Abstract
The method allows accurate setting of the volumetric gas flow through a gas feed line to a burner nozzle of a gas-operated cooking or baking appliance and required for a desired burner heat output. A corresponding cooking or baking appliance, in particular a gas stove, gas cooker, a gas hob, or gas oven, has a burner with a nozzle connected to the gas feed line. A gas valve is arranged in the gas feed line. The accuracy and reproducibility of the setting of the volumetric gas flow is improved owing to the fact that a current flow (actual measured value) of the gas through the gas feed line is detected by means of a meter and is regulated to a calculated or preset desired flow value that corresponds to the desired burner heat output by means of a controller and an actuating device for varying the gas flow.
