Abstract: The invention relates to a package (10) of a foodstuff cooking device, the package (10) for containing foodstuff and comprising on a surface thereof an arrangement of separate codes encoding cooking information, each code encoding a distinct phase of a cooking process, the phases in the cooking process being determined considering the deviation of the real value of at least one parameter significantly influencing the preparation of the foodstuff, with respect to a reference value of it. The at least one parameter measured is one or a combination of the following: weight of the foodstuff; weight of one or several ingredients in the foodstuff; geometrical distribution of one or several ingredients in the foodstuff; foodstuff initial temperature; foodstuff age; foodstuff uniformity; proportion and/or shape dimension of one or several ingredients in the foodstuff.The invention further relates to a foodstuff cooking system (100) comprising a package (10) as the one described and a cooking device (20). The invention further relates to a method of cooking a foodstuff using such system (100).
