In order to improve and make more reliable the preparation of food by several kitchen appliances, the present invention proposes a system and a method. The system for preparing foodstuffs comprises a first kitchen appliance, in particular a cook mixer, a second kitchen appliance and a control unit, the first kitchen appliance having at least one detection means for detecting at least one piece of information about the state of a foodstuff, wherein the first kitchen appliance is connected to the control unit via a first communication connection, and wherein the further kitchen appliance is connected to the control unit via a second communication connection, and is characterized in that the control unit is configured to compare the at least one piece of detected information about the state of the foodstuff with a preparation instruction and in that the control unit is configured to control the further kitchen appliance as a function of the result of the comparison.

The present disclosure relates to a spectrometer comprising a spectral decomposition device and a radiation detector. These components are configured such that the spectral decomposition device can break up an incident electromagnetic measuring radiation into components in a wavelength-dependent manner. The radiation detector can measure the intensity of at least one of these components. The spectrometer is configured such that the spectrometer transmits analysis information from the analysis of a food or of a food component to a food preparation device and/or outputs it to the user via an output device. The present disclosure further relates to a system including a control device as well as to a method. In this way, a reproducible cooking result as well as an output of the nutritional values and the actual energy content of the prepared food can be made possible.

Food analysis device

The invention relates to a system for the preparation of at least one food product () as well as a method for the same, wherein the system () comprises a cooking chamber (), in which the food product () can be prepared.

System for the preparation of at least one food product and method for operating the relevant system

A system consisting of a vehicle which is autarchically mobile in the outdoor area on a property and a surveillance module which can be attached to the vehicle, wherein the surveillance module has surveillance sensors for carrying out surveillance of the property. The surveillance module can be replaced with a work module. Plant care activities can be performed with the work module.

The invention concerns a cooking management method () for planning a cooking process () of a kitchen machine () comprising the following steps: determining () an entertainment program () of an entertainment apparatus (); determining () a planning interval () in which at least one user of the kitchen machine () is connected to the entertainment machine () to enjoy the entertainment program (). The invention also concerns a food processor () and a system for carrying out a cooking operation ().

Cooking management method, food processor, and system for carrying out a cooking operation

The present disclosure relates to a food preparation device. The device comprises a food preparation space, a heating element for heating a food in the food preparation space, and/or a tool for blending and/or chopping a food in the food preparation space. The device further comprises a spectrometer for analyzing a food associated with the device. The present disclosure further relates to a method for analyzing a food. In this way, a reproducible cooking result as well as an output of the nutritional values and the actual energy content of prepared food can be made possible.

Food preparation and analyzing device

The invention relates to a system () for preparing at least one food () having a cooking chamber (), in which the food () can be prepared, an energy unit (), in order to carry out an supplying of electromagnetic energy into the cooking chamber () specific to the at least one food () in dependence on cooking information () of the at least one food (), whereby the at least one food () can be brought into an edible state, wherein the energy unit () has at least two transmission antennae (), which are spaced apart from each other, can be actuated by at least one high frequency signal encoder of the system (), and are designed to emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range into the cooking chamber () based on said actuation.

A sensor module is assigned to a vehicle that can be displaced in a terrain or designed for being positioned in the terrain. The sensor module has a sensor system with sensors that acquire sensor data in a contactless fashion. The sensors are designed for detecting the spatial extent of the plant at a location in the terrain. The sensor data makes it possible to determine whether the plant should be pruned. To this end, the sensor data is evaluated by utilizing a knowledge database.

System for measuring three-dimensional environment data, particularly for plant care, as well as sensor module

An electrically operated food processor for preparing a cooked product, which exhibits a basic unit, a vessel with an agitator that can be inserted into the basic unit, a cooking container that sits on the vessel, a heating device allocated to the vessel, a temperature sensor, a transceiver device for communicating with the temperature sensor, and an evaluator for evaluating the measurement data received from the temperature sensor. In order to provide an electric food processor with an alternative connection between the temperature sensor and evaluator, the temperature sensor can be a surface acoustic wave sensor (SAW sensor).
