Title:
RICE COOKER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/079140
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This rice cooker is provided with: a pot; a temperature detecting unit which detects the temperature of a bottom portion of the pot; a first heater which heats the bottom portion; a second heater which heats a side portion of the pot; and a control unit. The control unit is configured such that, in a water absorbing step, the pot is not heated with the first heater and is heated with the second heater until the temperature detecting unit, after detecting a first reference temperature, detects a second reference temperature higher than the first reference temperature. In addition, the control unit is configured such that, in the water absorbing step, the capacity of material to be cooked is estimated on the basis of the time that elapses from after the detection of the first reference temperature to the detection of the second reference temperature by the temperature detecting unit. Thus, in the water absorbing step, the accuracy of the estimated amount of rice to be cooked is improved.
