Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022122317A1] The invention relates to a household microwave appliance (1) operated with multiple parameter configurations Sp, Sq, which treat food to be cooked (G) in a locally differing manner in order to carry out (S2) an initial scan by means of a thermal imaging sensor (9) directed into the cooking chamber to determine temperature distributions < T > on a surface of the food to be cooked G, in order to obtain change patterns < ΔT >p,q from differences between different temperature distributions < T >p, < T >q, for which an evaluation value Bq,p is calculated, which, on the basis of a target temperature distribution < Tziel >, < Tziel* >p,q resulting from a normalised target state < Z > and a current temperature distribution < T >, determines that heating pattern < ΔT >p,q | best which best brings the current temperature distribution < T > closer to the target temperature distribution, and then microwave power is applied (S5) to the food to be cooked with the parameter configuration belonging to the heating pattern < ΔT >p,q | best.
