Monitoring a cooking process involves detecting variation in intensity of light incident on optical sensor designed to output signal characteristic of surface of cooked material in pot

摘要

The method involves monitoring a cooking process in a cooking pot in which food is heated by at least one heating device (23). At least one part of the surface (19) of the cooked material is detected optically with at least one optical sensor (16) designed to output a sensor signal characteristic of the surface of the cooked material. A variation in the light intensity of the light incident on the optical sensor is detected. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for monitoring a cooking process and a cooking pot, especially for implementing the method.
