Definitions

• This invention relates to a cooking appliance and its control method which provides the user with a cooking activity according to his/her habits, cooking the meals as previously done before in house appliances and particularly cooking appliances.
• the user can cook by adjusting the combination of oven, heater and fans together with the temperature and cooking period in cooking appliances particularly in ovens.
• the same parameters are similarly adjusted when the same meals are cooked again.
• United States Patent US4725948 defines a microwave oven, which can cook by controlling the power level at a definite time interval by means of an electronic circuit indicator.
• German Patent DE4223653 discloses an oven, which is controlled by the profile of energy level and time interval determined according to optimum cooking quality, optimum energy consumption and prospects of foods.
• United States Patent US6425156 describes a household appliance having a method which provides functional applications by varying one or more parameter through the programs saved in its memory.
• United States Patent US6355914 defines an oven, which can be programmed by selecting the parameters like time and power from the menu together or separately.
• the object of this invention is to provide a cooking appliance and its control method, which allows the reuse or reformation of the adjustments the user selects during the cooking activity with same or different profiles when the same meal is desired to be cooked.
• Figure 1 is a three-dimensional general view of a cooking appliance.
• Figure 2 is a schematic view of a control card.
• Figure 3 is a perspective view of a control panel.
• Figure 4 is a schematic view of a cooking appliance.
• Figure 5 is a flow chart of a cooking method.
• the control card (2) comprises at least one processor (11), which provides the control, a memory (10) in which the parameters and algorithms predetermined by the manufacturer and/or the parameters and algorithms determined during the cooking are saved and one or more timers (8), which control the time.
• the warning of the control card (2) for whether the door is open or closed provides the kid security control.
• the control panel (3) comprises one or more indicators (4) for the observation and/or determination of the preferences of the user and one or more buttons (5) for the selection of parameters like the operation close and control of the appliance (1).
• the meals prepared according to the regional or well-known special recipes predetermined by the manufacturer are cooked to obtain algorithms and to save in the memory (10).
• the algorithms saved in the memory (10) comprises the functions of the cooking appliance when or how the heater (6) and/or the fan (7) on the cooking appliance (1) will operate, keep operating and stop operating with respect to the maximum operation and security conditions.
• the user may select the special menu like keeping the heat at a definite temperature, self cleaning, and heating up to a predetermined temperature, keeping the temperature at a constant degree for yeasting at a defined time interval, i.e. keeping the temperature at 42 °C for 4.5 hour for yeasting yoghurt of 1 hour/kg at 35 "C, preparing the foods in plates as canned food and keeping the temperature at 200 °C until the liquid in the foods is boiled.
• the special menu like keeping the heat at a definite temperature, self cleaning, and heating up to a predetermined temperature, keeping the temperature at a constant degree for yeasting at a defined time interval, i.e. keeping the temperature at 42 °C for 4.5 hour for yeasting yoghurt of 1 hour/kg at 35 "C, preparing the foods in plates as canned food and keeping the temperature at 200 °C until the liquid in the foods is boiled.
• the cooking appliance can cook by means of the profiles saved in the memory (10) by the manufacturer and/or the user by using the button (5) and /or the indicator (3) by the cooking appliance (1), which is the subject of this invention. If the user does not want to adjust the profile saved in the memory, the cooking appliance cooks according to the algorithm saved in the memory by means of the control card (2). If the user wants to adjust the saved algorithm, he/she saves the adjustments in the memory by means of the indicator (4) and the buttons (5), and cooks according to the recent algorithm defined by the control card (2). If the user saves a new meal, which is not saved in the memory (10) before, he/she may recall the algorithm of the new meal as previously recorded meals and cook it under the detem ⁇ ned environment and conditions again.
• the cooking appliance (1) which is the subject of this invention, provides these steps through a cooking method.
• the said cooking method comprises the following steps:
• the cooking appliance (1) which is the subject of the invention provides the cooking by following and controlling the parameters like temperature, moisture and time which are the controlled combination of the functional parts such as the heater (6), the funnel (14) and the fan (7) by means of the control card.
• the said parameters and their combinations are saved in the memory (10) under the names determined by the manufacturer and/or the user, and this provides the cooking without any further adjustment with the profile when the same meal is desired to be cooked again.
• the parameters determined by the user and the combination of the heater (6), the fan (7) and the funnel (14) are saved in the memory (10) temporarily and in the long term memory when the obtained cooking profile is required to be named, thus when the same meal can be cooked under the same profile without any further adjustments.
• the user wants to repeat a profile saved in the memory either by him/her or the manufacturer, he/she can determine his/her preference through the menu program and cook without any adjustments. If he/she wants to make any adjustments on the profile, the adjustment is saved in the memory (10) temporarily and can also be saved under the same or any other name in the memory (10).
