1. A cooking method for a cooking appliance comprising a single holding means provided to hold ingredients, a stirring means arranged inside the single holding means, at least one main heating means, at least one ventilator powered by a motor for generating a heating flow, the single holding means and the stirring means being designed to be animated with a relative rotation at a certain speed, the appliance comprising at least one interface for control of the relative rotation, of the at least one main heating means, and of the at least one ventilator powered by the motor, the cooking method comprising:
an initial step in which at least first type of ingredient is arranged according to a specific arrangement in one of at least two separate cooking zones of the single holding means and, simultaneously at least second type of ingredient is arranged according to a specific arrangement in a second one of the at least two separate cooking zones, where the one of the at least two separate cooking zones is at least in part but mainly directly underneath the heating flow;
a first cooking step during which the relative rotation of the single holding means and of the stirring means is neutralized, the at least one main heating means is controlled in order to regulate the temperature at a first set-point value, and the at least one ventilator powered by the motor is controlled in order to regulate the heating flow at a first circulation speed, such that the at least first type of ingredient arranged in the one of the at least two separate cooking zones at least in part but mainly directly underneath the heating flow is subject to a greater heat gain than the at least second type of ingredient arranged in the second one of the at least two separate cooking zones; and
a second cooking step during which the relative rotation of the single holding means and of the stirring means is active at a first speed of relative rotation of the single holding means and of the stirring means such that the at least first and second types of ingredients arranged in the one and the second one of the at least two separate cooking zones are mixed, and the at least one main heating means is controlled in order to regulate the temperature at a second set-point value, greater than or equal to the first set-point value, and the at least one ventilator powered by the motor is controlled in order to regulate the heating flow at a second circulation speed.
