a heating chamber;
a heating element configured to heat a cooking medium in the heating chamber;
a temperature sensor configured to monitor a temperature of the cooking medium in said heating chamber over time;
a mass sensor configured to monitor a mass of a food item in the heating chamber over time; and
a controller configured to:
receive mass information from said mass sensor;
receive temperature information from said temperature sensor;
predict a core temperature of said food item based on an initial temperature of said food item, the mass of the food item, and a rate of change of said mass of said food item;
control a cooking process involving the heating element heating the cooking medium in dependence on the predicted food item core temperature, wherein said heating of said cooking medium is adaptively modified based on the predicted food item core temperature matching a predetermined model of the cooking process; and
halt said cooking process when the predicted food item core temperature achieves a desired core temperature.
