It has become.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the word "beware of high temperature" is written in letters, but the letter does not necessarily have to be used. A figure or the like may be used as long as it can be used, or an LED or the like may simply be turned on and off.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, as an example, the left switch-on key 311L, the left UP key 312L, the left DOWN key 313L, and the left function key 314L of the left operation unit 301L have been described as being surrounded by frame lines. The key does not have to be surrounded by a frame, but it is sufficient if the existence of the key can be clearly identified even if it is not surrounded by a frame.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the upper surface display section and the upper surface operation section of another example of the heating cooker according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In this example, each key of the left operation unit 301L is not surrounded by a frame line, but a border display is provided between adjacent keys. A key boundary display 331 between the key 313L and the left function key 314L has a longer line than a boundary display 332 between the left UP key 312L and the left DOWN key 313L.

In this way, the key boundary display 332 between keys having similar meanings as key functions is made less conspicuous than the boundary display 331, and the key boundary display 331 between keys having different meanings as key functions is made less conspicuous. By making the display more conspicuous than the boundary display 332, it is easy for the user to understand.

In the key function display area 221, related key functions are displayed in the same manner as in the example described above, and input contents can be canceled by operating the left function key 314L when "Cancel" is displayed. Similarly, when the left turn-on key 311L is operated while "start" is displayed, heating is started under the input heating conditions. A boundary display 231 is displayed at a position overlapping with a boundary display 331 in the key function display area 221 in the same straight line to clarify the relationship between the key function display and related keys, making it easier for the user to understand. Although not shown, the right operation section 301R and the right display section 201R and the central operation section 301C and the central display section 201C have the same relationship.

Unlike the example shown in FIG. 6, the other example shown in FIG. 7 does not have a dedicated display section for calling the user's attention to the fact that it is in a high temperature state. However, in consideration of safety, it is necessary to alert the user that it is in a high temperature state. Therefore, instead of the dedicated display section for "high temperature warning", the right display section 201R or the central display section 201C is used. The user may be alerted by displaying "Warning of high temperature".

FIG. 8 is a transition diagram of the display state of the upper surface display section corresponding to the operation of the upper operation section of the heating cooker according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

It has become.

In other words, a key for which no display corresponding to the key is displayed is a key that is in a state where the operation is invalid and the input is not accepted. In the state of the initial screen shown in FIG. (see FIG. 6) and the left function key 314L (see FIG. 6) are not displayed, so the operation of the left in/out key 311L (see FIG. 6) and the left function key 314L (see FIG. 6) is invalid. do not accept Therefore, even if the left turn-on key 311L (see FIG. 6) or the left function key 314L (see FIG. 6) is operated at this time, the input is not accepted and the display does not change.

The reference mode is displayed in the center of the heating state display area 220 when the display on the left display section 201L switches from the initial screen shown in FIG. 8B to the mode selection screen shown in FIG. 8C. Here, the modes of mode selection refer to cooking items such as “heating” and “deep-fried food” and items of “setting” of the heating cooker 100 . Here, "heating" is displayed as an example.

Embodiment 6
Embodiment 6 differs from Embodiment 1 in that a dedicated pan is used when performing "cooperation" cooking. Since the configuration of the heating cooker 100 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the points different from the first embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 21, and the other explanation will be omitted. FIG. 21 is a transition diagram of an example of the display on the upper display unit when cooperative cooking is performed by the heating cooker according to Embodiment 6 of the present invention.

"Coordinated" cooking is performed in a dedicated pan (not shown), and the right IH (left heating unit 140B), left IH (left heating unit 140A), and central IH (central heating unit 140C) are not shown. A pan sensing means is provided. The pot detection means detects the material and size of the pot, for example, based on the flowing current, thereby detecting whether or not the pot is a dedicated pot that can be used for "coordinated" cooking.

Here, for example, when heating is performed using the IH coil of the left heating unit 140A, the left operation unit 301L (see FIG. 6) of the upper surface operation unit 300 is operated to perform the operation and setting when performing the “cooperation” mode.

On the menu selection screen, the menu can be selected by operating the left UP key 312L (see FIG. 6) or the left DOWN key 313L (see FIG. 6) for input. The menu being selected is displayed in the center of the left display portion 201L.

The selected menu is displayed in white letters on a black background in the center of the heating state display area 220 . "Hamburger" is selected here. Selectable menus are displayed on both sides of the selected menu displayed in the center. Here, for example, "gratin" is displayed on the right side, and "paella" is displayed on the left side.

"Gratin" and "paella" are displayed in black characters on a white background, and this black character display on a white background is the normal display format, while the "hamburger" selected and displayed in the center is displayed in black. It is displayed in white characters, that is, the display state is reversed with respect to the normal display mode, and the display emphasizes that it is the selected menu.

In addition, compared to the selectable menus displayed on both sides, the characters of the selected menu are displayed larger, and together with the inverted display, the selected menu is emphasized.

Alternately with the display of the selected menu "Hamburger", a display prompting the user to use the exclusive pan, such as "Please use the exclusive pan", is displayed in the center of the heating state display area 220. Call attention.

After the start of heating, when the pan detection means (not shown) detects that a dedicated pan that can be used for "coordinated" cooking is being used, the heating is continued, and the dedicated pan is set as shown in FIG. 21(e). After preheating to a temperature of "180° C.", when the preheating is completed, the hamburger is placed in the dedicated pan and the left turn-on key 311L (see FIG. 6) is pressed to start cooking the "hamburger".

After the start of heating, when it is detected by the pan detection means (not shown) that the dedicated pan that can be used for "coordinated" cooking is not in use, as shown in FIG. A display such as ""cooperation" cooking will be stopped" is displayed to inform the user why the cooking has been stopped and to stop heating. It is desirable that the contents of the display be a display that is easy for the user to understand, such as "Since it is not a dedicated pan, 'cooperation' cooking has been canceled."
As described above, by using a dedicated pot (frying pan, cooking container, etc.) for "coordinated" cooking, it is possible to accurately adjust the temperature of the food to be cooked, and stable cooking can be performed. .
