Food processor; wherein the food processor comprises, - a container for receiving a food product; - a heating unit which is designed to heat up the container from at least one side of the container; - a first temperature sensor, which is designed to capture first temperature data in respect of a first temperature at a first point on the container; wherein the first temperature data and/or the first temperature indicate a temperature of the food product in a first region of the container; - a second temperature sensor which is designed to capture second temperature data in respect of a second temperature at a second point on the container; wherein the second temperature data and/or the second temperature indicate a temperature of the food product in a second region of the container; wherein the second region lies above the first region; and - a control unit, which is configured - to determine, on the basis of the first temperature data for a specific time instant, that the temperature of the food product in the first region at the specific time instant lies above an upper temperature threshold value; - to determine, on the basis of the second temperature data for the specific time instant, that the temperature of the food product in the second region at the specific time instant lies above the upper temperature threshold value; - to determine on this basis that a critical usage situation of the food processor exists at the specific time instant, in particular a use of the food processor for deep-frying; and - in response thereto, to trigger at least one measure in respect of the critical usage situation. - a container for receiving a food product; - a heating unit which is designed to heat up the container from at least one side of the container; - a first temperature sensor, which is designed to capture first temperature data in respect of a first temperature at a first point on the container; wherein the first temperature data and/or the first temperature indicate a temperature of the food product in a first region of the container; - a second temperature sensor which is designed to capture second temperature data in respect of a second temperature at a second point on the container; wherein the second temperature data and/or the second temperature indicate a temperature of the food product in a second region of the container; wherein the second region lies above the first region; and - a control unit, which is configured - to determine, on the basis of the first temperature data for a specific time instant, that the temperature of the food product in the first region at the specific time instant lies above an upper temperature threshold value; - to determine, on the basis of the second temperature data for the specific time instant, that the temperature of the food product in the second region at the specific time instant lies above the upper temperature threshold value; - to determine on this basis that a critical usage situation of the food processor exists at the specific time instant, in particular a use of the food processor for deep-frying; and - in response thereto, to trigger at least one measure in respect of the critical usage situation. - to determine, on the basis of the first temperature data for a specific time instant, that the temperature of the food product in the first region at the specific time instant lies above an upper temperature threshold value; - to determine, on the basis of the second temperature data for the specific time instant, that the temperature of the food product in the second region at the specific time instant lies above the upper temperature threshold value; - to determine on this basis that a critical usage situation of the food processor exists at the specific time instant, in particular a use of the food processor for deep-frying; and - in response thereto, to trigger at least one measure in respect of the critical usage situation.
