When automatic cooking is performed by the grill 2, the user first presses the power switch 11 (see FIG. 1) from the state in which the power of the cooking cooker 1 is OFF. Here, the relationship between the operation of the power switch 11 and the supply of power to the heating control unit 30 will be described based on the self-holding circuit shown in FIG. The switch S1 is composed of a tact switch, and the switch S1 is turned on only while the user is pressing the power switch 11 (hereinafter referred to as "power on operation"), and the switch S1 is turned off when the pressing operation is stopped. .. Further, in the power supply unit 8, the battery 80 is connected to the battery connection unit 81 of the self-holding circuit, so that power can be supplied to the circuit. The cooking cooker 1 includes a battery storage case (not shown), and the battery 80 is housed in the battery storage case. The battery accommodating case has terminals as battery connecting portions 81 connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the accommodating battery 80, respectively.

The cathode of the diode D1 is connected to the power supply terminal Vd of the heating control unit 30, the GND terminal of the heating control unit 30 is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply unit 8, and the emitter-collector and diode of the transistor TR1 are connected from the positive electrode of the power supply unit 8.

Further, the heating control unit 30 includes two input terminals, a terminal V1 and a terminal V2, and an output terminal Vcont.

When the base current flows through the transistor TR2 and the transistor TR2 turns on and the collector current of the transistor TR2 flows by the power-on operation, the base current flows through the transistor TR1 and the transistor TR1 turns on to supply power to the heating control unit 30. Once power is supplied to the heating control unit 30, the heating control unit 30 outputs a High signal from the output terminal Vcont and supplies a base current to the transistor TR4. When the pressing operation of the power switch 11 is stopped when the power-on operation is completed, the switch S1 is turned off and the base current does not flow to the transistor TR2 and the transistor TR2 is turned off. However, the transistor TR4 is turned off by supplying the base current to the transistor TR4. Since the collector current of the transistor TR4 is turned on and the base current of the transistor TR1 is supplied, the collector current of the transistor TR1 continues to flow, so that the power supply to the heating control unit 30 is continued.

The transistor TR3 is a transistor for detecting a pressing operation of the power switch 11 in a power supply state to the heating control unit 30. When the power switch 11 is pushed while the power is supplied to the heating control unit 30, the switch S1 is turned on, the base current is supplied to the transistor TR3, the transistor TR3 is turned on, and the transistor TR3 is turned on, so that the heating control unit is turned on. The applied voltage to the terminal V1 of 30 changes from High to Low. When the pressing operation of the power switch 11 is completed, the switch S1 is turned off, the base current of the transistor TR3 is cut off, and the transistor TR3 is turned off, so that the applied voltage to the terminal V1 of the heating control unit 30 is changed from Low to High. Changes to.

When the power switch 11 on the front surface is pressed (hereinafter referred to as "power off operation") while the cooking cooker 1 is in use, the applied voltage to the terminal V1 falls (referred to as "power off operation") while the heating control unit 30 is energized. (Change from High to Low) is detected, and since the switch S1 is turned on while the power is on, it is determined that the operation to turn off the power has been performed, and the power off process is executed.

The user turns on the power of the cooking cooker 1 by turning on the power. When the power of the cooking cooker 1 is turned on, the power is kept on even if the user finishes the power-on operation.

When the power of the cooking cooker 1 is turned on, the user presses the "TOP screen" button 41 to display the TOP screen shown in FIG. After that, as described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10, the cooking mode is set and the cooking mode is executed.

If the power ON state of the cooking cooker 1 is maintained even after the cooking mode ends, the information (usage history) of the executed cooking mode is the RAM (Random Access Memory) of the heating control unit 30 or It is stored in the cache memory as a usage history. In this state, if "Select from Rireki" is tentatively selected on the screen shown in FIG. 5, the usage history stored in the RAM or cache memory is displayed as an option, and by tentatively selecting and deciding this, it is again Similar cooking modes can be performed.

However, when the power of the cooking cooker 1 is turned off after the cooking mode is finished, the usage history stored in the RAM or the cache memory is volatilized and erased. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the power off operation is performed to stop the power supply to the heating control unit 30 after the cooking mode is completed, the heating control unit 30 stops the power supply to the heating control unit 30. Before, the storage unit 61 stores the usage history. The usage history includes information on the cooking menu in the cooking mode and information on the amount of heating.

In the present embodiment, the usage history further includes information when the usage history is stored. For example, in the above example, the usage history is stored when "bake" in the "cooking mode" using "plate pan" as the cooking menu, "medium" as the heating amount, "10 minutes" as the cooking time, and stored (for example). May 13, 2019 18:17:16, etc.) Includes each information. When "auto menu" is selected instead of "cooking mode" on the screen shown in FIG. 6, the usage history is as follows: cooking menu: "bake" of "auto menu" using "plate pan", heating amount: "Medium", includes information when stored, but does not include cooking time information. As the information of the executed cooking mode, only the cooking menu such as "baking" may be stored as the usage history.

In addition, the storage unit 61 can store a predetermined number of usage histories. When a new usage history is stored in the storage unit 61 in a state where a predetermined number of usage histories are stored, the oldest usage history is deleted. In the present embodiment, the maximum number of usage histories that can be stored in the storage unit 61 is eight, but the predetermined number (maximum number) that can be stored is not particularly limited.
