Claim 6:
7. A cooking adjustment system for a cooking appliance, comprising:
a body defining a cooking cavity;
a steam generator system coupled to the body, wherein the steam generator system is configured to inject steam into the cooking cavity;
an air temperature sensor disposed within the cooking cavity and configured to sense a dry bulb temperature;
a food probe having multiple food temperature sensors, wherein at least one of the multiple food temperature sensors is configured to sense a surface temperature of a food item; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the steam generator system, the air temperature sensor, and the food probe, wherein the controller is configured to:
determine a wet bulb temperature utilizing the surface temperature of the food;
determine a relative humidity in the cooking cavity at intervals based on the wet bulb temperature and the dry bulb temperature;
dynamically adjust the relative humidity within the cooking cavity in response to at least one of the wet bulb temperature, the dry bulb temperature, and a determined relative humidity; and
determine a remaining cooking time based on the determined relative humidity and an elapsed cooking time.
