Claim:
A method for displaying the progress of a desired climate in a cooking chamber of a cooking appliance wherein, during the execution of a program in the cooking appliance to reach a determined desired climate in the cooking chamber of the cooking appliance, the progress at a plurality of moments t is displayed, the method comprising: during a first time interval from t 0 to t 1 , estimating a moment t 3 of the reaching of the desired climate and a moment t 2 at which a second time interval is to be started, wherein t 1 ≦t 2 <t 3 . detecting a value of a first variable at least once, the first variable being characteristic of the climate in the cooking chamber and changing over time; comparing the detected value of the first variable with a desired value of the first variable which characterizes the desired climate in the first time interval to estimate the moments t 2 and t 3 ; and during the second time interval from t 2 , to t 3 , estimating the moment t 3 by taking the course of the first variable over time into consideration at least once and by using stored tables on the chronological development of the first variable
