Abstract
An oven having multiple oven cavity temperature sensors that provide improved monitoring of oven temperature and that permit improved oven temperature control is provided. Multiple temperature values from the different sensors may be combined or analyzed to provide a more consistent and accurate measurement of the temperature of the food being cooked. Patterns of temperature as a function of location in the oven cavity may be analyzed to detect abnormal but correctable temperature inhomogeneities (for example, cold spots or stratification) and used to adjust parameters of the oven control, (for example, by fan speed/direction adjustment, cycle control of the fan and heater elements) to provide more even temperature distributions.
