Abstract: Leading a cooking process in a lockable cooking chamber of a cooking device, comprises supplying a tableware as accessories including cooking items into the cooking chamber, determining a characteristic size of the accessories over the material of the tableware, the characteristic size of the tableware, the form of the tableware, the weight of the tableware and/or the quantity of the tableware in the cooking chamber, and adjusting an energy entry into the cooking chamber depending on the determined characteristic size of the accessories. Leading a cooking process in a lockable cooking chamber of a cooking device, comprises supplying a tableware as accessories including cooking items into the cooking chamber, determining a characteristic size of the accessories over the material of the tableware, the characteristic size of the tableware, the form of the tableware, the weight of the tableware and/or the quantity of the tableware in the cooking chamber, and adjusting an energy entry into the cooking chamber depending on the determined characteristic size of the accessories. As the characteristic size of accessories the warming up behavior of the tableware comprising the temperature of a tableware, the thermal capacity of the tableware, the thermal conduction of the tableware, the thermal relaxation behaviors of the tableware and/or the thermal expansion behavior of the tableware, is determined over an empirically determined connection with the material of the tableware, the size of the tableware, the form of the tableware, the weight of the tableware and/or the quantity of tableware in the cooking chamber and the temperature in the cooking chamber. For adjusting the energy entry into the cooking chamber a table is referred, that the relationship between the characteristic size of the accessories and the material of the tableware, the size of the tableware, the form of the tableware, the weight of the tableware and/or the quantity of tableware in the cooking chamber at determined temperatures in the cooking chamber, is obtained. The table is retrieved by a storage installed firmly in the cooking device or a storage soluble connectable with the cooking device. The energy entry into the cooking chamber is adjusted over subjecting with hot air, steam and/or microwaves. The cooking process comprises a multiplicity of phases, and the duration of one of these phases is determined by the characteristic size of the accessories. The cooking process includes a preheating phase, a loading phase, a dry heating phase and a damp heating phase. The duration of dry heating phases is determined by the characteristic size of the accessories. The temperature of the cooking chamber during a dry heating phase lies above the temperature of the cooking chamber during a damp heating phase. The cooking chamber is lockable by a door or an air curtain. The opening angle of the door, the opening duration of the door or the air curtain and/or the opening frequency of the door or the air curtain are considered during the setup of the energy entry into the cooking chamber. The cooking chamber is divided into two treatment levels over a rack frame, hanging frame or a rack trolley of the accessories, and the number at the tableware per treatment level is considered during the determination of the characteristic size of the accessories. The material of the tableware, the size of the tableware, the form of the tableware, the weight of the tableware and/or the quantity of tableware, for each treatment level, are detected by a feed mechanism and/or by a sensor. An independent claim is included for a device for leading a cooking process.
