Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Fertiggaren mindestens einer zumindest zwei unterschiedliche Gargüter umfassenden Speise in einem Garraum eines Gargeräts mit zumindest einer Heizeinrichtung und/oder einer Befeuchtungseinrichtung und einer Anzeigeeinrichtung und einer Steuer- oder Regeleinrichtung und einer SpeichereinrichtungThe present invention relates to a method for the final cooking of at least one food comprising at least two different food items in a cooking chamber of a cooking appliance with at least one heating device and / or a moistening device and a display device and a control or regulating device and a storage device

In der Veröffentlichung EP2031306 der Anmelderin ist ein Verfahren zum Garen eines Garguts mit einem Vorgar-Schritt und einem Fertiggar-Schritt beschrieben, bei dem im wesentlichen kontinuierlich ein Gargrad berechnet wird, um einen definierten Prozentwert einer Vorgarung für den Vorgar-Schritt und/oder eine Restzeit für das Erreichen eines gewünschten Endgarzustandes zum Ende des Fertiggar-Schrittes berechnen zu können. Dieses Verfahren ermöglicht es, bei einem sogenannten Finishing oder Regenerieren von Lebensmitteln gezielt einen Kompromiss zwischen möglichst kurzen Wiedererwärmzeiten und einem möglichst guten Garergebnis zu erzielen. Wird bspw. eine Zielzeit vorgegeben, zu der ein Bankett mit einer Vielzahl von Speisen, jeweils umfassend mehrere Gargüter, fertig gegart sein soll, können mit einem Verfahren gemäß der EP 07 016 734 die Gargüter jeweils gezielt vorgegart werden, nämlich auf einen bestimmten Prozentwert, um dann in einem Fertiggar-Schritt mit einer fest vorgegebenen Restzeit gemeinsam fertig gegart werden zu können. Offen bleibt aber dabei, wie beim Zubereiten solcher Speisen mit einer Vielzahl von Gargütern ein optimales Garraumklima eingestellt werden kann.In the publication EP2031306 The Applicant describes a method of cooking a cooked item having a pre-cooking step and a finished-cooking step wherein substantially continuously a cooking degree is calculated by a defined percentage of a pre-cooking for the pre-cooking step and / or a remaining time for achieving to calculate a desired final cooking state at the end of the Fertiggar-step. This method makes it possible to achieve a compromise between the shortest possible reheating times and the best possible cooking result in a so-called finishing or regeneration of foodstuffs. If, for example, a target time is specified to which a banquet with a large number of meals, in each case comprising a plurality of items to be cooked, should be ready cooked, with a method according to the EP 07 016 734 the food to be cooked in each case specifically vorgart, namely to a certain percentage, in order then in a Fertiggar step with a fixed predetermined time to be cooked together ready. However, it remains unclear how an optimum cooking chamber climate can be set when preparing such foods with a large number of items to be cooked.

Die Bestimmung eines idealen Klimas ist in hohem Masse von der Beschickung eines Garraums mit Gargut abhängig, wie im Rahmen der DE 10 2006 008 096 A1 für eine rollierende Beschickung eines Garraums selbst mit Gargütern unterschiedlicher Gargutart ausgeführt, ohne dass dabei jedoch auf die Problematik eines Finishingprozesses und somit dem Gargrad zum Starten eines Fertiggarens eingegangen wird.The determination of an ideal climate is highly dependent on the loading of a cooking chamber with food, as in the context of DE 10 2006 008 096 A1 executed for a rolling feed of a cooking chamber even with food of different Gargutart, but without the problem of a finishing process and thus the degree of cooking for starting a Fertiggarens is addressed.

Der Gargrad eines Garguts lässt sich auf viele Arten bestimmen, wie bspw. über den Kochwert oder die Kerntemperatur, siehe insbesondere die EP 2031306 , wobei hierzu ein Kerntemperaturfühler gemäß der DE 199 45 021 A1 der Anmelderin zum Einsatz kommen kann. Aber auch eine Bestimmung unter Einsatz von Gassensoren, wie in der WO 2006/069563 A1 der Anmelderin beschrieben, ist möglich.The degree of cooking of a food can be determined in many ways, such as. About the cooking value or the core temperature, see in particular the EP 2031306 , in which case a Core temperature sensor according to DE 199 45 021 A1 the applicant can be used. But also a determination using gas sensors, as in the WO 2006/069563 A1 the applicant described is possible.

Die Auswahl eines Wunsch-Gargrades über eine Visualisierung auswählbarer Gargrade ist bspw. in der nicht-vorveröffentlichten DE 10 2007 040 651 der Anmelderin beschrieben, während in der EP 1 716 795 A1 der Anmelderin beschrieben ist, wie eine Gargutart aus einer Vielzahl visualisierter Gargutarten auswählbar ist.The selection of a desired cooking degree via a visualization of selectable degrees of cooking is, for example, in the non-prepublished DE 10 2007 040 651 described in the applicant, while in the EP 1 716 795 A1 the applicant is described how a Gargutart is selectable from a variety of visualized Gargutarten.

Die Eingabe einer Gargutart, einer Gargutmenge und einer Größe eines Gargutes oder des Garegrades des Gargutes durch Betätigen einer Vielzahl von beschrifteten Tasten ist beispielsweise aus der US 4,568,810 bekannt.The input of a Gargutart, a Gargutmenge and a size of a food or the Garegrades of the food by pressing a variety of labeled keys is for example from the US 4,568,810 known.

Die DE 20 2006 009 284 U1 betrifft ein Gargerät, bei dem in unterschiedlichen Behandlungsebenen Gargut mit unterschiedlichen Soll-Gargutzustandsgrößen am Ende eines Garprozesses gegart werden kann.The DE 20 2006 009 284 U1 relates to a cooking appliance, in which at different treatment levels food with different desired Gargutzustandsgrößen can be cooked at the end of a cooking process.

Die DE 103 09 485 A1 offenbart ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines Garprozesses, bei dem Gargut auf einem Zubehör in einen Garraum eingebracht wird und das Garraumklima in Abhängigkeit von dem Wärmeeintrag in das Zubehör geregelt wird.The DE 103 09 485 A1 discloses a method for controlling a cooking process in which food is placed on an accessory in a cooking chamber and the cooking space climate is controlled in dependence on the heat input into the accessory.

Aus der JP 2005 234 782 A ist ein Bestellsystem für Lebensmittel und Getränke bekannt.From the JP 2005 234 782 A is an ordering system for food and drinks known.

In der DE 689 15 563 T2 ist ein Gargerät beschrieben, bei dem eine Vielzahl von Zutaten-Eingabetasten, gruppiert nach Hauptzutaten, Hilfszutaten und Beilagen, bereitgestellt sind, um nach Betätigen entsprechender Tasten den Endzustand der ausgewählten Speise in Form einer Bildinformation zusammen mit einer notwendigen Kochzeit oder einer entsprechenden Seite eines Kochbuches anzuzeigen.In the DE 689 15 563 T2 there is described a cooking apparatus in which a plurality of ingredient input keys grouped according to main ingredients, auxiliary ingredients and supplements are provided to display the final state of the selected food in the form of image information along with a necessary cooking time or a corresponding page of a cookbook, upon operation of respective keys display.

Die Anzeige einer Speisekarte mit naturgetreuen Abbildungen anzubietender Gerichte auf einem Farbbildschirm an einem Gästetisch beispielsweise in einem Restaurant ist aus der DE 33 42 483 A1 bekannt.The display of a menu with lifelike illustrations to be offered dishes on a color screen on a guest table, for example, in a restaurant is from the DE 33 42 483 A1 known.

Die EP-A-0329111 wird als nächstliegender Stand der Technik angesehen.The EP-A-0329111 is considered to be the closest prior art.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zum Fertiggaren einer Speise zu liefern, das auch in dem Fall, in dem sich die Speise aus zumindest zwei unterschiedlichen Gargütern zusammensetzt, diese selbst von einer ungeübten Person einfach ausgewählt und sodann ein Garen der ausgewählten Speise zumindest halbautomatisch durchgeführt werden kann.It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for finish cooking a food which, even in the case where the food is composed of at least two different food items, is easily selected even by an untrained person and then at least cooking the selected food semi-automatic can be performed.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Bevorzugte erfindungsgemäße Verfahren sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 9 beschrieben.Preferred methods according to the invention are described in claims 2 to 9.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass beim Fertiggaren, d.h. Finishing oder Regenerieren, einer sich aus zumindest zwei unterschiedlichen Gargütern zusammensetzenden Speise ein optimales Klima in Form eines Misch-Klimas berechnet werden kann, wenn die Art der Gargüter und der Gargrad derselben bekannt ist. Soll bspw. eine Speise zubereitet werden, die ein paniertes Kotelett als Hauptkomponente und Kartoffelwedges sowie Grillgemüse als Sättigungsbeilagen umfasst, so wird das ideale Misch-Klima ein heißes, trockenes Klima beim Fertiggaren sein. Werden nun anstelle der Kartoffelwedges Kartoffelbrei und anstelle des Grillgemüses gedämpftes Mischgemüse als Sättigungsbeilagen verwendet, so muss das Garraumklima feucht und nicht zu heiß sein. Werden alternativerweise ein paniertes Kotelett, Kartoffelgratin und Brokkoli gefinisht bzw. regeneriert, so weicht das Idealklima wiederum von den zuvor erörterten Beispielen ab.The invention is based on the finding that in finished cooking, i. Finishing or regeneration of a food composed of at least two different food items an optimal climate can be calculated in the form of a mixed climate, if the type of food and the degree of cooking of the same is known. If, for example, a dish is to be prepared that includes a breaded chop as main component and potato wedges as well as grilled vegetables as saturation side dishes, the ideal mixed climate will be a hot, dry climate during the final cooking. If instead of potato wedges mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables instead of grilled vegetables are used as saturating side dishes, the cooking space climate must be moist and not too hot. Alternatively, if a breaded chop, potato gratin and broccoli are finished or regenerated, then the ideal climate again differs from the previously discussed examples.

Ein Misch-Klima kann bspw. bestimmt werden aus einem Bereich einer Überlappung der für jedes Gargut einer fertigzugarenden Speise zuvor bestimmten Garraumklimabereiche. So ist es bspw. für Schnitzel bekannt, dass die Temperatur im Garraum zwischen 160 und 220 ° C und die relative Feuchte im Garraum zwischen 40 und 50 % betragen soll, während es für Pommes üblich ist, dass die Temperatur zwischen 200 und 250 ° C und die relative Feuchte im Garraum maximal 20 % beträgt. Somit sollte die Temperatur für eine Speise, die als ein erstes Gargut Schnitzel und ein zweites Gargut Pommes enthält, zwischen 200 und 220 ° C, also in einem Überlappungsbereich der beiden Temperaturbereiche der beiden Gargüter liegen, vorzugsweise 210 ° C betragen. Die Feuchtigkeitsbereiche der beiden Gargüter überlappen sich nicht, so dass nun eine relative Feuchte für besagte Speise aus Schnitzeln und Pommes zu wählen ist, die einen Kompromiss darstellt und bspw. 30 % beträgt. Das Misch-Klima wäre somit bestimmt durch eine Temperatur von 210 ° C und eine relative Feuchte von 30 %. Dieses Misch-Klima führt jedoch nicht zu einer 100 prozentigen Zielerreichung, da ein Kompromiss im Zusammenhang mit der relativen Feuchte gewählt worden ist, wobei der entsprechende Prozentsatz abschätzbar und auf einer Anzeigeeinrichtung anzeigbar ist.A mixed climate can be determined, for example, from an area of overlapping of the cooking space climate areas previously determined for each food to be cooked. For example, it is known for Schnitzel that the temperature in the oven between 160 and 220 ° C and the relative humidity in the oven should be between 40 and 50%, while it is common for French fries, the temperature between 200 and 250 ° C. and the relative humidity in the cooking space is a maximum of 20%. Thus, the temperature for a food containing Schnitzel as a first food and a second food Pommes should be between 200 and 220 ° C, ie in an overlap region of the two temperature ranges of the two items to be cooked, preferably 210 ° C. The moisture ranges of the two food items do not overlap, so that now a relative humidity for said food from chips and fries is to be chosen, which represents a compromise and, for example, is 30%. The mixed climate would thus be determined by a temperature of 210 ° C and a relative humidity of 30%. However, this mixed climate does not result in 100% target achievement as a relative humidity compromise has been chosen, the corresponding percentage being assessable and displayable on a display device.

Um einen Kompromiss möglichst gut in dem Falle wählen zu können, in dem keine Überlappung der für die verschiedenen Gargüter einer Speise hinterlegten Bereiche der Temperatur, Feucht und/oder Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Atmosphäre im Garraum vorliegt, können die Gargüter, insbesondere die einer Hauptkomponente zugeordneten Gargüter, mit einem Faktor gewichtet werden. So ist bspw. die Feuchtigkeit bei der Zubereitung von Schnitzeln von größerer Bedeutung als bei der Zubereitung von Pommes, so dass eine Gewichtung im zuvor beschriebenen Beispiel auch dazu führen kann, dass die relative Feuchte mit 40 % eingestellt wird, also im optimalen Bereich für Schnitzel liegt, jedoch deutlich über dem Maximalwert für Pommes. In Abhängigkeit dieser Gewichtung kann dann auch der Prozentsatz zur Erreichung der Zielvorgaben, nämlich des gewünschten Garergebnisses für Schnitzel und Pommes, berechnet werden.In order to be able to select a compromise as well as possible in the case where there is no overlapping of the regions of the temperature, humidity and / or flow velocity of the atmosphere stored in the cooking chamber for the various food items, the items to be cooked, in particular the items associated with a main component, can weighted by a factor. Thus, for example, the humidity in the preparation of chips is of greater importance than in the preparation of fries, so that a weighting in the example described above can also cause the relative humidity is set at 40%, ie in the optimum range for chips is, but well above the maximum value for fries. Depending on this weighting, the percentage for achieving the targets, namely the desired cooking result for chips and chips, can then also be calculated.

Eine Verbesserung des Garraumklimas nach erstmaliger Bestimmung desselben in Abhängigkeit von den Gargutarten und Gargraden ist dann möglich, wenn auch die Menge an Gargut sowie die Größe der Gargutteile berücksichtigt wird. Zu diesem Zwecke kann zu Beginn eines Fertiggarens eine Last-Erkennung durch Auswertung des zeitlichen Verhaltens der Garraumtemperatur sowie eine Kaliber-Erkennung durch Auswertung der Kerntemperatur besagter Gargutteile über die Zeit berechnet und bei der Bestimmung des Garraumklimas berücksichtigt werden.An improvement of the cooking chamber climate after initial determination of the same depending on the Gargutarten and Gargraden is possible if the amount of food and the size of the Gargutteile is taken into account. For this purpose, a load detection by evaluating the temporal behavior of the oven temperature and a caliber detection by evaluating the core temperature of said parts to be cooked over time calculated and taken into account in the determination of Garraumklimas at the beginning of a Fertiggarens.

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description in which an embodiment of the invention with reference to schematic drawings will be explained in detail. It shows
FIG. 1:
a first selection menu level for a method according to the invention; and
FIG. 2:
a second selection menu level for a method according to the invention.

Wird von einer Bedienperson über die Bedieneinrichtung eines nicht gezeigten Gargeräts, die bspw. einen Touch-Screen umfasst, ein Fertiggaren, also Finishing oder Regenerieren, angewählt, so wird erfindungsgemäß die Bedienperson aufgefordert, die Gargutart jeder Komponente einer fertigzugarenden Speise auszuwählen. Zu diesem Zwecke wird auf einer Anzeigeeinrichtung des Gargeräts, insbesondere dem Touch-Screen, ein Teller 1 mit drei Bereichen für drei Komponenten dargestellt, siehe Figur 1. Jeder der drei Tellerbereiche 10, 20, 30 kann aktiviert werden, so dass sich eine nächste Auswahlmenüebene öffnet, wie in Figur 2 angedeutet. Dabei kann der erste Tellerbereich 10 für eine Hauptkomponente und/oder eine Zubereitungsart stehen, z.B. Großbraten, während die Tellerbereiche 20 und 30 jeweils für Sättigungsbeilagen gedacht sind, z.B. Reis und Grillgemüse.If an operator selects a finished cooking, ie finishing or regeneration, by means of the operating device of a cooking appliance, not shown, which includes, for example, a touch screen, then the operator is requested to select the type of cooking product of each component of a food to be cooked. For this purpose, a plate 1 with three areas for three components is shown on a display device of the cooking appliance, in particular the touch screen, see FIG. 1 , Each of the three plate areas 10, 20, 30 can be activated so that a next selection menu level opens, as in FIG. 2 indicated. In this case, the first plate portion 10 may be a main component and / or a preparation, for example, large roast while the plate portions 20 and 30 are each intended for saturation supplements, such as rice and grilled vegetables.

Bei dem Beispiel gemäß Figur 2 ist der zweite Tellerbereich 20 aktiviert worden, über den die Bedienperson einfach eine erste Sättigungsbeilage auswählen kann, und zwar aus einer Gruppe, umfassend Reis, Nudeln, Kartoffeln gedämpft, Kartoffelbrei, Kartoffelspalten frittiert und dergleichen, wobei zu diesem Zwecke die entsprechenden Begriffe in einem Auswahlbereich 40 aufscheinen und in diesem aktiviert werden können.In the example according to FIG. 2 the second plate area 20 has been activated, over which the operator can easily select a first saturation supplement from a group comprising rice, noodles, steamed potatoes, mashed potato, potato wedges and the like, for which purpose the corresponding terms in a selection area 40 appear and can be activated in this.

Der Touch-Screen stellt sowohl eine Eingabeeinrichtung als auch eine Ausgabeeinrichtung dar und ermöglicht es der Bedienperson, eine Auswahl einzig durch Berührung eines bestimmten Bereichs zu tätigen. Sobald also eine Speise von der Bedienperson über den Touch-Screen ausgewählt worden ist, bspw. Großbraten als Hauptkomponente, ausgewählt über den Tellerbereich 10, Reis als erste Sättigungsbeilage, ausgewählt über den Tellerbereich 20, und Grillgemüse als zweite Sättigungsbeilage, ausgewählt über den Tellerbereich 30, ist der jeweilige Gargrad der drei Komponenten entweder von der Bedienperson anzugeben, oder aber er wird von einer ersten Sensiereinrichtung des Gargeräts bestimmt. Die erste Sensiereinrichtung kann bspw. einen Kerntemperaturfühler umfassen, der in den Großbraten einzuführen ist und einen Aufbau gemäß der DE 199 45 021 A1 aufweist, und einen Gassensorarray gemäß der WO 2006/069563 A1 .The touch screen represents both an input device and an output device and allows the operator to make a selection solely by touching a specific area. Thus, as soon as a food has been selected by the operator via the touch screen, for example, large roast as the main component, selected via the plate area 10, rice as the first saturation supplement selected via the plate area 20, and grilled vegetables as the second saturation supplement, selected via the plate area 30 , the respective degree of cooking of the three components is either specified by the operator, or it is determined by a first sensing device of the cooking appliance. The first sensing device may comprise, for example, a core temperature probe to be inserted into the large-size roast and a structure according to the DE 199 45 021 A1 and a gas sensor array according to the WO 2006/069563 A1 ,

Sobald also die Art der Gargüter der Speise sowie auch der Gargrad derselben bekannt sind, kann ein für die Speise optimales Garraumklima bestimmt und im Garraum des Gargeräts eingestellt werden. Dabei kommt eine Regeleinrichtung des Gargeräts zum Einsatz, die auf in einer Speichereinrichtung hinterlegte Formeln und Tabellenwerte zurückgreifen kann.So as soon as the nature of the food of the food as well as the degree of cooking of the same are known, an optimum for the food cooking chamber and determined in the cooking of the cooking appliance be set. In this case, a control device of the cooking appliance is used, which can fall back on stored in a memory device formulas and table values.

Das berechnete Garraumklima kann während des Fertiggarens weiter optimiert werden, indem bspw. die Menge an Speisen im Garraum, also die Last, und das Kaliber der Großbraten berücksichtigt werden. Die Last kann nach Beladung des Garraums mit den Speisen ermittelt werden über den Verlauf der Garraumtemperatur über die Zeit, während das Kaliber der Großbraten sich aus dem Verlauf der Kerntemperatur derselben über die Zeit bestimmen lässt.The calculated cooking space climate can be further optimized during the finished cooking, for example by taking into account the quantity of food in the cooking space, ie the load, and the caliber of the large roast. The load can be determined after loading the cooking chamber with the food over the course of the oven temperature over time, while the caliber of the large roast can be determined from the course of the core temperature of the same over time.

Für das Erhalten erwünschter Garergebnisse ist es des weiteren erforderlich, dass die Teller, auf denen die Speisen nach einem Vorgaren, das vorzugsweise getrennt nach Gargutart stattgefunden hat, angerichtet werden, die gleiche Temperatur wie die Speisen zum Beginn des Fertiggarens aufweisen, um bspw. eine unerwünschte Pfützenbildung auf dem Teller zu vermeiden, die dann auftritt, wenn der Teller kälter als die Gargüter sind und somit auf den Tellern aus Gargut austretende Feuchtigkeit auskondensieren kann, siehe hierzu insbesondere die DE 103 09 486 A1 und die DE 103 09 485 A1 der Anmelderin.For obtaining desired cooking results, it is further required that the plates on which the food after a pre-cooking, which preferably has taken place separately Gargutart are served, the same temperature as the food to start the finished cooking, for example To avoid unwanted puddles on the plate, which then occurs when the plate is colder than the food and thus can condense on the plates of food leaking moisture, see in particular the DE 103 09 486 A1 and the DE 103 09 485 A1 the applicant.
