According to such a configuration, when it is desired to modify the heating finish of the food as desired, the heating control information stored in the storage unit is corrected by the correction unit by a manual operation. Thereby, since the heating is performed by the control unit based on the corrected heating control information, the food can be corrected to a desired heating finish.

Further, an additional registration means for additionally registering the common product code corresponding numerical value and the heating control information in the storage means in response to a manual operation may be provided. According to such a configuration, when the numerical value corresponding to the common product code of the food to be cooked is not stored, the numerical value corresponding to the common product code and the heating control information are newly registered by the additional registration unit in the storage unit. . Thus, the newly registered food can be immediately cooked by inputting the numerical value corresponding to the additionally registered common product code from the numerical value input means.

Each time the control means executes heating cooking based on the heating control information corresponding to the common commodity code corresponding numerical value inputted from the numerical value input means, the use order of the common commodity code corresponding numerical value is updated and stored. After the use order storage means is provided, the display means displays a common product code corresponding numerical value according to the use order stored in the use order storage means, and the control means displays the common product code corresponding numerical value displayed on the display means. When the numerical value corresponding to the product code is selected, the cooking may be executed based on the heating control information stored in the storage means in accordance with the numerical value corresponding to the common product code (claim 7).

According to such a configuration, when the numerical value corresponding to the common commodity code is input by the numerical value input means, the use order storage means updates and stores the use order of the common commodity code corresponding numerical value. That is, the currently input numerical value corresponding to the common product code is the higher use order.

The display means displays the numerical value corresponding to the common product code in accordance with the use order stored in the use order storage means. That is, since the numerical value corresponding to the common product code of the food cooked last is displayed at the top, the numerical value corresponding to the common food code of the favorite food can be quickly selected and cooked.

The storage means is provided so as to store a product name corresponding to a common product code corresponding numerical value, and the display means is adapted to store a common product code corresponding numerical value and the common product code corresponding numerical value. A display may be made in association with the product name stored in the storage means (claim 8).

According to such a configuration, the numerical value corresponding to the common product code and the food name are displayed in association with each other on the display means, so that the numerical value corresponding to the common product code can be reliably selected.

The user operates the automatic cooking key 18 to perform JAN.
When you have finished inputting the corresponding code,
The key 15 is operated again.

When the "bar code" key 15 is operated again, the control section 19 terminates the JAN code input mode,
The numerical value input during the JAN code input mode is set as the numerical value corresponding to the JAN code, and it is searched whether the numerical value corresponding to the JAN code is stored in the storage device 22. As a result of this search, if the input JAN code corresponding numerical value is stored in the storage device 22, the food name and the heating control information corresponding to the JAN code corresponding numerical value are displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9.

Accordingly, the liquid crystal display section 9 displays the food name and the heating control information stored in the storage device 22 corresponding to the JAN code corresponding numerical value indicating the beef croquette of Company A as shown in FIG. You.

When it is confirmed that the food name displayed on the liquid crystal display section 9 is correct as described above, the "start" key 10 is operated. When the “start” key 10 is operated, the control unit 19 executes heating cooking based on the heating control information displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9. In other words, the frozen beef croquette is thawed by repeatedly executing the above-described range heating mode until 2 minutes have elapsed, and then the beef croquette is repeatedly executed by executing the heater 1 heating mode repeatedly until 5 minutes and 30 seconds have elapsed. The whole is heated, and then the beef croquette is browned by repeatedly executing the heater 2 heating mode until 5 minutes and 30 seconds have elapsed. As described above, the frozen beef croquette can be appropriately cooked by inputting the numerical value corresponding to the JAN code.

When the JAN code-corresponding numerical value is not stored in the storage device 22 at the time of searching for the JAN-corresponding numerical value, the control unit 19 regards the new data as being added, and enters the additional registration mode. Transition. In this additional registration mode, as shown in FIG. 12, "Tsui menu N" (N indicates an additional number) is displayed as a food name, and a heating time display section 9b is provided to prompt the user to input the heating time of each heating time. The blinking cursor is displayed at the head position of. The automatic cooking key is made to function as a numeric keypad.

Here, the user inputs and sets the execution time of each heating mode by operating the automatic cooking key 18 based on his / her own experience. That is, an appropriate three-digit numerical value is input and set as the range heating mode time, an appropriate three-digit numerical value is set as the heater 1 heating mode, and an appropriate three-digit numerical value is set as the heater 2 heating mode.

When the user who has completed the input setting of the execution time of all the heating modes as described above operates the “bar code” key 15, the control unit 19 operates when the “bar code” key 15 is operated. Ends the additional registration mode, and stores the newly input heating control information in the storage device 22.
That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the new numerical value corresponding to the JAN code and the heating control information input from the input device 20 are stored in the storage device 22 by the control unit 19.

Then, when the user operates the "start" key 10, the control unit 19 executes the heating cooking based on the newly registered heating control information. Therefore, when the newly registered numerical value corresponding to the JAN code is input, the newly registered heating control information is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9, so that the cooking can be immediately executed.

By the way, the heating control information newly registered as described above is appropriately set based on the experience of the user, so that the cooked food may have an unsatisfactory heating finish. In addition, even if it is heating control information of a typical commercial food set in advance in the storage device 22,
It may differ from your favorite heating finish. In such a case, the desired heating finish can be corrected by correcting the heating control information as follows.

That is, the user who wants to correct the heating finish can also move the cursor such as the "butter roll" key 18 or the "cream puff" key 18 of the automatic cooking key 18 while the data is displayed on the liquid crystal display section 9. Operate keys.

When the cursor movement key is operated while the data is being displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9, the control unit 19 determines that the data is to be corrected and shifts to the correction mode. In this correction mode, the cursor is moved to the head position of the heating time display section 9b so as to blink, and the automatic cooking key 1 is displayed.
