measuring a dry bulb temperature within a cooking cavity;
measuring a surface temperature of a food item positioned within the cooking cavity;
determining a wet bulb temperature using the surface temperature;
determining a relative humidity within the cooking cavity based on the wet bulb temperature and the dry bulb temperature;
determining a heat transfer rate between a core temperature of the food item and the surface temperature;
adjusting the relative humidity within the cooking cavity in response to at least one of the wet bulb temperature, the dry bulb temperature, the relative humidity, and the heat transfer rate to actively adjust a cooking process in response to the food item during the cooking process; and
calculating a cooking time based on the relative humidity.
