The heating information corresponding to the code. The control unit 22 performs heat cooking based on the heating information changed by the heating information changing unit 26 .

In the heating information change table 33, appropriate heating information corresponding to a combination of a plurality of information codes is registered in advance. For example, when the two foods are rice balls, appropriate heating information (500W, 1 minute and 20 seconds) is registered. Compared with the heating information (500W, 1 minute) in the case of one rice ball, the heating time becomes longer.

Moreover, when two kinds of foods are different, for example, in the case of a combination of a rice ball and a bento, appropriate heating information (500 W, 2 minutes and 20 seconds) is registered in the heating information change table 33 . Compared with the heating information (500W, 2 minutes) in the case of one bento, the heating time becomes longer. In this way, the heating information is changed to the heating information which is different from any one of the foods of different types (information codes).

In this way, the heating information changing table 33 is pre-registered with appropriate heating information according to the combination of the plurality of foods, and the heating information changing unit 26 searches the heating information changing table 33 according to the combination of the plurality of foods, so that appropriate heating can be obtained. News. In addition, although the case where the kind of food is 1 or 2 has been described, heating information corresponding to a combination of three or more types of food may be registered in the heating information change table 33 .

Also, the control unit 22 may receive heating information corresponding to a combination of a plurality of foods from the server 31 using the Internet, and store it in the heating information change table 33, and the heating information change unit 26 may acquire heating information using the information.

In addition, a plurality of programs corresponding to a combination of a plurality of foods may be stored in the memory 32, and the control unit 22 may acquire and execute the command codes of the programs corresponding to a combination of a plurality of foods, thereby obtaining appropriate heating information. Heat cooking of food.

By this operation, the reading device 16 reads the information code given to the rice ball and the bento. When the reading of the information code by the reading device 16 is successful, the control unit 22 notifies the user of the reading result through the reading result notification unit 24 . The operation of the reading result notification unit 24 in this case is, for example, an operation of issuing a continuous sound such as "beep-", an operation of issuing a sound of "the reading of the information code has been successful", or both.

At this time, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that a plurality of information codes are read, such as rice balls and bento boxes. In this case, the reading result is notified every time a plurality of information codes are read.

When the user knows through the reading result notification unit 24 that the reading of the plurality of information codes is successful, the user arranges the rice balls and lunch boxes in the heating chamber 13 , closes the front door 12 , and presses the start button of the operation panel 11 .

On the other hand, when the reading of the information code by the reading device 16 fails, the control unit 22 notifies the user of the reading result through the reading result notification unit 24 .
