WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/143678
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A vapor cooker comprising: a heating chamber (20) for containing an object (90) to be cooked; a removable water tank (30); a vapor generating device (40) having a housing (41) to which water is supplied from the water tank (30) and supplying vapor to the heating chamber (20) by heating the water within the housing (41) by means of a vapor generating heater (42); a hardness detecting section (36) having electrodes (30a-30c) which are immersed in the water tank (30) or in a water reservoir section (31), to which the water tank (30) is connected, and detecting the hardness of the water within the water tank (30) from the resistance values between the electrodes (30a-30c); and a notification section (4) for notifying the timing of cleaning of the vapor generating device (40). When the hardness of the water within the water tank (30) detected by the hardness detection section (36) is high, the frequency of the cleaning of the vapor generating device (40) is set to be lower than that when the hardness of the water within the water tank (30) is low.
