Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

It should be understood that some embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the technical solutions of the present application, and are not used to limit the technical scope of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, a cooking method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

Step S101, controlling the cooking pot to enter a steam pretreatment stage;

here, step S101 may be implemented by a control assembly in the cooking pot. Here, the cooking pot may be a pot having a function of spraying steam. Here, the cooking pot may include, but is not limited to, an electric cooker, an electric stewpot, an electric pressure cooker, an electric steam cooker, etc. having a function of spraying steam.

Here, the steam pretreatment stage can quickly penetrate the coarse cereals at high temperature, so that the cooking maturity of the coarse cereals is accelerated, and for example, the coarse cereals can be quickly cooked to five-divided maturity.

Step S102, under the steam pretreatment stage, adopting a specific first cooking program to pretreat coarse cereals in the cooking pot, wherein the cooking parameters set in the first cooking program at least comprise a steam temperature range;

here, the specific first cooking program is used to implement a steam pretreatment stage.

The first cooking program is provided with at least two cooking parameters, wherein the at least two cooking parameters at least comprise a steam temperature range and a pretreatment duration; in some embodiments, the first cooking program is provided with at least three cooking parameters including at least a steam temperature range, a water consumption per unit time, and a pretreatment duration. The water consumption per unit time is understood as the water consumption rate, for example, the water consumption per minute, and in general, these three parameters can be determined according to the amount of coarse cereals and can be in a proportional relationship with the amount of coarse cereals. The manner of determining the at least three parameters may be at least one of: 1) Three parameters in the first cooking program may be default; 2) The three parameters in the first cooking procedure can be determined according to the coarse cereal amount and can be in a proportional relation with the coarse cereal amount, for example, the coarse cereal amount of the coarse cereal is judged, and the three parameters are determined according to the coarse cereal amount; 3) The first cooking program acquires at least one parameter set by the user on the control panel, and other parameters not set may take a default value. For example, a user may set a steam temperature range, and the cooking pot automatically sets the water consumption per unit time and the treatment duration according to the set steam temperature range. When the vapor temperature range is high, the water consumption per unit time is large, and the water consumption rate is high. For example, the user may set the pretreatment duration to 5 minutes, with the water consumption per unit time and the steam temperature range taking default values; for example, the user can set the steam temperature to be 100 ℃ to 120 ℃, the pretreatment time is set to be 3 minutes, and the water consumption per unit time adopts a default value.

Step S103, in a cooking stage after the steam pretreatment stage, the coarse cereals are cooked by adopting a specific second cooking program, wherein the cooking parameters set in the second cooking program at least comprise a cooking temperature range, and the lower limit of the steam temperature range is larger than the lower limit of the cooking temperature range.

Here, the lower limit of the steam temperature range may be greater than the upper limit of the cooking temperature range, and the lower limit of the steam temperature range may be less than the upper limit of the cooking temperature range.

Here, the specific second cooking program is used to achieve a cooking coarse cereal stage. Here, the second cooking program is provided with at least three cooking parameters, at least one of which includes a cooking temperature range. Here, since the first cooking process is used for high-temperature rapid penetration of coarse cereals, the first cooking process has a high-temperature characteristic compared to the second cooking process, and therefore, when the first cooking process and the second cooking process are implemented, the lower limit of the steam temperature range is required to be greater than the lower limit of the cooking temperature range.

The steam temperature range and the cooking temperature range may each include an upper temperature limit and a lower temperature limit, and the upper temperature limit may be greater than the lower temperature limit, or the upper temperature limit may be the same as the lower temperature limit. In practice, it is difficult to control the temperature to a specific value, and therefore, a temperature range is generally used to control the cooking process. The lower limit of the vapor temperature range may be a boiling point which is a temperature at which water is boiled, and the boiling point of water is 100 ℃ at normal atmospheric pressure, and a small range of fluctuation occurs in the boiling point of water at non-normal atmospheric pressure. For example, where the plateau or the like is less than standard atmospheric pressure, the temperature of the vapor may be less than 100 degrees, e.g., the Qinghai-Tibet plateau may be 95 degrees.

In some embodiments, controlling the cooking pot to enter a steam pretreatment stage in step S101 includes: determining the type of food materials contained in the cooking pot; and under the condition that the food materials are determined to be coarse cereals according to the types of the food materials, controlling the cooking pot to enter a steam pretreatment stage.

The food material can be coarse cereals or five crop mixtures mixed with the coarse cereals. The miscellaneous cereals may be grain bean crops other than five kinds of rice, wheat, corn, soybean and potato crops, and may be grain bean crops such as sorghum, millet, buckwheat, oat, hulless oat, barley, broom corn millet, coix seed, amaranth seed, kidney bean, mung bean, small bean, broad bean, pea, cowpea, lentil and black bean. Here, the mixture may be a mixture of five crops of rice, wheat, corn, soybean and potato and a grain bean crop. The food material may be coarse cereals, and the coarse cereals may be coarse cereals or five-crop mixture mixed with coarse cereals.

In some embodiments, the determining the type of food item contained in the cooking pot may be performed by determining the type of food item contained in the cooking pot in response to a user selecting the type of food item on the control panel.

The embodiment of the application provides a cooking method, which comprises the following steps:

Step S210, determining the types of food materials contained in the cooking pot;

step S220, controlling the cooking pot to enter a steam pretreatment stage under the condition that the food materials are determined to be coarse cereals according to the types of the food materials;

step S230, under the steam pretreatment stage, adopting a specific first cooking program to pretreat coarse cereals in the cooking pot, wherein the cooking parameters set in the first cooking program at least comprise a steam temperature range, and the cooking parameters set in the first cooking program also comprise the water consumption per unit time and the pretreatment duration;

here, the water consumption per unit time is used to characterize the amount of water that needs to be consumed per unit time when the coarse cereals in the cooking pot are cooked in the first cooking program. The pretreatment duration is used for representing the duration of the coarse cereals in the cooking pot to be cooked in the first cooking program. For example, the steam temperature in the cooking pot is set to 100 to 160 ℃, the water consumption per unit time is 20 to 500 grams per minute (g/min), and the pretreatment time is 5 to 30 minutes (min).

In some embodiments, before the step S230, the method further includes a step S231:

Step S231, determining the pretreatment duration in the first cooking procedure or determining the water consumption and the pretreatment duration in the first cooking procedure in unit time according to the coarse cereal amount of the coarse cereal;

when the method is implemented, when the steam flow of the cooking pot cannot be controlled, the pretreatment time length can be controlled according to the cooking quantity (coarse cereal quantity) to achieve the pretreatment effect; when the steam flow can be controlled by the cooking pot, the water consumption and the pretreatment duration in unit time can be simultaneously controlled according to the cooking quantity so as to achieve the pretreatment effect.

Here, the amount of the miscellaneous cereals may be classified. When the coarse cereal amount is smaller than a first preset value, the corresponding coarse cereal amount is of a first grade; when the coarse cereal amount is smaller than a second preset value and larger than a first preset value, the corresponding coarse cereal amount is of a second grade; and when the coarse cereal amount is smaller than a third preset value and larger than the second preset value, the corresponding coarse cereal amount is of a third grade. Here, the amount of the miscellaneous cereals is set by the user according to the amount of the miscellaneous cereals put in the cooking pot and the prompt of the control panel.

Here, after the coarse cereal amounts are classified, the water consumption and the pretreatment time period of the unit time can be different according to the coarse cereal amounts of different grades. The first grade coarse cereal amount corresponds to a first preset water consumption amount in unit time and a first pretreatment duration; the second-level coarse cereal amount corresponds to a second preset water consumption amount per unit time and a second pretreatment duration; the third-level coarse cereal amount corresponds to a third preset water consumption amount per unit time and a third pretreatment duration.

Here, the amount of the miscellaneous cereals may be determined by the amount of the miscellaneous cereals selected by the user in the control panel, or may be determined by the cooking pot according to the quality of the miscellaneous cereals.

In some embodiments, the water consumption and the pretreatment duration for a corresponding unit time are determined in response to the user selecting the coarse cereal amount level in the control panel.

In step S240, in the cooking stage after the steam pretreatment stage, the coarse cereals are cooked by adopting a specific second cooking program, where the cooking parameters set in the second cooking program at least include a cooking temperature range, the lower limit of the steam temperature range is greater than the lower limit of the cooking temperature range, and the cooking parameters set in the second cooking program further include a water injection amount and a cooking duration.

Here, the water injection rate is used to characterize the amount of water that needs to be injected into the pan in order to fully cure and soften the coarse cereals during the second cooking procedure. The cooking time period is used to characterize the time period required to complete the second cooking program.

In some embodiments, prior to the step S240, the method further includes a step S241:

step S241, determining the water injection amount and the cooking duration in the second cooking procedure according to the coarse cereal amount;

Here, the water injection amount and the cooking time period can be different according to the coarse cereal amounts of different grades. After the coarse cereal amounts are graded, the coarse cereal amounts in different grades correspond to different water injection amounts. The first grade coarse cereal amount corresponds to a first preset water injection amount and a first cooking duration; the second-level coarse cereal amount corresponds to a second preset water injection amount and a second cooking duration; the third-level coarse cereal amount corresponds to a third preset water injection amount and a third cooking duration.

In the embodiment of the application, firstly, determining a steam temperature range, water consumption per unit time and pretreatment duration in the first cooking procedure according to the coarse cereal amount of the coarse cereal; and then, determining the water injection amount and the cooking duration in the second cooking program according to the coarse cereal amount. Thus, parameters in the first cooking program and the second cooking program can be determined according to the amount of the cooked coarse cereals, and coarse cereal rice with proper hardness can be cooked.

Referring to fig. 2, a cooking method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

step S200, determining the types of food materials contained in the cooking pot;

step S201, controlling the cooking pot to enter a steam pretreatment stage under the condition that the food materials are determined to be coarse cereals according to the types of the food materials;

Step S202, determining the pretreatment duration in the first cooking procedure or determining the water consumption and the pretreatment duration in the first cooking procedure in unit time according to the coarse cereal amount of the coarse cereal in the steam pretreatment stage;

here, the cooking parameters set in the first cooking program include a steam temperature range, a water consumption amount per unit time, and a pretreatment duration; step 202 is to determine the water consumption per unit time and the pretreatment duration set in the first cooking process according to the amount of coarse cereals, and the steam temperature range may be a default value.

Step S203, controlling a steam component of a steam spraying component to generate steam according to the water consumption of the unit time so as to guide the steam into a spray head of the steam spraying component through a steam pipeline of the steam spraying component;

here, the vapor spray assembly may include: vapor assembly, vapor line, and showerhead. The steam spraying assembly is used for generating steam for cooking the coarse cereals. Here, the vapor line connects the vapor assembly with the showerhead for directing vapor from the vapor assembly to the showerhead. For example, the steam assembly is activated to generate steam which enters the shower head along the steam pipeline to cook the coarse cereals.

Step S204, preprocessing the coarse cereals by utilizing steam sprayed from the spray header, and continuing the preprocessing time;

step S205, in the water absorption stage after the steam pretreatment stage, determining the water injection amount and the cooking duration in the second cooking program according to the coarse cereal amount;

wherein the steam pretreatment stage is followed by a cooking stage comprising a water absorption stage, a heating stage (which can be considered as a rapid heating stage) and a gelatinization stage (which can be considered as a stage in which coarse cereals are gelatinized by a boiling stage) which are sequentially performed, the cooking temperature ranges comprising a first temperature range, a second temperature range and a third temperature range, and the cooking time periods comprising a first treatment time period and a second treatment time period, respectively;

here, the water absorption stage is used for making the coarse cereals absorb water and expand, which is beneficial to subsequent gelatinization. The heating stage may be used to rapidly warm up water in the cooking pot to boiling. The gelatinization stage is used for maintaining the boiling of water in the cooking pot until the coarse cereals are completely cured.

Here, the upper limit of the first temperature range is smaller than the upper limit of the second temperature range, and the upper limit of the second temperature range is smaller than the upper limit of the third temperature range.

Here, the first treatment period corresponds to a water absorption stage; the second treatment duration corresponds to a gelatinization stage.

Step S206, in the water absorption stage, injecting water meeting a first temperature range and water injection amount into the cooker through the steam spraying assembly, and maintaining a first treatment duration to obtain coarse cereals after water absorption;

in the implementation process, hot water can be injected into the pot, wherein the hot water generally refers to water with a water temperature exceeding the human body temperature, which is generally defaulted to 36-38 ℃. For example, hot water with a temperature of 40 to 70 ℃ is injected into the cooker, and the temperature is maintained for 0 to 15min, so as to obtain the coarse cereals after water absorption.

Here, the water-absorbing stage is an unnecessary cooking stage. In some embodiments, the steam assembly may be controlled to inject hot water of 70 to 100 ℃ into the pan with the water absorption phase skipped.

Step S207, heating the coarse cereals after water absorption to a second temperature range through a heating component in the heating stage;

for example, the water-absorbed coarse cereals are heated to 90 to 100 ℃.

Step S208, in the gelatinization stage, heating the coarse cereals to a third temperature range through the heating component and maintaining the second treatment duration to obtain gelatinized coarse cereals;

For example, the coarse cereal is heated to a temperature of more than 100 ℃ for about 8 to 50 minutes, and the gelatinized coarse cereal is obtained.

Step S209, in the heat preservation stage, maintaining the gelatinized coarse cereals in a fourth temperature range and maintaining the third treatment duration through the steam component;

wherein the cooking phase further comprises a soak phase after the gelatinization phase, the cooking temperature range further comprises a fourth temperature range, and the cooking duration comprises a third processing duration;

here, the third treatment period corresponds to a warm-up period. No heat treatment is performed during the incubation period.

For example, this stage does not perform the heating treatment, and the rice is stewed by waste heat. And in the heat preservation stage, steam is used for supplementing cooking, the steam temperature can be 90-100 ℃, and the water consumption per unit time can be 1-30 g/min, so that the coarse cereals achieve better mouthfeel. The duration of this phase may be 0 to 8 minutes, and cooking ends when the duration reaches 8 minutes.

In the embodiment of the application, firstly, the coarse cereals are pretreated by utilizing steam sprayed from the spray header; then, in the water absorption stage, water meeting a first temperature range and water injection amount is injected into the cooker through the steam spraying assembly, and the first treatment duration is maintained, so that coarse cereals after water absorption are obtained; finally, in the heat preservation stage, the gelatinized coarse cereals are maintained in a fourth temperature range through the steam component and the third treatment duration is maintained. In this way, coarse cereals can be pre-cooked by steam cooking; in addition, the coarse cereals are expanded by water absorption in the water absorption stage, so that the subsequent gelatinization is facilitated; furthermore, the coarse cereals can achieve good taste through heat preservation.

The embodiment of the application provides a cooking method, in which food materials are illustrated by taking coarse cereals as an example, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

step S301, introducing steam into a cooking pot by using a steam component, and cooking coarse cereals in the cooking pot to obtain coarse cereals in a pre-cooked state;

here, the steam assembly may be used to generate steam and cook miscellaneous cereals in a cooking pot with the steam. Here, the vapor assembly is an integral part of a vapor spray assembly. The vapor spray assembly may include a vapor assembly, a vapor line, and a showerhead, wherein the showerhead may be attached with a plurality of spray holes. Here, the steam spraying assembly may be disposed at an upper portion of the cooking pot to spray the food material at an upper portion; or, the steam spraying component can be arranged at the bottom of the cooking pot to spray the food material at the bottom.

Here, use the steam subassembly to leading-in steam in the culinary art pan, cook the cereal in the culinary art pan, include: the steam component is started to generate steam; a vapor line directs the vapor to a showerhead; the spray header utilizes steam to cook coarse cereals in the cooking pot.

Here, the step S301 can complete the steam pre-aging stage of the coarse cereals, and obtain coarse cereals in a pre-cooked state. Here, the pre-matured state refers to a state in which the coarse cereals are subjected to steam spraying for a preset treatment period.

For example, the steam component consumes 20 to 500g/min of water per unit time, generates steam with the temperature ranging from 100 to 160 ℃, and performs the steam cooking on the coarse cereals in the cooking pot for 5 to 30min of preset treatment time.

Step S302, determining the water injection amount of the cooking pot according to the coarse cereal amount;

Here, after the coarse cereal amounts are classified, the coarse cereal amounts of different grades correspond to different water injection amounts. The first grade coarse cereal amount corresponds to a first preset water injection amount; the second-level coarse cereal amount corresponds to a second preset water injection amount; the third-level coarse cereal amount corresponds to a third preset water injection amount.

Here, the amount of the miscellaneous cereals is determined by the amount of miscellaneous cereals set by the user.

Step S303, injecting the hot water with the water injection quantity into a cooking pot by using a steam component, and maintaining the preset time length to obtain coarse cereals after water absorption, wherein the temperature range of the hot water is within a preset temperature range;

here, the preset temperature range may be between 40 and 70 ℃, and the preset time period may be 0 to 15min.

The stage is a water absorption stage, so that the coarse cereals absorb water and expand, and the gelatinization of the coarse cereals is facilitated. This phase is a non-required phase, which can be executed, or skipped. For example, 1) when this stage is performed, the steam assembly is controlled to inject the water injection amount of hot water having a temperature of 40 to 70 ℃ into the cooking pot, and maintain the temperature for 0 to 15 minutes. 2) When this stage is skipped, the steam assembly is controlled to inject the water injection quantity of hot water of 70-100 ℃ into the cooking pot.

Step S304, heating water to boiling by using a heating component to obtain boiled coarse cereals and water;

the stage is a rapid heating stage, which rapidly heats water at the bottom to boiling, and the stage is shifted from temperature to the next stage, and the stage is automatically shifted to the boiling stage when the temperature reaches 90-100 ℃.

Step S305, using a heating component to maintain boiling until water is burnt to dry, so as to obtain gelatinized coarse cereals;

this stage is the boiling stage, where the temperature transitions to the holding stage. For example, when the bottom temperature of the cooking pot is higher than 100 ℃, the cooking pot automatically transits to a heat preservation stage, and the duration of the stage is about 8 to 50 minutes.

In step S306, the steam assembly is used for additional cooking.

The stage is a heat preservation stage, heating treatment is not performed by using a heating component, and the coarse cereals are stewed by using the waste heat of the boiling stage, so that the coarse cereals have good taste. Here, this stage may be controlled by setting the incubation period, and when the set incubation period is reached, cooking ends. For example, the holding time is set to 0 to 8min, and when the holding time is reached, the cooking is finished.

Here, steam make-up may be performed simultaneously at this stage. For example, steam having a temperature of 90 to 100℃and a flow rate of 1 to 30g/min is used for the additional cooking.

Here, it should be noted that steps S301 to S306 are two stages of cooking coarse cereals, wherein step S301 is a steam pre-curing stage, and steps S302 to S306 are quick cooking stages.

Example 1 when upper spraying is employed, a cooking pot is employed as shown in fig. 4A, the cooking pot comprising: a vapor assembly 401, a vapor line 402, a showerhead 403 (with built-in spray holes 4031), a water tank 404, a cooking chamber 405, and a heating assembly 406. Here, the vapor assembly 401, the vapor pipe 402, the shower head 403 (with built-in shower holes 4031), and the water tank 404 constitute a vapor shower assembly, which belongs to the same cavity of the same cooking pot or different cavities with the cooking cavity 405.

When upper spraying is used, the cooking method is as follows: 1) In the steam pre-curing stage: the steam temperature range in the cooking pot is 110 ℃, the water consumption per unit time is 200g/min, and the pretreatment time is 10min. 2) Stage of fast cooking: the coarse cereal rice is cooked, so that the coarse cereal rice is completely cured and softened. (1) a water absorption stage: skipping this stage, controlling the steam assembly to inject hot water at 90 ℃ into the cooking pot; (2) a rapid temperature rise stage: the water at the bottom is quickly heated to boiling in the stage, the temperature is shifted to the next stage, and the transition is automatically carried out when the temperature reaches 90-100 ℃; (3) boiling stage: this stage keeps the water boiling in the cooking pot until the water is dry, and the stage transitions from temperature to the next stage (the stage transitions to the next stage automatically when the temperature of the bottom of the cooking pot is greater than 100 ℃), and the period of time is about 30 minutes.

For example 2, when bottom shower is used, a cooking pot is used as shown in fig. 4B, the cooking pot comprising: a water tank 410, a showerhead 420, a vapor line 430, a vapor assembly 440, a cooking chamber 450, and a heating assembly 460. Here, the water tank 410, the shower head 420, the vapor pipe 430, and the vapor assembly 440 form a vapor spray assembly, which belongs to the same cavity of the same cooking pot or different cavities of the same cooking pot as the cooking cavity 450.

When bottom spraying is adopted, the cooking method is as follows: 1) In the steam pre-curing stage: the steam temperature range in the cooking pot is 110 ℃, the water consumption per unit time is 200g/min, and the pretreatment time is 10min. 2) Stage of fast cooking: the coarse cereal rice is cooked, so that the coarse cereal rice is completely cured and softened. (1) a water absorption stage: skipping this stage, controlling the steam assembly to inject hot water at 90 ℃ into the cooking pot; (2) a rapid temperature rise stage: the water at the bottom is quickly heated to boiling in the stage, the temperature is shifted to the next stage, and the transition is automatically carried out when the temperature reaches 90-100 ℃; (3) boiling stage: this stage keeps the water boiling in the cooking pot until the water is dry, and the stage transitions from temperature to the next stage (the stage transitions to the next stage automatically when the temperature of the bottom of the cooking pot is greater than 100 ℃), and the period of time is about 30 minutes.

Example 3 when ordinary cooking is used, (1) water absorption phase: adding water, heating to 60 ℃, and controlling the temperature for 10min; (2) a rapid temperature rise stage: the water at the bottom is quickly heated to boiling in the stage, the temperature is shifted to the next stage, and the transition is automatically carried out when the temperature reaches 90-100 ℃; (3) boiling stage: this stage keeps the water boiling in the cooking pot until the water is dry, and the stage transitions from temperature to the next stage (the stage transitions to the next stage automatically when the temperature of the bottom of the cooking pot is greater than 100 ℃), and the period of time is about 50 minutes.

According to the embodiment of the application, steam is led into the cooking pot by using the steam component, coarse cereals in the cooking pot are cooked, and coarse cereals in a pre-cooked state are obtained. Therefore, the high temperature can quickly penetrate the coarse cereals, so that the coarse cereal starch crystal structure is cracked, the starch gelatinization temperature is reduced, the coarse cereals are easier to gelatinize, become ripe and become powder in the subsequent cooking process, and the coarse cereals are further pre-cured.
