Abstract

PURPOSE:To attempt to adapt to the difference in individual tastes for the results of cooking by providing an evaluation input key and memory section and determining cooking time based on cooking time data and inputted evaluation data for each cooking by a control section. CONSTITUTION:When a cooking utensil is used for the first time, the time of cooking is made to be the same as value T1 in the past. If the results of the first cooking is under (-), for example, a user presses down an evaluation input key 7b and the evaluation data is inputted into memory 5. Next, in the cooking of second time a controls section 3, of course, makes the cooking time at T2>T1 for the second time based on the evaluation input data. If the results of evaluation of cooking of the second time is, for instance, over (+), the user presses down an evaluation input key 7a and inputs the data of evaluation. Next, the control section 3 gives cooking time T3 for the third time based on the cooking time of the second time and evaluation data. Until the user presses down OK (pressing down 7c key), the control section 3 continues to seek the most suitable cooking time, and after the time when cooking time is considered most suitable, the control section 3 determines the cooking time at T4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heating cooking device such as an automatic toaster oven in which the cooking time is determined by the device.

BACKGROUND ART As shown in FIG. 3, in a heating cooking device such as a so-called automatic toaster oven in which the cooking time is determined by the device, the user selects a menu (for example, toast) by pressing the menu selection key 1 and the start of cooking. Start key that gives instructions 2.
A control unit 3 receives signals from the menu selection key 1 and the start key 2 and controls the cooking device. It consists of a heating section 4 that is controlled by a control section 3 and performs heating for cooking.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention However, when such a heating cooking device is used, the cooking time is determined by the device for the convenience of the user (for example, 200 seconds for toast), so the cooking result can be determined by the user. There was a problem in that it did not adequately respond to individual differences in tastes, such as some users' overcooking and others' undercooking.

The present invention solves these conventional problems and provides a heating cooking device that has a simple configuration and is compatible with individual differences in cooking results.

Means for Solving the Problems The heating cooking device of the present invention is provided with an evaluation input key and a memory section, and has a control section that determines the cooking time based on the cooking time data of each cooking and the input evaluation data. This is what I did.

Function: Since the heating cooking device of the present invention inputs the user's evaluation of the cooking results, the device will be able to obtain cooking results that perfectly match the user's preferences after several uses.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a heating cooking apparatus according to an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the same parts as in the conventional example are given the same numbers and the explanation will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, 5 is connected to the control unit 3 and stores data on cooking time for each use, data input to the control unit 3, and data as a result of data processing by the control unit 3. This is the memory section for The memory section 5 is backed up by a separate power source 6 such as a battery, and is configured to retain data even if the plug (not shown) of the heating cooking device (not shown) is pulled out. is desirable. 7a
, 7b, and 7c are evaluation input keys, and the control unit 3
and inputs evaluation data to the control section 3. For example, when the menu is toast, 7a is used when the cooking result is overcooked (over: +). 7
b is used when the firing is insufficient (underknee). 7c is used when there is no problem (OK). 8 is a reset key that clears all past evaluation input data, and is used to return the cooking device to its initial state.

To explain the actual use using Figure 2,
For the first use, the cooking time is set to the same value T1 as before. If the first cooking result is, for example, under (=), the user presses the evaluation input key 7b to input evaluation data. .

Next, the second time, the control unit 3
Of course, the cooking time T, >T, is set for the second cooking time. If the second cooking result is, for example, over (+), the user presses the evaluation input key 7a to input the evaluation data.Next, the control unit 3 inputs the first and second cooking times and evaluation data. The third cooking time T is determined based on the following. In the present example, T I < T s < T s.

In the above-described procedure, the control unit 3 continues to find the optimal cooking time until the user inputs OK (presses the 7c key). After the 7c key is pressed, the control unit 3 sets the cooking time to the optimum cooking time, since the cooking time at that time is considered to be optimal. In the present example, T4 is the optimal cooking time.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the heating cooking device of the present invention is provided with a key for inputting the evaluation of cooking results and a memory section for storing past cooking times and evaluation data, so that the control section can calculate the optimum cooking time. The use of a continuous birch is of great practical advantage, as cooking results completely tailored to the particular user's tastes can be obtained after several uses.
