Title:
RICE COOKER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014212892
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rice cooker that can exactly determine a rice cooking amount by a simple configuration while controlling a temperature of rice to a temperature that does not impact on a rice cooking process, or a lower temperature than that, at the time of determining a rice cooking amount.SOLUTION: A rice cooker 100 includes: a heating coil 2 for performing induction heating of a rice cooking pot 1; a drive part 4 for feeding a high-frequency current to the heating coil 2; temperature detection means 3 for detecting a temperature of the rice cooking pot 1; input current detection means 5 for detecting a signal corresponding to the heating power of the rice cooking pot 1; and a control part 7 for determining a rice cooking amount. The control part 7 implements a first rice cooking amount determination that determines a rice cooking amount in the rice cooking pot 1 based on a variation amount of a signal detected by the temperature detection means 3, controls the heating coil 2 to heat the rice cooking pot 1 after implementing the first rice cooking amount determination, and implements a second rice cooking amount determination that determines a rice cooking amount in the rice cooking pot 1 based on a variation amount of a signal detected by the input current detection means 5.
