Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001070087
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An automatic cooker for cooking food includes a heating unit, a controller, a power supply, at least one food probe and a control panel. The heating unit has a cavity therein for heating the food and a cavity temperature controller. The controller is electrically connected to the cavity temperature controller of the heating unit and the controller includes control data for comparing at least a plurality of foods and a plurality of doneness to internal food temperature. The power supply is electrically connected to the controller. The at least one food probe is electrically connected to the controller. Each probe is adapted to be inserted in the food when the food is in the cavity during cooking and is adapted to provide data to the controller with regard to the internal temperature of the food. The control panel is electrically connected to the controller and it includes a method of inputting food type and doneness from which the controller determines the required internal food temperature for a selected food and doneness. A method of automatically cooking uses the steps of providing control data, selecting a food from the plurality of foods, selecting a doneness from the plurality of doneness settings, determining the done internal food temperature from the control data, and indicating when the internal food temperature reaches the done internal food temperature. The control data includes comparisons of at least a plurality of foods and a plurality of doneness settings to internal food temperature.
