SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING REPRODUCIBILITY OF COOKING RESULTS OF A MULTI-FUNCTION COOKING APPARATUS

A multi-function cooking apparatus control system (100) and control method for improving the reproducibility of cooking results of a multi-function cooking apparatus (200) within a predefined tolerance range. The control system includes a recipe program interface component (120) to access a plurality of recipe programs on a data storage device (400). A particular recipe program is configured to be executed by the cooking apparatus (200) under predefined operating conditions. The predefined operating conditions include at least an operating parameter setting for a technical capability parameter of the cooking apparatus. The interface can forward recipe program instructions of the recipe program to the cooking apparatus. An operating parameter interface component (110) receives actual operating parameter values reflecting actual operating conditions of the cooking apparatus (200) in view of the predefined operating conditions. An operating conditions evaluator component (130) checks the actual operating parameter values. If an actual technical capability parameter deviates from the predefined operating conditions and indicates a non-compensable deficiency of a technical capability of the cooking apparatus (200), instructions are sent to the cooking apparatus to prevent or stop automatic execution of the particular recipe program. If the actual technical capability parameter deviates from the predefined operating conditions and indicates a compensable deficiency of the technical capability of the cooking apparatus (200), compensation instructions are determined for the cooking apparatus according to predefined compensation rules. A recipe program adjustment component (140) adjusts the particular recipe program according to the determined compensation instructions in case the compensation instructions include at least one recipe adjustment instruction.
