Abstract

See full text

A method and an apparatus for preparing food. In one example the method comprises the steps of: providing a cooking pan; filing the cooking pan with a food item; wherein the food item is at least partially liquid; placing the pan in thermal connection to a heat source; thermally connecting a temperature sensor to the cooking pan at the temperature sensing location; heating the food in the pan via a heat source having a first thermal output until the food reaches the boiling point; electronically detecting the temperature via the temperature sensor as the food is heated; detecting the temperature as the food item boils, resulting in a phase change and corresponding drop in temperature; and reducing the thermal output of the heat source to a second thermal output.
