heat sources.
- the method can include precisely specifying a desired end of cooking time. It can also include that several target cooking time ends are specified for different (each several) cooking positions. In the latter case, the advantage is achieved that different groups of food can be finished cooking at different times, for example to finish cooking together as part of a menu sequence (e.g. starter, first course, second course, dessert, etc.).
- a menu sequence e.g. starter, first course, second course, dessert, etc.
- the cooking system is set up to adapt at least one operating parameter for this cooking location such that an associated cooking time is shortened.
- the desired end of the cooking time can advantageously also be reached by a cooking process that is initially running too slowly without the quality of a desired cooking result noticeably deviating from a non-adapted cooking process.
- the shortening of the cooking time can be achieved in a further development by increasing the energy introduced into the food (temperature, microwave power, etc.), e.g. by increasing the cooking chamber temperature, the wattage of a microwave oven, etc.
- the energy introduced into the food can be increased, for example by increasing at least one heating source that is already in operation, such as a resistance heating element, and/or by switching on at least one additional resistance heating element, a microwave generator, by introducing superheated steam, etc.
- the cooking system is set up to adapt at least one operating parameter for this cooking point in such a way that an associated cooking time is extended.
- the desired end of the cooking time can advantageously also be reached by a cooking process that is initially running too quickly, without the quality of a desired cooking result noticeably deviating from an unadapted cooking process.
- the desired end of the cooking time can be reached without the associated cooking process having to be interrupted. By avoiding an interruption in the cooking process, pastries or souffles can be prevented from collapsing, undesired after-cooking, hardening, softening, etc. of food.
- the lengthening of the cooking time can be achieved in a further development by reducing the energy introduced into the food (temperature, microwave power, etc.), e.g. by reducing the cooking chamber temperature, the wattage of a microwave oven, etc.
- the reduction in the energy introduced into the food can be by reducing at least one heating source already in operation, such as a resistance heating element, and/or by switching off at least one resistance heating element, a microwave generator, by supplying cooling air, etc.
- a (temporal) tolerance band is assigned to the desired end of the cooking time, with the cooking system being set up to adapt at least one operating parameter for a cooking location only when the probable end of the cooking time is outside the tolerance band. This achieves the advantage of avoiding having to adjust the at least one operating parameter even if the difference between the probable end of the cooking time and the desired end of the cooking time is only very small, for example less than 30 s or 1 min.
- the cooking system is set up to adapt the common target end of cooking time to the probable end of cooking time for this cooking point.
- This has the advantage that in the event that not all intended cooking processes can be finished cooking at the previously set target cooking time end (possibly taking into account the tolerance band), the possibility is opened up of a new target cooking time end for all cooking processes Find. For this purpose, it is checked whether the operating parameters of the other cooking stations can be adapted to a new common desired end of cooking time. If this is the case, the cooking system, in particular the coordination device, can adapt the operating parameters of the other cooking locations accordingly.
- a probable end of cooking time for a specific cooking location does not match the common target cooking time end can include that the cooking time for a specific cooking location or cooking process can no longer be shortened or lengthened in such a way that the previously valid target cooking time end is reached. This can be the case, for example, if the previously valid target end of cooking time can no longer be reached even if the operating parameters are changed and/or if the cooking result of this cooking process would then be noticeably worse.
- the desired end of the cooking time is adjusted automatically, possibly with a message being output to a user. It is a further development that the desired end of the cooking time is only adjusted when a release has been given by a user—optionally before the end of the specified waiting time.
- the cooking system is set up to match the common desired end of cooking time to an expected end of cooking time for that cooking point whose anticipated end of the cooking time does not correspond to the previously set target cooking time, which is closest in time to the previously set target cooking time.
- the cooking system is set up to change the previously set target end of cooking time so that it then corresponds to an expected end of cooking time for this cooking point that is closest in time to the previously set target end of cooking time.
- the previously set target end of cooking time is changed as little as possible in terms of time.
- the target end of cooking time can be adjusted in such a way that a deviation (e.g. standard rejection) of the probable end of cooking time for all cooking points from the target end of cooking time is minimal, etc.
- the cooking system is set up to leave the originally set target cooking time end unchanged until it is reached.
- the cooking system is set up to individually set the end of the cooking time for this cooking location. This cooking location is then advantageously controlled (by setting the at least one operating parameter) in such a way that the probable end of the cooking time is as close as possible to the (unchanged) setpoint end of the cooking time. This development is particularly advantageous if the desired end of the cooking time that was originally entered should not or cannot be changed. If the above condition occurs, a corresponding notification can be issued to a user.
- the cooking system is set up to specify a cooking time range (“cooking time limit range”) for at least one of the cooking locations or for each cooking process, which is limited by a permissible minimum cooking time and permissible maximum cooking time in relation to the associated cooking process is.
- a cooking time range (“cooking time limit range”) for at least one of the cooking locations or for each cooking process, which is limited by a permissible minimum cooking time and permissible maximum cooking time in relation to the associated cooking process is.
- This has the advantage that a cooking result is prevented from being worsened by a cooking time that is too short or by a cooking time that is too long.
- setting up a schedule for parallel cooking at a number of cooking locations can be simplified in this way.
- the cooking time limit range depends on the food to be cooked and/or its type of preparation ("recipe"). In a further development, the cooking time limit range is determined before the start of the associated cooking process, e.g. is calculated and/or retrieved from a database. In a further development, the cooking time limit range is determined again during the associated cooking process, e.g. on the basis of a degree of cooking last determined. This is advantageous in order to be able to reliably maintain a good cooking result.
- the cooking system is set up to individually define start times for the cooking processes assigned to the cooking locations.
- start times for cooking processes of different lengths can be set in such a way that their common target cooking time end is reached particularly reliably.
- the starting times or normal cooking durations of the cooking processes can be entered by a user or set automatically, e.g. on the basis of an electronic recipe or cookbook or a schedule.
- the initially set operating parameters that have not yet been adjusted can, also in general, correspond to a recipe listed and/or values specified by a user, e.g. in relation to a cooking chamber temperature, cooking level, etc.
- the cooking system is set up to create a timetable for food preparation using a number of cooking locations before the start of the cooking process and to determine the various start times for the operation of the cooking locations or the cooking processes from this together with the initially specified desired end of cooking time .
- the coordination device can also be used to display a suggestion for a classic preparation that is more efficient in terms of time or (in terms of time) longer.
- the user searches for the dish/sequence of courses to be prepared from an electronic cookbook, for example via the Internet.
- the usual (standard) cooking times and, if necessary, cooking time limit ranges of the items to be cooked separately are also stored and can be called up in the cookbook.
- the application program uses this information together with the initially set target end of cooking time to calculate the respective start times for cooking processes to be carried out in parallel and, if applicable, the start of food preparation at which a user should start preparing the food, including manual work steps, at the latest.
- the selected cooking positions are started at the respective start times at which the food to be cooked should be completed under the operating parameters set by the user, usually at the joint target cooking time end. This can include that a cooking station or a cooking process is only started automatically in a time-controlled manner if the cooking station has been previously loaded with food, for example automatically (eg by object recognition) or by input from a user.
- the object is also achieved by a method for operating a cooking system, having at least two individually controllable cooking stations, in which
- a respective expected end of the cooking time is determined on the basis of a respective determined degree of cooking and
- At least one operating parameter for this at least one cooking location is adjusted in such a way, that the common target cooking time end is reached by this at least one cooking point during operation.
- the method can be designed analogously to the cooking system and vice versa, and has the same advantages.
- 1 shows a cooking system with a coordination device and several cooking locations
- FIG. 1 shows a sketch of a cooking system 1, G1 to G6, ..., GN with a coordination device 1 in the form of a smartphone equipped with a corresponding application program or "app" and N individually controllable cooking locations G1 to G6, ...., G.N.
- the first five cooking positions G1 to G5 are integrated into a stove 2, namely a cooking chamber G1 and four cooking positions G2 to G5 of a hob.
- a steamer 3 has a cooking area G6 in the form of a steam treatment room and a microwave oven 4 has a cooking area GN in the form of a microwave treatment room.
- the coordination device 1 and the cooking stations G1 to GN or the associated household cooking appliances 2 to 4 are connected to one another in terms of data technology, in particular bidirectionally, e.g. via a wireless data transmission standard such as Bluetooth, WLAN, etc.
- the coordination device 1 is set up (programmed) for this by its app ), to set the operating parameters of the cooking positions G1 to GN.
- the coordination device 1 can thus serve as a remote control for the cooking stations G1 to GN or the household cooking appliances 2 to 4.
- the operating parameters can be operating parameters that can be set by a user and/or can be called up via a recipe database, or can be operating parameters that cannot be set by a user.
- the operating parameters ter can also be chronological progressions of individual operating parameters, eg a temperature profile.
- Operating parameters for the cooking positions G1 to GN can include, for example:
- a cooking chamber temperature or temperature profile and choice of heating elements e.g. top heat, bottom heat, grill and/or hot air heating elements of the cooking chamber G1;
- a wattage of the microwave treatment room GN if at least one electrical heating source such as a resistance heating element etc. should also be present, also a temperature of the microwave treatment room GN and/or a heating power of the at least one resistance heating element.
- a user can enter a desired end of cooking time that applies or is intended for all or some of the cooking locations G1 to GN.
- At least one cooking degree monitoring device (not shown) is assigned to each of the cooking locations G1 to GN, which is set up to determine the cooking degree of an item to be cooked located at (ie, in or on) the respective cooking location G1 to GN, for example a cooking room/treatment room temperature sensor, a camera, an IR sensor (e.g. IR camera), a core temperature sensor, etc.
- the degree of doneness determined from the measurement data can be stored in the respective household appliances 2 to 4 or in the coordination device 1.
- At least one operating parameter for this cooking location(s) G1 to GN can be adjusted in such a way that the common target cooking time end is reached again during ongoing operation of this cooking location G1 to GN , because by adjusting or changing the at least one operating parameter, the expected individual end of the cooking time that is applicable below is correspondingly shortened or lengthened.
- the coordination device 1 can adapt at least one operating parameter for this cooking location if an expected end of the cooking time for a specific cooking location G1 to GN or cooking process is later than the target cooking time end (which, for example, can only be seen or arise while the cooking process is running). that an associated cooking time is shortened.
- This can be implemented in such a way that an energy input to the food is increased, for example by increasing the power applied to a heat source (electrical resistance heater, IR radiator, induction coil, microwave generator, etc.), switching on at least one previously deactivated heat source, generating hot steam, etc.
- a heat source electrical resistance heater, IR radiator, induction coil, microwave generator, etc.
- the coordination device 1 can adapt at least one operating parameter for this cooking station so that an associated cooking time is extended.
- This can be implemented in such a way that the energy input to the food to be cooked is reduced, for example by reducing the power applied to a heat source (electrical resistance heater, IR radiator, induction coil, microwave generator, etc.) and/or by actively cooling the food to be cooked or the cooking chamber e.g. by activating or boosting a cooling fan, etc.
- a heat source electrical resistance heater, IR radiator, induction coil, microwave generator, etc.
- a user makes a meal (sequence) or recipe selection, for example from an electronic cookbook, for example via the coordination device 1, or from a conventional cookbook. It is assumed, for example, that more than one cooking location G1 to GN must be operated in parallel in order to prepare the recipe, for example the cooking chamber G1 and at least one of the cooking locations G2 to G5.
- a step S2 the coordination device 1 queries whether several cooking processes are to be ended at a common target cooking time end. If this is the case ("Y"), in a step S3 the coordinating device 1 queries the desired joint target end of cooking time and enters it, for example, by a user. If not ("N"), in a step S4 the coordinating device 1 queries the individual desired cooking time ends for each cooking location G1 to GN and enters them, for example, by a user.
- step S5 following both step S3 and step S4, the cooking locations G1 to GN to be used to prepare the food are queried, e.g. from a list of all the cooking locations G1 to GN that can be controlled by the coordination device 1.
- a schedule for food preparation can be created automatically, e.g. using the coordination device 1 .
- This can output at least the start times of the various selected cooking locations G1 to GN or the associated cooking processes, possibly also the time at which a user should start preparing the food at the latest.
- Possible input variables for creating the schedule can include, for example, a minimum and maximum allowed cooking time for each cooking process, a normal duration of manual work steps, and so on. These input variables can be downloaded from a database, e.g. the (possibly customized) electronic cookbook, or entered by the user.
- the schedule can be checked by a user at the coordination facility 1 and changed if necessary.
- the schedule at the coordination device 1 is activated.
- the coordinating device 1 then monitors the current time, starts the individual cooking locations G1 to GN or cooking processes according to the start times determined for them from the schedule and, if selected, ensures that the cooking locations G1 to GN selected for this purpose reach a common target cooking time end. as detailed in the following Figure 3.
- FIG. 3 shows further method steps for operating the cooking system 1 to 4, G1 to GN, specifically after activating the schedule in step S7 from FIG.
- step S8 the cooking processes associated with the selected cooking locations G1 to GN are started at the starting times determined from the schedule according to step S6, each with at least one (starting) operating parameter, e.g. a cooking chamber temperature, specified from the recipe or by a user , a wattage, a cooking time, a particular choice of heaters in an oven cavity, etc.
- starting e.g. a cooking chamber temperature, specified from the recipe or by a user , a wattage, a cooking time, a particular choice of heaters in an oven cavity, etc.
- step S9 it is monitored or determined whether or not the degree of doneness of the food being prepared has reached a respective target degree of doneness. If this is the case ("Y") for a specific item to be cooked, the associated cooking process is ended in step S10, e.g. by switching off the associated cooking location G1 to GN.
- step S11 it is checked whether the probable end of the cooking time for this item to be cooked—at least within a specified time tolerance range—corresponds to the specified common target cooking time end. If this is the case ("Y"), the process branches back to step S9.
- step S12 it is checked in a step S12 whether this cooking process can be varied over time by adapting or changing at least one associated operating parameter in such a way that the specified common target cooking time end would then be reached by this cooking process.
- step S13 it is checked in step S13 whether the currently calculated probable end of the cooking time is later than the desired end of the cooking time ("Y") or not, i.e. earlier than the desired end of the cooking time ("N"). . If so, in step S14 at least one operating parameter this cooking station G1 to GN adjusted by the coordinating device 1 and transmitted to the associated cooking station G1 to GN or to the associated household cooking appliance 2 to 4 for setting that the cooking process is shortened to match the common target cooking time end.
- step S15 at least one operating parameter of this cooking station G1 to GN is adjusted by the coordinating device and transmitted to the associated cooking station G1 to GN or to the associated household cooking appliance 2 to 4 for setting that the Cooking process is extended to match the common target cooking time end.
- step S12 If, however, it was recognized in step S12 that this cooking process cannot be varied over time by adapting or changing at least one associated operating parameter in such a way that the specified common target cooking time end would be reached again ("N"), a check is carried out in step S16 whether a new common target end of cooking time can be achieved by adjusting the time of all other cooking processes involved.
- step S17 all other selected cooking processes are adjusted (shortened/lengthened) by means of the coordination device 1 in such a way that a new common target cooking time end is expected to be reached.
- the user can be informed of the change in the desired end of the cooking time, e.g. by displaying a corresponding message on the coordination device 1 . Then it branches back to step S9.
- step S18 the target cooking time end is changed for this cooking process in step S18 from an individual cooking time end that no longer corresponds to the common target cooking time end of the other cooking locations G1 to GN, i.e. is "individualized". , and then it branches back to step S9.
- the user can be informed of this, e.g. by displaying a corresponding message on the coordination device 1.
- FIG. 4 shows a chronological progression of several cooking processes as part of food preparation, in particular using method steps S1 to S18. Only the cooking processes of the cooking locations G1, G2 and GN are shown, but other cooking locations G3 to G5 etc. can also be operated, which behave here in an analogous manner to the cooking processes at the cooking locations G1 and G7.
- the initial setting parameters advantageously correspond to the setting parameters specified by the recipe/recipes or by a user, for example a cooking chamber temperature or profile for the cooking chamber G1, a cooking level or a cooking level profile for the hotplate G2, etc.
- the associated cooking times t_gar_1, t_gar_2, ..., t_gar_N are measured in such a way that all cooking processes should be finished by the same target cooking time end t_end.
- the degrees of cooking of the items to be cooked at the cooking points G1 to GN are determined (as indicated by t_mess) at regular intervals, and it is checked on the basis of whether the cooking processes continue to be shared Target end of cooking time t_end to be finished. This is the case here for the cooking stations G1 and GN shown, even without changes to their operating parameters, as indicated by the cooking times t_gar_1 and t_gar_N.
- the degree of cooking for the cooking point G2 is measured at a point in time t_mess and the probable end of the cooking time calculated from this is later than the common target end of the cooking time t_end (including a specified tolerance range), as shown by the duration t_gar_2 with the individual end of the cooking time t_pd_2 indicated. It is now checked whether the originally set target cooking time end t_end at the cooking location G2 can still be maintained if the operating parameters of the cooking location G2 are adjusted or changed in such a way that the associated cooking process can be accelerated without leaving its cooking time limit range .
- the coordinating device 1 therefore determines new operating parameters under the setting of which the common target cooking time end t_end at the cooking location G2 is maintained (as indicated by the time period t_gar_2_neu) and transmits them to the cooking location G2 or to the associated household -Cooking device 2.
- the cooking station G2 or the household cooking appliance 2 accepts these adjusted operating parameters and now controls the cooking station G2 with them.
- all cooking processes are finished by the initially specified target cooking time end t_end.
- the coordination device 1 can increase a cooking level of the cooking location G2.
- FIG. 5 shows a further progression over time of several cooking processes as part of food preparation, in particular using method steps S1 to S18.
- FIG. 4 only the cooking processes of the cooking locations G1, G2 and GN are shown, but other cooking locations G3 to G5 etc. can also be operated, which behave analogously here to the cooking processes at the cooking locations G1 and G7.
- the coordination device 1 therefore checks whether the cooking processes taking place at the other cooking locations G1, GN can be delayed in such a way that all cooking processes can be completed at a common new desired end of cooking time t_end_neu, which here corresponds to the predicted or probable end of cooking time t_pd_2. It is assumed for the present embodiment that this is possible.
- the coordinating device 1 determines new operating parameters for the other cooking locations G1, GN, under the setting of which the new target end of cooking time t_end_neu is maintained and transmits them to these cooking locations G1, GN or to the associated household cooking appliances 2 to 4.
- the adapted operating parameters are adopted for these cooking locations G1, GN, so that their cooking durations t_gar_1_new, t_gar_N_new are extended accordingly.
- the coordination device 1 can lower a cooking chamber temperature of the cooking chamber G1.
