(Example 1) When "tofu hamburger" is cooked, ingredients are arranged and prepared according to the attached cookbook. The prepared object to be heated is placed in the heating room, and “tofu hamburger” is selected by the recipe selection key 2. Control unit 1
2 is set in advance with an optimal heating method and heating time by the upper heater 9 and the lower heater 10. When the control unit 12 decodes the input signal of the start key 6, the heating by the heater is performed via the relay control unit 13. The heating is started, and after the heating for the optimum time, the heating is finished.

(Embodiment 2) "Rice steamed chicken" is a recipe heated by high frequency, and a heating method and a heating time by an optimum output of high frequency are set in advance. When "chicken roll steaming" is selected and the start key 6 is input, the control unit 12 decodes the input signal and the relay control unit 13
The power supply to the high-frequency generator 11 is started via the, and the heating is performed for the optimum time by the set high-frequency output.

(Embodiment 3) When the recipe "Simmered in small aji" is selected from another healthy menu, the key 8 with a lot of calcium, combined heating by both high frequency and heater is performed. When the start key 6 is input and the signal is decoded by the control unit 12, power is started to the high-frequency generator 11 and the upper and lower heaters 9 and 10 via the relay control unit 13, and a combination by a preset optimal heating method is set. Heating is performed for an optimal time.

In this manner, the user selects the health menu key 1 and
A desired one is selected from recipe names appearing on the display unit 3, and ingredients are prepared and prepared according to the attached cookbook. When a corresponding recipe name is selected by the recipe selection key 2 and the start key 6 is input, heating is automatically performed for an optimal heating time by an optimal heating method set in advance, and heating cooking can be performed without failure. .

In the above embodiment, the menu keys related to health are collectively named "health menu key". However, the present invention is not limited to this name. For example, "healthy menu key", "diet menu key" Of course, names such as "" and "genki menu key" may be used.
