In particular, a flexible and / or user-friendly recipe structure can be provided. In particular, when guiding through the recipe, an operator can be provided with all the necessary information, which in particular could be tailored to the special needs of the operator. In particular, optimal cooking results and / or simple preparation of the recipe can be made possible.

A “food preparation system” is to be understood in particular to mean a system which has at least one functional unit, the main function of which is a preparation of at least one food and / or at least one product, and which in particular could additionally have at least one further functional unit, the main function of which is at least one preparation deviates from a food and / or at least a product. For example, the functional unit, whose main function is, in particular, a preparation of at least one food and / or at least one product, could be a household appliance, advantageously a cooking appliance and preferably a hob. In at least one operating state, the functional unit is heated and / or heated and / or cooks in particular at least one food and / or at least one product, in particular for the purpose of preparing the food and / or the product.

When guiding through the recipe, the control unit executes actions and / or actions that go beyond the mere reproduction of stored data and, in particular, actively calculates at least one further action and / or at least one further action. The control unit is in particular intended to react to at least one operating input in at least one operating state and / or to change at least one recipe and / or at least one recipe step of the recipe in dependence on at least one operating input. “Change” is to be understood in particular to mean editing and / or changing and / or changing and / or deleting and / or skipping and / or adding.

An “output unit” is to be understood in particular as a unit which is provided to provide an operator with at least one parameter, in particular optically and / or acoustically and / or haptically, such as, for example, information and / or a time specification and / or an operator prompt and / or one

Call for action and / or a selection. The output unit could in particular be provided for outputting at least one acoustic signal and / or in particular at least one acoustic sequence, such as a ringtone 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 be provided to provide an optical output, 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 loudspeaker. Alternatively or additionally, the

Output unit a display unit, in particular with at least one lamp, advantageously an LED, and / or a display, in particular backlit,

in particular a matrix display and / or an LCD display, an OLED display and / or electronic paper. The output unit advantageously has at least one liquid crystal display. By combining the output unit, which in particular has at least one liquid crystal display, and guiding through a recipe, the strengths of a product, in particular the household appliance, can be exploited, as a result of which particularly high brand loyalty of an operator can be achieved.

A “control unit” is to be understood in particular to mean an electronic unit which is preferably provided to control and / or regulate at least the output unit. The control unit could, for example, be at least partially integrated in a control and / or regulating unit of at least one household appliance, in particular a cooking appliance and advantageously a cooktop, and in particular be provided for at least one functional unit of the household appliance, which in particular is used to carry out a main household appliance function, in particular of the household appliance could be provided to control and / or regulate.

In particular, the control unit has a computing unit and in particular, in addition to the computing unit, a storage unit with a control and / or regulating program stored therein, which is intended to be executed by the computing unit. For example, in particular at least two, advantageously at least three, particularly advantageously at least five, preferably at least eight and particularly preferably several different recipes could be stored in the memory unit. The control unit is provided, in particular, for communication and / or interaction with the operator, in particular via the dispensing unit and / or via at least one operator interface, in particular the food preparation system and / or the household appliance, advantageously the hob. The control unit is in particular intended to control the dispensing unit in at least one operating state and in particular to guide it through the recipe via the dispensing unit.

The food preparation system has in particular at least one

Operator interface, which is provided in particular for at least one operator input, in particular by an operator. For example, the

Operator interface have at least one touch control element. Alternatively or additionally, the operator interface could have at least one acoustic input element, such as at least one microphone, which could be provided in particular for acoustic input. The operator interface could alternatively or additionally have, for example, at least one mechanical input element, such as at least one joystick and / or at least one keyboard and / or at least one mouse. In particular, the operator interface and the

Output unit can be configured at least partially in one piece with one another. The phrase that a first object and a second object are “at least partially in one piece” is to be understood in particular to mean that the first object has at least one element which is likewise part of the second object and / or that the second object has at least one element which is also part of the first object. In particular, the operator interface and the

Output unit in each case at least one, in particular at least two, advantageously at least three common elements, the component, in particular functionally important component, of both the operator interface and the

Are output unit.

A “recipe” is to be understood in particular as a chronological sequence of heating settings and / or other operating settings and / or requests for action and / or of recipe steps for preparing at least one food and / or at least one item to be cooked and / or the food. The heating settings could for example be at least one heating duration and / or at least one

Heating power and / or at least one heating temperature and / or at least one type of heating, such as roasting and / or cooking and / or steaming and / or simmering and / or melting and / or cooking under pressure, in particular in a pressure cooker, and / or deep-frying and / or sauteing and / or poaching and / or baking and / or grilling. The operating settings could, for example, have at least a time period which defines a total duration of the recipe and / or at least a chronological sequence of recipe steps and / or at least one type of output via the output unit, such as optically and / or acoustically. The recipe is in particular as a cooking recipe and / or as a cooking recipe and / or as a

Food preparation recipe trained. In particular, the recipe has at least two, in particular at least three, advantageously at least four, particularly advantageously at least five, preferably at least six and particularly preferably a plurality of recipe steps.

A “recipe step” is to be understood in particular as a partial section of a recipe which has a particularly defined period of time and one in particular has defined process step, such as a heating step and / or a step with an interaction via the output unit and / or a step with an interaction via the operator interface and / or a step with processing at least one food and / or a step with a preparation at least of a foodstuff, the period of time in particular being predefined and / or variable, such as in particular from one to an operator input by means of the

Operator interface depending on the time required, is designed. In particular, the step with an interaction via the output unit and / or the step with an interaction via the operator interface could be referred to as an interaction step. In particular, the step involving processing at least one food item could be referred to as the processing step. In particular, the step with a

Preparation of at least one food can be referred to as a food preparation step. The recipe step could, for example, be a heating step and / or a cooking step and / or a food preparation step and / or a

Food addition step and / or a food removal step. In particular, the recipe step differs in particular from querying one

Number of persons for whom the recipe should be designed, and

in particular by querying a number of servings which are to be prepared in particular with the recipe.

The phrase that the control unit is intended to “lead” through the output unit through at least one recipe step of the recipe is to be understood in particular to mean that the control unit requests at least one action in at least one operating state by means of at least one output via the output unit and / or outputs at least one piece of information, and / or that the control unit automatically carries out and / or initiates recipe steps necessary to carry out the recipe in at least one operating state. Under "automatic" should in particular automatically and / or avoid interaction with the

Operator interface and / or by avoiding an action by an operator.

The food is characterized in particular by the composition of ingredients, which in particular defines a total of all the ingredients intended for the preparation of the food and / or which is characterized in particular by all the ingredients intended for the preparation of the food, in particular in terms of the quantity of ingredients and / or in ingredient quality and / or in food type and / or in ingredient type. Omitting at least one ingredient and / or changing at least one ingredient results in particular in another dish that differs from the dish. In particular, the ingredient composition is an entirety of all ingredients which are provided in particular for a common cooking and / or processing and / or preparation and which in particular are all arranged in at least one operating state in at least one and advantageously the same cookware.

Under a chronological sequence of the recipe, in particular a number of recipe steps following the recipe step and / or one

Sequence of recipe steps following the recipe step and / or an ingredient to be added with at least one recipe step following in time, in particular in ingredient quantity and / or in ingredient quality and / or in food type and / or in ingredient type.

The phrase that the control unit “initiates” at least one action in at least one operating state is to be understood in particular to mean that the control unit starts at least one action in the operating state, which in particular creates at least one condition and / or basis for the execution of the action. For example, the control unit could perform the action itself and / or automatically in the operating state, in particular while avoiding at least one further unit. The control unit could, for example, transmit at least one instruction to at least one further unit and / or control at least one further unit, which in particular depending on the

Instructions and / or depending on the control could perform the action. The action could, for example, be the adjustment of the subsequent sequence of the recipe. For example, the action could at least be a storage of the, in particular adapted, recipe as a new recipe.

In particular, when adapting the chronological sequence of the recipe, the control unit checks whether, in particular, at least one chronologically subsequent recipe step is to be changed depending on the adaptation of the ingredient composition in the recipe step of the recipe, and in particular makes the change if a change is necessary. “Provided” is to be understood in particular to be 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 further proposed that the recipe is a predefined, in particular stored in at least one storage unit, standard recipe that the

Control unit changes in the operating state by adapting the chronological sequence of the recipe and in particular determines and / or derives at least one new recipe from the standard recipe. In particular, the recipe step relates to the standard recipe. The recipe step is especially part of the standard recipe.

At least two, advantageously at least three, particularly advantageously at least five, preferably at least eight and particularly preferably a plurality of different recipes, each of which characterize and / or are in particular a predefined standard recipe, are advantageously stored in the memory unit of the control unit. This enables a high degree of flexibility and / or a high level of operating convenience, in particular, since popular standard recipes in particular can be adapted to the special needs of the operator. For example, allergies and / or

Food intolerances and / or preferred foods are taken into account.

In addition, it is proposed that the control unit have at least one memory unit, in which at least one dependency of at least one second recipe step on the recipe step is stored. In particular, the recipe steps of a recipe are chronologically structured and / or stored in the memory unit of the control unit. The recipe steps are advantageously stored in the memory unit in the form of a recipe structure, in which in particular interdependent ones

Recipe steps are linked. In the storage unit, in particular recipe steps which are based on at least one recipe step preceding in time are linked to the recipe step preceding in time. In particular, the control unit could automatically skip and / or hide at least one further recipe step linked to the, in particular manually skipped, recipe step, as a function of skipping at least one recipe step as a function of an operator input, in particular by means of the operator interface. The control unit is particularly intended to prevent errors in the implementation of the Recipe, such as automatically forgetting, for example, forgetting to add at least one ingredient and / or accidentally skipping at least one recipe step. This enables an operator to adapt the recipe to his needs. In particular, the second recipe step depends on the recipe step. In the operating state, the control unit adapts the second recipe step in particular as a function of an adaptation of the ingredient composition in the recipe step of the recipe when adapting the chronological sequence of the recipe. In particular, the second recipe step relates to the standard recipe. The second recipe step is in particular part of the standard recipe. This allows the subsequent sequence of the recipe to be adjusted

in particular, can be carried out quickly and / or reliably and / or with little computation, which in particular makes it easy to use and / or enables an environmentally friendly and / or energy-saving configuration.

For example, the control unit could in the operating state depending on the adaptation of the ingredient composition in the recipe step of the recipe and / or the adaptation of the chronological sequence of the recipe the second

Adjust the recipe step, especially in terms of ingredient quantity and / or

Ingredient quality and / or in food type and / or in ingredient type and / or in cooking time and / or in processing time and / or in degree of information. In the operating state, the control unit preferably omits the second recipe step when guiding through the recipe, depending on the adaptation of the chronological sequence of the recipe. In particular, it avoids and / or prevents and / or blocks the

Control unit in the operating state depending on the adaptation of the chronological sequence of the recipe at least one and advantageously each action in

Relation to the second recipe step. The control unit performs in the

Operating state depending on the adaptation of the chronologically subsequent sequence of the recipe, in particular in the second recipe step, method steps provided. In particular, the control unit avoids in the operating state in

Depending on the adaptation of the chronological sequence of the recipe, execution of method steps provided in the second recipe step.

As a result, in particular, a high level of efficiency in the guidance through the recipe can be made possible and / or unnecessary guidance through obsolete recipe steps can be dispensed with, whereby in particular a high level of operating convenience can be achieved. It is also proposed that the control unit in the operating state, depending on the adaptation of the chronological sequence of the recipe, combine the second recipe step and at least one third recipe step, in particular to form at least one combined recipe step. In particular, the third recipe step relates to the standard recipe. The third recipe step is in particular part of the standard recipe. In the operating state, the control unit performs in the

summarized recipe step, in particular at least one process step of the second recipe step and at least one process step of the third recipe step. This allows an operator to be guided through the recipe particularly quickly and / or in a time-saving and / or efficient manner.

In addition, it is proposed that the control unit adapt at least one ingredient from the recipe when adapting the chronological sequence of the recipe

Ingredient composition is deleted and in particular a further dish different from the dish is prepared, in particular by means of the adapted recipe. In particular, the ingredient composition of the food and the ingredient composition of the further food differ at least in the deleted ingredient, which is present in particular in the ingredient composition of the food, in particular in contrast to the ingredient composition of the other food.

A high degree of flexibility can be achieved in this way. In particular, an operator can, for example in the event of an intolerance and / or an allergy and / or a deficiency in the ingredient, be able to prepare at least one further dish, which in particular is similar to the dish.

For example, in the operating state, the control unit could, in particular, automatically adapt the chronological sequence of the recipe, in particular while avoiding output to an operator. In the operating state, the control unit preferably provides at least one output to an operator, in particular by means of at least one operator interface, before the adaptation of the chronological sequence of the recipe is carried out. As a result, a high level of user comfort and / or a high degree of information can be provided.

The output to the operator could, for example, be at least one piece of information that the control unit in particular automatically and advantageously avoids output to an operator adapting the subsequent sequence of the Makes and / or will make recipes. The output to the operator is preferably an operator prompt to confirm the adaptation of the subsequent sequence of the recipe. The control unit preferably takes in

Depending on the confirmation, adjust the subsequent sequence of the recipe. As a result, a high level of operating comfort and / or a high degree of self-determination by the operator can be achieved.

In addition, it is proposed that the control unit in the operating state following the recipe, in which the control unit in particular adapts the chronological sequence of the recipe, at least initiates storage of the, in particular adapted, recipe as a new recipe. In particular, the control unit in the operating state follows the, in particular

adapted recipe, at least one memory output to an operator, in particular by means of at least one operator interface. As a result, an operator can access the adapted recipe again at a later point in time, which in particular saves the operator from having to readjust the recipe step and / or makes it easy to use.

For example, the control unit could be in the operating state by means of the

Memory output provide at least one piece of information, in particular to the operator, about storing the, in particular adapted, recipe and / or the new recipe, in particular in order to make it easier for an operator to find the, in particular adapted, recipe and / or the new recipe at a later time. In the operating state, the control unit advantageously provides at least one operator prompt, in particular to the operator, and preferably stores the recipe in the operating state as the new recipe, in particular in the memory unit, as a function of operator input, in particular by means of at least one operator interface. As a result, a high degree of self-determination by the operator can be achieved, which in particular makes it easy to operate.

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 food preparation system preferably has at least one cooking appliance, in particular at least one induction cooking appliance, advantageously at least one Hob and preferably at least one induction hob, which has the control unit. The control unit is advantageously at least partially designed as a hob control unit and in particular at least partially, advantageously at least to a large extent and particularly advantageously completely integrated in at least one and in particular in the hob. In particular, the hob control unit is at least partially, in particular at least to a large extent and advantageously completely integrated in at least one control unit of one and in particular the hob. The phrase that an object is “at least partially” designed as a hob object should in particular be understood to mean that at least one

Part object of the object is designed as a hob sub-object and in particular is integrated in the hob object. For example, at least one further sub-object of the object could be designed as a device object different from a hob object, such as, for example, as a mobile device object. The phrase that an object “is designed as a hob object” is to be understood in particular to mean that the object is in particular at least to a large extent and advantageously completely integrated in at least one hob. The cooking appliance could, for example, be at least one oven, such as a stove and / or an oven. As an alternative or in addition, the cooking device could be, for example, a microwave and / or a grill device and / or a steam cooker. The cooking device is advantageously a hob and preferably an induction hob. In this way, in particular a small variety of components and / or a low level of storage can be enabled.

The output unit could, for example, be at least partially designed as a mobile device output 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 food preparation system preferably has at least one cooking appliance, in particular at least one induction cooking appliance, advantageously at least one hob and preferably at least one induction hob, which has the output unit. The output unit is advantageously at least partially designed as a hob output unit and in particular at least partially, advantageously at least to a large extent and particularly advantageously completely integrated in at least one and in particular in the hob. In particular, the hob output unit is at least partially, in particular at least to a large extent and advantageously completely in at least one output unit of and especially the hob integrated. This can result in a particularly low level

Component variety and / or a low inventory are made possible.

A particularly high level of operating convenience can be achieved in particular by a method for operating a food preparation system according to the invention, which has at least one dispensing unit, via which, in at least one operating state, at least one recipe for the preparation of at least one dish from at least one ingredient composition, which allows all of them Ingredients provided for the preparation of the food are defined and guided, with at least one adjustment of at least one chronological sequence of the recipe being automatically initiated in the operating state based on an adjustment of the ingredient composition in at least one recipe step of the recipe.

The food preparation system is not intended to be limited to the application and embodiment described above. In particular, it can
