DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In recent years, home cooking appliances have tended to have a timer function or a sensor function, aiming at automation, and are becoming very convenient in terms of usability. A recent example is an attempt to automate cooking by detecting humidity using a humidity sensor.

However, in this case, there is the inconvenience of covering the food (food) with saran wrap or the like. This inconvenience can be eliminated by detecting temperature using the infrared sensor shown in this embodiment. However, in this case as well, only the surface temperature of the food can be detected, and the heating control method for cooking, which involves how to bring the temperature inside the food closer to the temperature at the surface, becomes a problem.

Additionally, in the past, most of the decompression was done manually by humans.
The only options were to rely on human intuition or to use a timer or the like based on experience.

If you think about the meaning of thawing here, it means melting the ice crystals in food to reduce or eliminate the freezing rate.

Furthermore, when a cooking appliance is equipped with the function of defrosting, the purpose is to defrost food in the above sense, regardless of quantity or quality. Also, it may be possible to thaw it in a microwave oven for a long time at low power, but
The goal is to shorten this time as much as possible. There are also devices that insert a temperature probe into the food to detect the temperature and then thaw the food, but it would be most ideal to do it without contact due to the labor involved and the emotional aspects of humans.

The purpose is to

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the cooking (thawing) sequence of the present invention. When defrosting food in a microwave oven, etc., there are various methods, such as using low power for a long time or allowing a lot of standing time, but most people defrost food by relying on experience. In other words, if the food is about to boil, the heating must be stopped, and if there are any frozen parts, the food must be rotated, which is very difficult.

In addition, in order to thaw 5 pounds of meat, it was necessary to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or two, so there was a kind of natural thawing process. However, the limit temperature T 1 at which food cannot be boiled is the upper limit (e.g. 15
℃), and if you use some kind of heating-pause sequence below that temperature, you can thaw the food without boiling it.

First, as the first step, a relatively strong heating output that does not allow part of the food to reach the upper limit temperature T 1 is used.
Heating is performed at P 1 and then the heating is stopped for the time t 1 required. The purpose of this is to transfer the temperature near the surface of the food to the inside of the food. Next, as the surface temperature decreases due to internal transfer of temperature near the surface of the food, the second step is again to increase the temperature at the upper limit.
Heating output P 2 that does not allow part of the food to boil up to T 1
to raise the surface temperature to T 1 . Next, heating is stopped for the time t2 required in the same manner as described above, and the temperature near the surface of the food is transferred to the inside of the food. This is repeated one after another, for example, the
-1) At step K, raise the surface temperature of the food to T1 , pause heating for the time tk -1 required to achieve this, and set an appropriate threshold at which the surface temperature of the food is just before moving to step K. temperature (e.g.
T 1 = 15℃, T 2 = 13℃) or higher, it is determined that the internal transfer of temperature near the surface of the food has decreased (in other words, the internal temperature of the food has increased), and thawing (cooking) is considered complete. .

If this method is used, it is possible to enter the defrosting sequence even if T 1 = T 2 = 15°C, which is possible by detecting the food temperature at one point. Further, the heating time t1 of the first step includes various information (quantity, shape, quality of food), and is considered to be the end of cooking. Even when the threshold temperature T 2 is reached, if the standing time T S is then set to the above-mentioned t 1 , even more uniform thawing can be achieved.

According to the heating control method of the present invention, since the cooking (thawing) sequence as described above is provided, the temperature T 1
By appropriately selecting , the upper temperature limit for heating is determined, so that food can be thawed without boiling, regardless of the amount or quality of the food. Furthermore, since heating and resting are done for the same amount of time, the temperature near the surface of the food shifts internally, allowing for good thawing. Furthermore, by adding the threshold temperature T2 to the above cooking sequence, thawing can be automatically terminated.
Furthermore, temperature detection can be changed from two points to one point detection by setting T 1 =T 2 . Also, if you allow an appropriate standing time T S at the end of heating,
More uniform thawing is possible.
