Abstract

DC60 (09/09/46) Rice Cookers including pot for putting things inside. Bottom heater for Pot contents heating, and pot sensor for detecting object temperature through the pot to control the bottom heater. Also include the following units Tasks with buttons for Start at least one of the making Cooking work for rice And for making cakes, and the controller that controls the butt heater. Cake making has been prepared. With the first set temperature and the second predetermined temperature, when the item reaches the set temperature, bottom heating is stopped to allow The object temperature rises with the remaining heat until the second preset temperature is detected. The rice cooker that has been formatted above can be switched for the rice cooking function. And the cake can be made by simply pressing a button. In addition, the rise of the bottom heating is prevented, so it makes cake making convenient without excessive scorching on the bottom layer of the cake. And water drying can be prevented.

Claims (8)

OCR 08PV 1. A rice cooker consists of an inner pot for holding ingredients, a heating element for heating the ingredients inside, a pot sensor for detecting the temperature of the ingredients, a control unit for initiating the cooking process, and a controller for managing the heating element to regulate the cooking process. This controller is specifically designed for various cooking methods, including cooking rice and cakes. The controller immediately stops the heating element when the pot sensor detects a preset temperature, allowing the ingredients to continue heating until the sensor detects a second preset temperature (for cake cooking). 2. The rice cooker of claim 1, which is further comprised of a lid for closing the top opening of the pot, a lid heating element within the lid, and a lid sensor within the lid for detecting the temperature of the contents of the pot, where, in the operation of cooking a cake, the controller controls the heating of the individual heating elements based on the temperature detected by the pot sensor and a second set temperature, and controls the lid heating element based on the temperature detected by the lid sensor and a third set temperature. 3. The rice cooker of claim 1, which is further comprised of a lid for closing the top opening of the pot, a lid heater used in the lid assembly, where, in the operation of cooking cakes, the controller regulates the heating of the bottom heater based on the temperature detected by the pot sensor and a second set temperature, and controls the lid heater for the set heating time. 4. The rice cooker of claim 1 is further comprised of a timer for counting the time from when the pot sensor detects a first set temperature until the pot sensor detects a second set temperature, and a detection unit for detecting the quantity of items in the pot based on the time counted by the timer, whereby the controller regulates the power output of the bottom heater and lid heater based on the quantity of items detected by the detection unit. 5. The cooking process for baking a cake using a rice cooker consists of two steps: selecting one cooking mode for rice and one for cake. In the cake cooking mode, (A) heat the contents of the rice cooker pot from the bottom until it reaches a first set temperature, and (B) immediately stop heating when the contents reach the first set temperature, allowing the contents to rise further using residual heat until they reach a second set temperature. 6. The cooking process of claim 5, which still consists of, in the cooking of the cake, with steps (C) heating the item from the bottom to the second specified temperature and heating the item from the top to the third specified temperature. 7. The cooking process of claim 5, which also includes, in the cooking of the cake, is performed in step (D) heating the bottom of the item to a second set temperature and heating the top of the item for a predetermined time. 8. The cooking process of claim 5 consists of, in step B, the elapsed time from when the first set temperature is detected until the second set temperature is detected; the quantification of the item based on the time taken; and the adjustment of heat from the beginning to the end based on the detected quantity of the item.
