Claim Text:
1. Apparatus for reheating cooked food, comprising: a container for receiving food to be reheated; a sensing module; a heating module; and a processing unit; wherein the sensing module is provided with: an emitter arrangement configured to emit at least: light as first sensing radiation (SRA light as second sensing radiation (SRA wherein the first and the second sensing radiations have different reflecting characteristics in relation with fat and protein in the food to be reheated; and a sensor arrangement configured to detect light with the first sensing peak wavelength and light with the second sensing peak wavelength; wherein the light is reflected by the food; and wherein the heating module is configured to provide energy to the food arranged in the container by at least one heating radiation source for heating the food in dependency of a determined fat/protein ratio; wherein the processing unit is configured to determine the fat/protein ratio of the food arranged in the container based on the detected light reflected by the food; wherein the processing unit is configured to determine operating parameters of the heating module; and wherein the processing unit is configured to control the heating radiation source to emit: light as first heating radiation (HRA light as second heating radiation (HRA wherein a power output of the first heating peak wavelength and the second heating peak wavelength is adapted to have a different absorption characteristics relating to fat and protein of the food.
