Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a cooking process of a cooking product in a cooking chamber of an oven, comprising the following steps: determining said cooking product to be cooked; reading out from a memory of a control circuit a vector associated with said cooking product to be cooked, said vector being determined beforehand and having a time value and a scalar value; detecting a concentration of a gas characteristic for said cooking product by means of a gas sensor; detecting a first time at which a time behaviour of the concentration of said gas characteristic for said cooking product has a value of an absolute greatest gradient; storing said value of said absolute greatest gradient and a time of reaching said first point; detecting a second point at which said time behaviour of said concentration of said characteristic gas has a zero gradient; storing said second time; determining a gradient of a straight line through said first and second points; and calculating a total cooking period for said cooking product by multiplying said determined gradient of said straight line with said scalar value of said vector and adding said time value of said vector.
