Method for controlling toasting and baking implemented in a device for controlling toasting and baking comprising: means for sensing toasting such that the degree for toasting is detected as a function of the shade thereof; means for processing the signal emanating from the sensing means; logic processing and control means; logic means for storing; and a plurality of toasting means; wherein all the components are connected to the logic processing and control means; and wherein the method is characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: (a) once the device has been initialized, the plurality of toasting means begins to operate; (b) once the plurality of toasting means have reached their working temperature, an initial impression of the product to be toasted or baked is captured; (c) every "n" seconds, the value of n depending on the type of product, the means for sensing toasting sense the impression of the product to be toasted or baked inside the device and compares the sensed impression of the product to the initial impression of the product to be toasted or baked captured in the step (b); and wherein the toasting is identified by the change in shade thereof; (d) and wherein during the comparison performed in step (c) if there is an area of the product to be toasted or baked inside the device that changes in colour faster than another area, the logic processing and control means turn off or reduce the power of the toasting means covering the area that has changed its colour faster; and (e) turning off the toasting means when the product toasted or baked inside the device uniformly reaches a degree of toasting or baking chosen by the user. means for sensing toasting such that the degree for toasting is detected as a function of the shade thereof; means for processing the signal emanating from the sensing means; logic processing and control means; logic means for storing; and a plurality of toasting means; wherein all the components are connected to the logic processing and control means; and wherein the method is characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: (a) once the device has been initialized, the plurality of toasting means begins to operate; (b) once the plurality of toasting means have reached their working temperature, an initial impression of the product to be toasted or baked is captured; (c) every "n" seconds, the value of n depending on the type of product, the means for sensing toasting sense the impression of the product to be toasted or baked inside the device and compares the sensed impression of the product to the initial impression of the product to be toasted or baked captured in the step (b); and wherein the toasting is identified by the change in shade thereof; (d) and wherein during the comparison performed in step (c) if there is an area of the product to be toasted or baked inside the device that changes in colour faster than another area, the logic processing and control means turn off or reduce the power of the toasting means covering the area that has changed its colour faster; and (e) turning off the toasting means when the product toasted or baked inside the device uniformly reaches a degree of toasting or baking chosen by the user.
