Problems solved by technology

However, applying heat for browning may prolong the cooking process and start to dry out or otherwise adversely affect the finished product
With many combi ovens, striking the balance between browning and cooking can be a difficult manual process of trial and error

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Certain example embodiments will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which some, but not all example embodiments are shown. Indeed, the examples described and illustrated herein should not be construed as limiting the scope, applicability or configuration of the present disclosure. Rather, these example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. The same reference numerals denote the same elements throughout. Furthermore, the term "or" as used herein should be read as a logical operator whose result is true if one or more of its operands is true. Actively coupled as used herein should be understood to refer to direct or indirect connections which in any case enable the functional interconnection of components which are operatively coupled to each other. Furthermore, the term "browning" as used herein should be understood to refer to the Maillard reaction or other desir...

Abstract

An oven includes a cooking chamber configured to receive a food product, a user interface configured to display information associated with processes employed for cooking, first and second energy sources, and a cooking controller. The first energy source provides primary heating and the second energy source provides secondary heating for the food product. The cooking controller may be operably coupled to the first and second energy sources. The cooking controller may include processing circuitry configured to enable an operator to make a browning control selection via the user interface by providing operator instructions to a selected control console rendered at the user interface. The selected control console may be selected based on a cooking mode of the oven. The browning control selection may provide control parameters to direct application of heat to the food product via the second energy source.

Description

technical field [0001] Exemplary embodiments relate generally to ovens, and more particularly to ovens that enable cooking of food with an amount of browning that can be controlled by a user. Background technique [0002] Combi ovens capable of cooking with more than one heat source (eg, convection, steam, microwave, etc.) have been in use for decades. Each cooking source has its own unique feature set. Thus, combi ovens are often able to trade off the advantages of each of the different cooking sources in an attempt to provide an improved cooking process in terms of time and / or quality. [0003] In some cases, microwave cooking can be faster than convection or other types of cooking. Therefore, microwave cooking can be used to speed up the cooking process. However, microwaves generally cannot be used to cook certain foods and cannot brown most foods. Since browning can add certain desirable characteristics related to taste and appearance, it may be necessary to use anot...
