Abstract: A cooking apparatus includes a pair of plates in between which a food item is to be cooked, at least one of the plates having a heating element for cooking the food item. The cooking apparatus has a user interface for selecting a cooking preference, a measurement sensor for measuring a distance between the pair of plates when the food item lies between the pair of plates, a weight sensor for measuring weight of the food item, and a control system for receiving at least one signal from the measurement and weight sensors to determine a cooking profile for cooking the food item to the cooking preference and to calculate a total amount of energy required to cook the food item according to the cooking profile and an amount of energy to be transferred per unit time to the food item, and to control power supply to the heating element based on the calculated amount of energy transferred per unit time to the food item.
