1. A method for controlling a cooking process by using a liquid in a cooking vessel upon a cooking hob, wherein said method comprises:
a) determining a cooking parameter of the liquid in the cooking vessel at a predetermined time,
b) adjusting a heating power density of a cooking zone of the cooking hob for transferring the heating power density to the cooking vessel placed on said cooking zone,
c) reducing the heating power density transferred to the cooking vessel from an initial power to a simmering power (PS),
detecting a simmering temperature of the liquid in the cooking vessel, and
controlling the simmering power (PS) based on the detected simmering temperature, wherein the simmering power (PS) is regulated according to the following condition: PSmin≤PS≤PSmax,
wherein PSmin is a minimum simmering power and PSmax is a maximum simmering power.
