Abstract

A method for controlling a power of an electromagnetic cooking device is shown. The method includes controlling a power supply to deliver a power level to the amplifier and monitoring at least one RF feed delivered to an enclosed cavity. The method further includes identifying an output power based on the RF feed and comparing the output power to a maximum power. A power difference of the output power compared to a target power is determined, and the power difference is compared to a plurality of difference thresholds. Based on the comparison, the power level is adjusted by a plurality of power adjustment magnitudes.
