The invention relates to a method for cooking, cooking or baking a food in an oven, in particular in a household oven, which has a control with a storage element provided with input means and at least one display, with the steps:

• a) activation of a dialog operation between the operator and the control by the operator by means of the input means;
• b) display of stored food to be prepared on the display by the controller;
• c) Selection of a food to be prepared from the food displayed according to step b) by the operator by means of the input means, wherein for the selected food cooking, cooking or baking parameters are stored in the storage means.

method This type are well known in the art. There are in particular Home stoves available, in the control of various foods are deposited, the Operator of the oven, so z. B. by the housewife, before the start of the oven can be retrieved.

Of the The operator of the oven must, depending on the food to be cooked, the required Operating mode, temperature, duration and possibly when working with the meat thermometer specify the meat core temperature before starting the oven; possibly must be dependent The method of cooking also dictates the cooking method to achieve an optimal cooking, cooking or baking result.

Around even very inexperienced or ignorant users of the furnace possibility to give a useful cooking, cooking or baking result is it is known for various food to be prepared in the controller or in their Storage element to store standard cooking, cooking or baking parameters, so that then if necessary without further specification of the furnace operation can be started. The disadvantage here, however, is that no optimum cooking, cooking or baking result can be achieved.

Of the Invention is therefore based on the object, a method for cooking, Cooking or baking a food in an oven, especially in one Household stove to suggest that it is also the least savvy user possible makes, in a simple way, individual cooking, cooking or baking programs to create and drive.

• d) Aktivierung einer Sonderfunktion durch den Bediener mittels der Eingabemittel, die die Definition und/oder Verwendung alternativer Gar-, Koch- bzw. Backparameter zulässt;
• e) Eingabe und/oder Bestätigung alternativer Gar-, Koch- bzw. Backparameter durch den Bediener mittels der Eingabemittel;
• f) Start des Garens, Kochens oder Backens der zuzubereitenden Speise durch den Bediener mittels der Eingabemittel unter Zugrundelegung der alternativen Gar-, Koch- bzw. Backparameter.

The solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that, in addition to the steps mentioned before the start of the cooking, cooking or baking process, the following steps are performed:

• d) activation of a special function by the operator by means of the input means allowing the definition and / or use of alternative cooking, cooking or baking parameters;
• e) input and / or confirmation of alternative cooking, cooking or baking parameters by the operator by means of the input means;
• f) Start the cooking, cooking or baking of the food to be prepared by the operator by means of the input means on the basis of the alternative cooking, cooking or baking parameters.

According to the invention is thus provided that, if necessary, individually in specified cooking, cooking or Baking parameter stored in the controller or the memory element are intervene to intervene for individual meals to achieve improved cooking, cooking or baking results. This procedure is dialog-guided and therefore to accomplish in a simple manner, so that little experienced Operators of the furnace are capable of the method according to the invention to use.

A first embodiment of the invention provides that the display and Selection of a food to be prepared after the above step b) and c) takes place in at least two hierarchical levels. Below is too understand that cascade first the generic term of a food to be prepared is selected (for example, "baked goods") to confirm this Generic term to select specific stored food to be prepared (e.g. B. "cheese cake", "cake bottom", etc.). The selection food to be prepared is thus from coarse to fine.

To the above step c) and before step d) can display the in the Storage facilities stored cooking, cooking or baking parameters the display.

The to be entered or deposited in the storage means Gar, Cooking or baking parameters can the operating mode of the oven, the temperature in the oven, the operating time of the oven, the core temperature of the food to be prepared and the Include weight of the food to be cooked. After that, everyone will deposited or entered relevant cooking, cooking or baking parameters, to achieve an optimal cooking, cooking or baking result required are.

The after the above step e) entered and / or confirmed alternative Cooking, cooking or baking parameters can as base parameter for the food to be prepared for a later one Selection according to the above step c) stored in the memory means become. This will make it possible to the individual parameters entered later on Preparing the appropriate food.

The said steps a) to f) are preferably in this order performed chronologically.

Of the Invention proposal creates the possibility, on the one hand on in the control or its storage element deposited cooking, cooking or to access baking parameters without being dependent on them exclusively under their basis on the cooking, cooking or baking process to perform have to.

Much more will it be possible interactively access and preprogrammed parameters individual needs to change.

Of the oven according to the invention is therefore characterized by a higher functionality out.

In the drawing is an embodiment of Invention shown. Show it:

1 a flow chart for the sequence of the steps to be taken before starting the cooking, cooking or baking process in a household oven,

2 the view of a control panel of the household oven and

3 the display of the control panel with the display of cooking, cooking or baking parameters.

In 1 a flow chart is shown, which has two branches I and II.

One branch beginning above and ending at the bottom left I shows the previously known, classic approach to using a modern domestic oven, in which preprogrammed data are stored, which are used to carry out a Cooking process can be used.

Of the Branch II beginning at the top and ending at the bottom right of the flow chart represents an alternative mode of operation, as the invention provides.

Both branches I, II can Naturally in a single oven, especially in a household oven used. become.

Regarding of the classical procedure (according to branch I from top to bottom left) is provided that the start A of the cooking operation starts in the household stove with the activation of dialog mode at B, whereupon interactively at C the food to be prepared is selected.

This is preferably cascaded, d. H. After selecting the generic term of food type, reference is made to specific stored food accessed. Among the deposited, stored Food is therefore also the food to be prepared or at least one of those similar Food.

For the selected food become standard parameters in the control or in their storage means are deposited, given, s. Step D. With these parameters then at E then cooking the food to be prepared.

The procedure according to the invention results from the right branch II of the flowchart:
The start of the cooking process at A takes place equally with the activation of the dialogue mode according to B, followed by the interactive selection of the food to be prepared at C followed. Then, however, is selected by appropriate operation of the input means of the control of the right, so the "alternative branch" II ("Kochassistent" in 2 ). Next, at F, the controller indicates by means of the display alternative parameters which are proposed for the preparation of the food and which are displayed at G.

Subsequently, at H the cooking parameters are entered, supplemented and / or modified. After all K starts cooking with the entered / added / modified parameters.

The concrete design of the interface with the controller results from the 2 and 3 ,

In 2 you can see that on both sides of the display 2 input means 1 are arranged. In the left area of the input means is the main switch 3 , a button 4 for calling up the control menu as well as buttons 5 and 6 to move the cursor up and down in the display 2 , In the right-hand area of the input means are buttons 7 and 8th for incrementing or decrementing a called parameter, a switch 9 to call the timer and a confirmation button 10 ,

In the display 2 according to 2 It can be seen that the "cooking assistant" is called up, ie the procedure described above should be carried out as alternative operating modes are already stored "personal programs" with stored parameters for special food to be prepared and already with the basic equipment deposited "conventional programs".

In 3 you can see how - after the corresponding call of the relevant cooking parameters - these are shown in the display 2 to be modified step by step, confirmed or entered. In the left box 11 the mode of operation of the stove is symbolically displayed (eg "circulating air", "top heat", Etc.); in the middle field 12 Data regarding the time of switching on (timer operation) or the duration of the cooking process can be displayed. In the right box 13 the cooking temperature is shown in the oven.

you can summarize the following again: In one Menu of Control electronics are various dishes or food categories to select.

Of the Operator dials the dish to be prepared. He receives - according to branch I - then the information, the for the preparation would be best suited (if necessary including the consideration a skewer of meat for too meat to be roasted or roasted, taking into account the weight of the meat food to be prepared and a recipe).

In the controller already has the required information (ia. the operating mode, the temperature, the duration). According to branch I the operator can now start the program. The cooking parameters are no longer or only conditionally changeable.

However, if the operator does not start directly, he selects the alternate branch II by corresponding actuation of the input means 1 , it is displayed to him which oven function, temperature, duration for this recipe or program would be best suited alternatively. With the call of the alternative branch II, these settings can be adopted as basic information for the normal or usual furnace operation. For further use they are in the standard operating mode of the oven functions.

in the Alternative Branch II so the basic data of the proposed proposed cooking parameters including cooking method and displayed. The choice of the alternative branch II leads to the mode menu, wherein for the different parameters (in particular for the operating mode and the temperature also for the duration) saved recommendations can be given.

The Cooking time is usually adjusted according to individual, but also for this the operator in a pop-up window recommendations or information to disposal can be made.
