Description
- The present invention relates to a method for operating an oven wherein the cooking control of foodstuffs forming a crust on the outer surface is performed.
- In ovens, the water in the food evaporates during the cooking process with the effect of the heat transferred to the food and the weight of the food decreases during cooking. For some types of food the water amount that can be held in the food is essential for cooking quality. Forming a crust on the outer surfaces of the food by various cooking functions is aimed, for example in pastries such as bread and cake or various meat dishes. The forming of crust on the outer surface prevents the escape of moisture inside the food and the desired cooking quality is maintained by preventing drying up of the inner portion. The relative humidity in the oven cavity wherein cooking process is performed is a significant parameter for foodstuff forming a crust during the cooking process. The amount of moisture expelled from the foodstuffs during the cooking process not only depends on some of the basic characteristics of the food (diffusion coefficient, permeability, porous structure etc.) but also on the ambient temperature and relative humidity of the environment containing the food. The food in a low relative humidity environment expels moisture from inside and the surface rapidly and while in a high relative humidity environment, this duration increases, sometimes the crust is not formed since the relative humidity cannot be reduced and the desired result of cooking quality cannot be achieved. In the state of the art, cooking algorithms are regulated by detecting the amount of humidity in the oven cavity by the humidity sensor however the data of the humidity sensor is insufficient due to different characteristics of the cooked food.
