Abstract
The invention relates to a method for measuring a temperature inside a kitchen appliance (), in particular of a temperature of an item to be cooked of an item to be cooked (), which is to be prepared inside a kitchen appliance (), comprising the method steps: transmitting an electromagnetic excitation signal by means of a transmission-receiving device (), receiving the excitation signal by a temperature sensor (), which is arranged in the kitchen appliance (), in particular in the item to be cooked (), transmitting a temperature-dependent response signal by the temperature sensor (), receiving the response signal by the transmission-receiving device (), determining the current temperature by comparing the response signal to temperature-dependent reference signals. To also provide for an interaction between a plurality of kitchen appliances (), it is proposed for the transmission-receiving device () to transmit the response signal or partial information of the response signal and/or the value of a current temperature, which is determined by means of the transmission-receiving device (), to a control device of a further kitchen appliance () or to an external processor (). In addition, a system for carrying out a method according to the invention is proposed.
