Abstract:
Methods for heat treating food products include controlling a temperature of a heating element to a maximum temperature correlated to a desired temperature for the food product. A sensed temperature of the heating element may be used to control the maximum temperature. An oven includes a heating element and a temperature sensor configured to sense the temperature of the heating element, and a controller that limits the temperature the heating element based on output from the temperature sensor.

Claim (Index 58):
An oven, comprising:\n a housing defining an interior cooking space; an electrically energizable heating element exposed to air that is in or enters the interior cooking space and configured to heat that air; a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the heating element; and a controller configured to impose an upper limit on the temperature of the heating element and respond to output from the temperature sensor such that the heating element temperature does not exceed the upper limit while the oven heat treats a food product primarily by thermal transfer of heat from the air heated by the heating element to the food product by natural or forced air convection.
