Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2053315A2] The method involves activating a microwave generator (20) and deactivating a microwave detector (30) for cooking substances (4) to be cooked. The microwave generator is deactivated and the microwave detector is activated for measuring a loading condition of a cooking chamber (2) of a cooking device (1). Decaying characteristics of microwave radiations, microwave energy and microwave power stored in the cooking chamber during cooking are compared with a stored reference value of the loading condition for measuring the loading condition. An independent claim is also included for a cooking device with an antenna for coupling microwave radiations to a cooking chamber.
