Method for preparing food and food processor

Abstract The invention relates to a method, a computer program product and a food processor for preparing a food (20) in a pot (2) by means of a food processor (1) comprising the pot (2), a 5 heating element (3) for heating the pot (2) and/or a food (20) in the pot (2), and a temperature sensor (4) for determining an actual temperature (Ti) of the pot (2) or the food (20) in the pot (2), comprising the following steps: Performing temperature control by a control device (10) in a temperature control mode based on a desired temperature (TT) by adjusting an electrical energy supplied to the heating element (3) in dependence on the 0 actual temperature (Ti) so that the actual temperature (Ti) approaches or reaches the desired temperature (TT). The method further comprises the steps of: Detecting a predetermined boiling stage of the food (20) by a boiling detection unit (14); and Changing from the temperature control mode to a fixed mode of the control device (10) when the boiling detection unit (14) detects the predetermined boiling stage, wherein the electrical energy 5 supplied to the heating element (3) is kept at a fixed value (Pi, P2 , P3 ) in the fixed mode. In this way, a reproducible boiling result can be reliably achieved with a not very complex system. (Fig. 1) o5 Fig. 1
