Cooking can be selected.

  Moreover, the kind of cooking which can perform automatic cooking can be increased by using this kind of liquid crystal display board. In addition, by displaying an image using a liquid crystal display panel, it is possible to visually confirm the cooking menu, so that the type of cooking can be accurately grasped and it is easy to use.

  By the way, in this type of gas stove with a grill, as a dedicated cooking container, a rice cooking pot, a Dutch oven, a shallow cocotte, a deep cocotte, a pizza plate, a toast plate, etc. are prepared as optional items. And by adding cooking using these separately sold cooking containers to the cooking menu and switching the display on the liquid crystal display panel, the types of cooking that can be performed automatically are greatly increased. It becomes possible. In this case, as the cooking menu, the cooking name, the name of the cooking container to be used, and the image image are displayed on the liquid crystal display board, so that the user can check the cooking container used for cooking only by looking at the liquid crystal display board. It becomes possible.
