KITCHEN APPLIANCE AND METHOD FOR TAKING A FOOD SAMPLE

The present disclosure relates to a food processor along with a corresponding method for performing a food preparation process by heating, chopping and/or mixing a food in a food preparation vessel. The food processor comprises a control device configured such that the control device ensures, based on one or more cooking parameters, that in a cooking mode a food is heated, chopped and/or mixed in the food preparation vessel. A sampling mode for taking a food sample is provided and the control device is configured such that at least one of the cooking parameters is modified compared to the cooking mode for a modified continuation of the food preparation process when the sampling mode is activated. A particularly reproducible cooking result can be achieved in this way despite taking a food sample.
