Abstract

The heating uniformity of a domestic cooker is decisive for good results of the food elaboration. In this work we present the use of the inverse thermal modelling for the calculation of the power distribution transferred from a domestic cooker to the pan. The most common cooking stoves (induction, electric resistance and gas), have been used. The proposed method, using a rectangular thin metallic piece and an infrared camera, improves the accuracy and reduces the computational cost with respect to previous works. Moreover, it can help to improve the design process of cookers, providing more reliable results than current methods based in experimental tests with real food.
