Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for controlling a cooking device, in particular an induction hob. The method comprises the steps of activating an overload power (P) for at least one electric or electronic component of the cooking device by using at least two synchronized generators, which overload power (P) is greater than a standard maximum power (P), deactivating the overload power (P) after a predetermined period (Δt), and operating the cooking device at a power (P), which is at most the standard maximum power (P). The standard maximum power (P) is provided for a permanent operation of the cooking device. The overload power (P) and/or the period (Δt) are determined by a function depending on at least the overload power (P) and the period (Δt). The present invention relates further to a corresponding apparatus for controlling a cooking device, in particular an induction hob.
