Abstract
A cooking method includes receiving first image data and second image data corresponding to a view of a food item at a first time and at a second time of a cooking process, respectively. A perimeter of the food item visible in the view encloses a first area of the food item. A region of interest in the view that maps to a second area of the food item is selected, which is less than the first area. A phase of the cooking process is identified based on a comparison of a first color of the food item at the first time with a second color of the food item at the second time. The first and second colors are derived from a part of the first image data and a part of the second image data, respectively, that correspond to the region of interest.
