For example, the control unit could control and / or regulate at least one cooking appliance function and / or at least one main cooking appliance function, in particular heating the cooking utensil, in at least one operating state.

A “recipe” is to be understood in particular as a chronological sequence of heating settings and / or other operating settings and / or calls for action and / or of recipe steps for preparing at least one item to be cooked and / or at least one food item. For example, the heating settings could in particular include at least one heating duration and / or at least one heating output and / or at least one heating temperature and / or at least one type of heating, such as roasting and / or cooking and / or deep-frying and / or sautéing and / or poaching and / or baking and / or grilling.

At least one recipe could, for example, have at least one temperature-critical recipe step, in which in particular a deviation of a value of a current temperature from a target temperature by at least 1%, in particular by at least 2%, advantageously by at least 3%, particularly advantageously by at least 5 %, preferably by at least 7% and preferably by at least 10%, leads to failure of a result to be achieved in the prescription step. At least one recipe, in particular at least two, advantageously at least three, particularly advantageously at least four, preferably at least five, preferably at least seven and particularly preferably at least ten recipes, has at least two recipe steps.

A “recipe step” is to be understood in particular as a partial section of a recipe that has a particularly defined time period and a particularly defined method step, such as a heating step and / or a step with an interaction via at least one operator interface and / or a step with a Interaction via an operator interface, the period of time being in particular predefined and / or variable, in particular depending on a period of time required for operator input by means of the operator interface. An “operator input” is to be understood in particular to mean an optical and / or acoustic input by means of the operator interface, in particular by an operator.

In particular, the cooking system has at least one operator interface, which is provided for input and / or selection and / or output of operating parameters, such as for example a heating power and / or a heating power density and / or a time period and / or a heating zone and / or a recipe . The operator interface is provided in particular for communication between the control unit and at least one operator. In particular, the operator interface is provided for an optical and / or acoustic and / or haptic output of at least one operating parameter and / or advantageously the information relating to the recipe step. The control unit could, for example, carry out at least one assessment and / or at least one assessment of the prescription step in the course of the analysis. In particular, alternatively or additionally, the control unit could in particular carry out at least one arithmetic operation in the course of the analysis. The control unit could receive, in particular alternatively or additionally, for example in the course of the analysis at least one sensor parameter, which in particular could include at least one action parameter, and in particular evaluate this sensor parameter and / or at least one item of information relating to the prescription, in particular, from this sensor parameter on the recipe step.

In at least one operating state, the control unit could output at least two, advantageously at least three, particularly advantageously at least four, preferably at least five and particularly preferably a large amount of information, in particular by means of the operator interface. At least one piece of information could be, for example, current information that identifies a current state of at least one food to be prepared and / or at least a current preparation state. As an alternative or in addition, at least one piece of information could, for example, be information to be expected in the future, which characterizes a state of at least one food to be prepared in the future and / or at least a preparation state to be expected in the future. At least one piece of information could, for example, be an indication to an operator in relation to a deviation from an optimal course of the recipe and / or a preparation state to be expected taking into account the deviation.

The operator interface has in particular at least one output unit for outputting the information relating to the recipe step. The phrase that the control unit “outputs” at least one item of information relating to the recipe step in at least one operating state is to be understood in particular to mean that the control unit in the operating state is the information relating to the recipe step, in particular to an operator, by means of the Provides and / or communicates output unit to the operator interface.

An “output unit” is to be understood in particular as a unit which, in at least one operating state, in particular visually and / or acoustically, table and / or haptic at least provides the information and, for example, at least one additional parameter. At least one piece of information and / or at least one parameter could be, for example, a time indication and / or a prompt to operate and / or a request for action and / or a selection and / or a status linked to at least one food to be prepared. In at least one operating state, the output unit could in particular output at least one acoustic signal and / or in particular at least one acoustic sequence, such as, for example, a ring tone and / or a warning signal and / or a request in the form of an in particular prefabricated sentence. Alternatively or additionally, the output unit could provide optical output in at least one operating state, such as, for example, a display of at least one image and / or at least one text and / or at least one number and / or at least one animation. For example, the output unit could have at least one sound means, which in particular could be a loudspeaker.

In the operating state, the control unit could output at least one piece of information, for example absolutely and / or relative to at least one average value and / or relative to at least one end result to be achieved.

“Provided” is to be understood to mean, in particular, specially programmed, designed and / or equipped. The fact that an object is provided for a specific function should in particular be understood to mean that the object fulfills and / or executes this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

It is also proposed that the control unit simulate the recipe step of the recipe in the operating state and output at least information relating to the recipe, in particular the recipe step. For example, the analysis could include at least one arithmetic operation. The analysis includes in particular at least one and advantageously at least the simulation. Under the phrase that the control unit "simulates" the recipe step of the recipe in the operating state, in particular which are understood that the control unit determines at least one simulation of the recipe step of the recipe and / or at least one virtual model of the recipe step of the recipe in the operating state, in particular by means of the computing unit. In at least one operating state, the control unit determines in particular at least one, in particular a virtual model of the recipe step of the recipe and in particular on the basis of the model at least one item of information relating to the recipe, in particular the recipe step. In this way, a particularly high level of user convenience can be achieved. In particular, important information relating to a food to be prepared can be determined by simulating the recipe step, as a result of which in particular an optimal preparation result can be achieved. In particular, an operator can be guided through the recipe in a particularly convenient manner, in particular because it can advantageously react to spontaneous events and / or unforeseen deviations. The recipe can in particular be carried out and / or issued, in particular presented, in a novel manner. In particular, a new type of artificial intelligence, in particular in connection with a cooking system and advantageously with a hob, and / or a personal kitchen assistant can be created.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the control unit in the operating state ascertains by means of the simulation at least one preparation state to be expected in particular in the future of at least one food to be prepared in the recipe step and in particular outputs the determined preparation state in the operating state. At least one piece of information could, for example, be the preparation state to be expected in particular in the future of at least one food item to be prepared in the prescription step. In particular, the control unit in the operating state could determine at least one current preparation state of at least one food item to be prepared in the recipe step. The control unit could, for example, in particular in addition to the current preparation state, determine at least one preparation state to be expected in the future of at least one food to be prepared in the recipe step. In the operating state, the control unit, in particular by means of the output unit of the operator interface, in particular outputs the determined preparation state. In the operating state, the control unit advantageously uses the simulation to determine at least one preparation state of at least one food item to be prepared in the recipe step, and in particular in each time interval of the Recipe, especially in every second of the recipe, and advantageously in every volume part of the food to be prepared. In this way, a particularly high level of operator convenience can be achieved, since an operator can be informed in particular about a preparation state, in particular about a current and / or about a preparation state to be expected in the future. In particular, this enables a high degree of information and / or transparency and optimum preparation pleasure.

In addition, it is proposed that the cooking system have at least one detection unit, which is provided for detecting at least one recipe step parameter of the recipe. The recording unit could record the recipe step parameter of the recipe, for example, by receiving the recipe step parameter by at least one operator input using the operator interface. Alternatively or additionally, the detection unit could have at least one sensor unit, which could be provided for detection and advantageously for detection of the prescription step parameter. “Detection” should in particular be understood to mean detecting and / or receiving and / or reading out. A “sensor unit” is to be understood in particular to mean a unit which has at least one detector for detecting at least one sensor parameter and which is in particular intended to output a value which characterizes the sensor parameter, the sensor parameter advantageously being a physical and / or chemical quantity. For example, the sensor unit could actively detect the sensor parameter in at least one operating state, such as in particular by generating and sending out a measurement signal, in particular an electrical and / or optical measurement signal. Alternatively or additionally, the sensor unit could passively detect the sensor parameter in at least one operating state, such as in particular by detecting at least one change in property of at least one sensor component and / or the detector. The sensor unit could advantageously have at least two, in particular at least three, advantageously at least four, particularly advantageously at least five and preferably a plurality of detectors, each of which could be provided for detecting at least one sensor parameter. The sensor parameter could, for example, identify the recipe step parameter and / or be designed as the recipe parameter. In the operating state, the control unit preferably takes into account the recipe step parameter when simulating the recipe step. At least one detector could, for example, least a temperature sensor, such as a resistance thermometer and / or a thermistor and / or a PTC thermistor and / or an infrared temperature sensor. For example, at least one detector could be at least one moisture sensor. At least one detector could be at least one weight sensor, for example. For example, at least one detector could be at least one viscometer. At least one detector could be at least one camera, for example. In this way, in particular current events and / or circumstances can be taken into account, whereby in particular a high degree of flexibility and / or a realistic implementation of the recipe and / or optimal preparation results can be achieved.

It is further proposed that at least one recipe step parameter is an ingredient parameter of at least one ingredient of the recipe. An “ingredient parameter” is to be understood in particular as a parameter which identifies an ingredient of the recipe. At least one ingredient parameter could, for example, be a weight of an ingredient and / or a type of an ingredient and / or an aggregate state of an ingredient and / or a form of an ingredient and / or a degree of maturity of an ingredient and / or a material of an ingredient and / or a consistency of an Be an ingredient. In particular, the control unit takes into account in the operating state at least one recipe step parameter, which is an ingredient parameter of at least one ingredient of the recipe. In this way, the recipe step can be optimally simulated, in particular due to a precise consideration of the ingredients actually used in the recipe.

For example, in the operating state, the control unit could only take into account the recipe step parameter, which is an ingredient parameter of at least one ingredient of the recipe. In the operating state, the control unit preferably takes into account at least one recipe step parameter, which is a processing parameter that characterizes at least one processing of at least one food item to be prepared in the recipe step. At least one recipe step parameter is preferably a processing parameter which characterizes at least one processing of at least one food item to be prepared in the recipe step. At least one processing parameter could, for example, indicate a duration and / or type and / or quality of processing at least one food item to be prepared in the recipe step, in particular by means of the operator. Alternatively or additionally, at least one processing parameter could, for example, at least one result of a processing. label at least one food to be prepared in the recipe step, such as a consistency of a mixture of foods to be prepared.

In particular, this enables a particularly precise simulation to be provided, as a result of which in particular a high level of operating convenience and / or an optimal preparation result can be achieved.

The control unit could, for example, in the operating state, in particular by means of the recording unit, record and / or determine at least one actual preparation state. In the operating state, the control unit preferably calculates and / or determines at least one actual preparation state as a function of the recipe step parameter, which in particular characterizes a current and / or present and / or real preparation state of at least one food to be prepared. As a result, particularly high ease of use can be achieved.

For example, the control unit in the operating state could determine the actual preparation state as a function of an operator input, in particular an operator prompt, using the operator interface. In the operating state, the control unit preferably calculates and / or determines the actual preparation state at regular time intervals and, in particular, outputs the determined preparation state in the operating state at regular time intervals. “Regular” time intervals should in particular be understood to mean time intervals of a maximum of 240 s, in particular a maximum of 120 s, advantageously a maximum of 60 s, particularly advantageously a maximum of 10 s, preferably a maximum of 5 s and particularly preferably a maximum of 1 s. For example, in the operating state, the control unit could compare the determined preparation state with at least one predetermined and / or optimal preparation state and, in particular in the event of a deviation of the determined preparation state from the specified and / or optimal preparation state, initiate at least one action. The control unit could in particular have at least one memory unit in which the predefined and / or optimal preparation state could in particular be stored and / or stored. The action could, for example, be an operator prompt and / or a prompt for action and / or a change in at least one recipe parameter of the recipe. In particular, this enables a continuous review of a course of the prescription step and / or a high degree of information to be provided.

It is further proposed that the control unit, in the operating state, adapt the preparation state to be expected at regular time intervals depending on the actual preparation state. In particular, the control unit in the operating state determines the preparation state to be expected at regular time intervals as a function of the recipe step parameter detected by the recording unit, in particular the ingredient parameter and / or the processing parameter, and in particular gives the particular special newly determined preparation state to be expected, in particular by means of the operator interface and advantageously by means of at least one output unit of the operator interface. For example, the control unit could adapt at least one parameter of the recipe and / or the recipe step in the operating state, in particular depending on the actual preparation state. This enables a high degree of flexibility to be achieved. In particular, as the duration of the recipe step increases, an increasingly precise preparation state that is to be expected can be determined, as a result of which, in particular, greater ease of use can be made possible.

In addition, it is proposed that the cooking system have at least one output unit, via which the control unit in the operating state outputs at least information relating to the actual and / or expected preparation state. In particular, the output unit is part of the operator interface. The output unit could in particular have at least one liquid crystal display. For example, the output unit could be at least partially integrated in the cooking device and / or in a mobile device and / or in a television set and / or in a tablet. In the operating state, the control unit could output at least one piece of information, for example by means of at least one progress diagram and / or by means of at least one animation. Alternatively or additionally, the control unit in the operating state could output at least one piece of information by means of at least one three-dimensional model, as a result of which the information can in particular be output and / or displayed in a novel manner. In the operating state, the control unit could, for example, alternatively or additionally at least provide information in the form of Output at least one image and / or at least one virtual reality and / or at least one moving image and / or at least one film and / or by means of a projection, in particular at least one piece of information into a food to be prepared. In the operating state, the control unit could, for example, output at least a comparison of the actual preparation state and the anticipated preparation state and / or the actual preparation state in relation to the preparation state to be expected and / or the preparation state to be expected in relation to the actual preparation state. At least one piece of information relating to the particular actual and / or expected preparation state could be, for example, at least one temperature and advantageously at least one temperature profile of at least one food to be prepared. In particular, at least one piece of information relating to the particular actual and / or expected preparation state could be at least one color and advantageously at least one color gradient of at least one food to be prepared. At least one piece of information relating to the particular actual and / or expected preparation state could, for example, be at least one moisture and advantageously at least one moisture profile of at least one food to be prepared and / or a moisture distribution and advantageously at least one profile of a moisture distribution in be at least one food to be prepared. In particular, at least one piece of information relating to the particular actual and / or expected preparation state could be at least one viscosity and / or at least one toughness, advantageously at least one viscosity curve and / or at least one toughness curve, of at least one food to be prepared. At least one piece of information relating to the particular actual and / or expected preparation state could, for example, be at least one cooking state and advantageously at least one cooking state course within at least one food to be prepared. At least one piece of information relating to the particular actual and / or expected preparation state could, for example, be at least one pressure and advantageously at least one pressure course within at least one food receiving space of at least one cookware. As a result, in particular a high degree of information can be provided and / or a high level of operating convenience can be achieved.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the cooking system have at least one detection unit, which is provided for the detection of at least one action parameter, in Dependency of which the control unit determines the addition of at least one food in the operating state, in particular in at least one food receiving space of at least one cookware. The cooking system has in particular at least one and advantageously at least the cookware, which in particular has and / or defines and / or defines at least one and advantageously at least the food receiving space. The detection unit has in particular at least one sensor unit for detecting the action parameter. In the operating state, the detection unit actively detects, in particular, the action parameter, in particular by generating and sending out a measurement signal, in particular an electrical and / or optical measurement signal. In particular, alternatively or additionally, the sensor unit could passively detect the action parameter in the operating state, such as in particular by detecting at least one change in properties of at least one sensor component and / or at least one detector of the detection unit. An “action parameter” is to be understood in particular as a parameter which comprises at least one action, in particular of an operator, and / or which characterizes and / or defines at least one action, in particular of an operator. In the operating state, the control unit determines the addition of the food, in particular as a function of the action parameter. For example, the control unit, in particular in the case of the addition of the food, could automatically end the recipe step and / or initiate at least one further recipe step and / or output at least one output with regard to the addition of the food. The output with regard to the addition of the food could, for example, include a proposal to end the prescription step and / or to initiate at least one further prescription step. As a result, the addition of a food item can be determined in a reliable manner in particular, which in particular makes it easy to operate. In particular, an operator can be enabled to concentrate exclusively on adding the food, since the operator can be relieved in particular of entering an acknowledgment and / or actuating a “next” field. In particular, incorrect entries and / or resulting deviations from an optimal preparation result can thereby be avoided. Since it was found, in particular in a survey, that operators view actuation of the “next” field as a nuisance, a high level of operating comfort and / or a high level of satisfaction can advantageously be achieved for an operator by avoiding actuation of the “next” field will. It is also proposed that the cooking system have at least one cookware in which the detection unit is at least partially integrated. The phrase that a first object is “at least partially” integrated in a second object should in particular be understood to mean that the first object has at least one object element which is integrated in the second object, and in particular in addition to the object element at least one further one Could have object element, which could be arranged outside the second object and which could in particular be integrated in at least one third object different from the second object. As a result, in particular a high detection accuracy of the action parameter can be made possible, whereby in particular a high level of operating comfort can be provided.

In addition, it is proposed that the cooking system have at least one household appliance, which is designed differently from a hob and in which the detection unit is at least partially integrated. The household appliance could, for example, be a refrigerator and / or a cleaning device. For example, the household appliance could be another cooking appliance, which differs in particular from the cooking appliance. For example, the household appliance could be an oven and / or a microwave and / or a steam cooker. The household appliance is advantageously an extractor hood and / or an extractor hood. The household appliance could, for example, be a small household appliance and / or a food processing appliance, such as a food processor and / or a stirring device and / or a kneading device. In this way, in particular a small number of components and / or a low level of storage can be achieved.

The control unit could, for example, be at least partially designed as a mobile device control unit and in particular at least partially, advantageously at least to a large extent and particularly advantageously completely integrated in at least one mobile device. The control unit is preferably at least partially designed as a cooking device control unit and in particular at least partially, advantageously at least to a large extent and particularly advantageously completely integrated in at least one cooking device. In particular, the cooking device control unit is at least partially, in particular re at least to a large extent and advantageously completely integrated in at least one control unit of a cooking device. The phrase that an object is “at least partially” designed as a cooking appliance object is to be understood in particular to mean that at least one partial object of the object is designed as a cooking appliance subobject and is, in particular, integrated in the cooking appliance object. For example, at least one further sub-object of the object could be designed as a device object different from a cooking device object, such as, for example, as a mobile device object. The expression that an object “is designed as a cooking appliance object” should in particular be understood to mean that the object is in particular at least to a large extent and advantageously completely integrated in at least one cooking appliance. In this way, in particular a small variety of components and / or a low level of storage can be enabled.

A particularly high level of operating comfort can be achieved in particular by a cooking device, in particular by a hob and advantageously by an induction hob, with at least one control unit of a cooking system according to the invention.

Ease of use can in particular be further increased by a method for operating a cooking system according to the invention, in particular a cooking system and advantageously an induction cooking system, in which at least one recipe step simulates at least one recipe and at least one item of information relating to the recipe step is output.

The cooking system should not be limited to the application and embodiment described above. In particular, the cooking system can have a number which differs from a number of individual elements, components and units mentioned here in order to fulfill a function described here.
