As shown in 7b, process data is stored for each rice type and menu.
[0022]
Next, the operation will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
Steps S1 to S16 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. In step S26, the basic sequence is called according to the set menu. In step S27, the process data is called according to the set rice species and menu.
[0023]
Here, the rice cooking characteristics according to the rice type and menu will be described.
When set to rice: polished rice, menu: rice, as shown in FIG. 9, the preheating step promotes the water absorption of rice by keeping the temperature of the pot 2 constant at 50 ° C. for 13 minutes. When preheating is completed, heating is performed at 900 W until the cooked rice in the pan 2 is boiled in a high heat process. When the cooked rice boils, the power is reduced to 450 W in the next low heat process, and moisture is absorbed and evaporated while maintaining the cooked rice at the boiling temperature. When the water content decreases, the temperature of the pan 2 starts to rise rapidly. When this temperature reaches the rice cooking completion temperature of 120 ° C., the heating is stopped and the process proceeds to the uneven process. In the unevenness process, in order to maintain the temperature of the cooked rice at a high temperature and promote the further evaporation of moisture while promoting the pregelatinization of starch, the temperature of the pot 2 is heated so that the uneven temperature of 100 ° C is constant. I do. In this way, delicious rice with sufficient water absorption and no extra moisture is cooked.
[0024]
When set to rice: polished rice, menu: cooked, as shown in FIG. 10, the differences from the above set to polished rice, cooked rice are the preheating time, cooked temperature, and unevenness. Temperature. In the case of cooking, since the seasoning is included, the water absorption of rice is slower than in the case of rice, so the preheating time is set to 15 minutes longer. Moreover, since seasoning settles and the bottom temperature of the pan 2 becomes high compared with the case of rice, the rice cooking completion temperature is set as high as 130 degreeC. Furthermore, since the precipitated seasoning is easy to burn, the uneven temperature is set as low as 95 ° C.
[0025]
The rice seeds: brown rice, menu: when set to rice, as shown in Fig. 11, the difference from the above set to polished rice, rice cooked rice is the power of the low heat process and the heating of the rice is there. In the case of brown rice, the surface of the rice is covered with a film, so that it is difficult to absorb water. However, water absorption can be increased by performing a low heat process after boiling for a long time. For this reason, the electric power of a low-fire process is set as low as 300 W, and the boiling temperature is maintained for a long time. Moreover, in order to maintain boiling temperature for a long time in a low-fire process, the pregelatinization of starch is completed in the low-fire process, and heating is not performed because there is no need for heating in the spot.
As described above, the basic sequence of the polished rice / rice menu, the polished rice / cooked menu, and the brown rice / rice menu is the same, but the process data such as temperature and time are different.
[0026]
Next, the oyster menu will be described.
In the case of rice varieties: polished rice and menu: porridge, the preheating step and the high heat step are the same as the above-described polished rice / rice as shown in FIG. Since the amount of water added to rice porridge is higher than that of rice cooked rice, there is a risk of spilling after boiling, so the power of low heat is set as low as 200W. Since rice porridge finishes cooking while keeping a lot of moisture, unlike rice, it is not heated until the bottom temperature of the pan 2 rises. Therefore, the end of the low heat is determined not by temperature but by time, and when 30 minutes have elapsed from the start of the low heat process, the process shifts to the uneven process. The unevenness process is carried out without heating for 5 minutes in order to stop the boiling of the cooked rice. As described above, since the rice porridge has many portions different from the basic sequence of rice cooking, the basic sequence of rice porridge is set independently.
[0027]
When set to rice: brown rice, menu: porridge, as shown in FIG. 13, the difference from the above polished rice / rice porridge is low heat time and low heat power. Brown rice is difficult to absorb water as described above, and the low heat time is set as long as 80 minutes. Moreover, since the low fire time is long, it is necessary to suppress the evaporation of moisture, and the power is set to a low value of 150W.
Thus, although the basic sequence is common between the polished rice / boiled rice menu and the brown rice / boiled rice menu, the process data such as temperature and time are different.
[0028]
In the second embodiment, the rice menu and the cooked menu are set as a common basic sequence. However, the basic sequence may be set assuming that the ingredients are put in the middle of cooking.
[0029]
As described above, in the third embodiment, three kinds of rice, polished rice, non-washed rice, and brown rice, can be selected by the rice seed selection key, and the rice seed selected by the display means is displayed, and further menu selection is performed. The menu can be selected from rice, rice porridge, and rice cooker, and the menu selected by the display means is displayed, so that the display can be simplified, the operation is easy, and the basic sequence is set. By setting by menu and using process data by setting and using rice varieties and menus, it is not necessary to have a sequence for every rice varieties and every menu, so the capacity of the storage means can be reduced and various rice cooking variations are inexpensive. Can be realized.
[0030]
