To overcome the disadvantage of food heating using overheated steam that a structure for generating overheated steam is complex.
In this heating cooking apparatus, water is directly injected and supplied onto an evaporating member 8 in a preheated heating chamber 1 to achieve quick evaporation and overheating to generate overheated steam excellent in food heating performance. A heat storage member 9 is disposed intimately with the evaporating member 8 to promote water evaporation. An upwardly-open exhaust flow passage is provided in communication with the heating chamber 1 to cause only the steam to condense and reflow. Further, an ambient temperature measuring means 10 is provided for measuring ambient temperature inside the heating chamber 1, and water feeding action is produced after the temperature measured by the ambient temperature measuring means 10 has reached a preset temperature.
