Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0688147A1] A method for controlling a microwave oven, a microwave oven and its use for automatic cooking or heating of food are disclosed. On the basis of supplied food-category information on the type of food and its initial state and on the basis of supplied information on the weight of the food, a corresponding preprogrammed control program is selected. The control program is divided into time periods during which the microwave radiation source (20) of the oven, a microwave-activable crisp plate (4) and a grill element, if any, are activated at power levels determined by the program. The implementation of the program is monitored by calculation and decrementation of the expected durations of the time periods on the basis of the weight of the food and the constants determined by the food category. <IMAGE>
