[0062] Fig. 10 shows an enlarged schematic representation of an important part including a water supply tank of a heating cooker in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the invention. The heating cooker in accordance with the fifth embodiment has the same configurations as the heating cooker in accordance with the first embodiment has, except for the water supply tank and a tank cover, and thus Figs. 1 through 3 will be reused therefor.
[0063] The water supply tank 426 is detachably attached into the tank cover 443 provided on underside of the front face of the main casing 1 (see Fig. 1). The water supply tank 426 includes a water supply tank body 441 that is shaped like a box with an opening on a top side, a lid 450 that covers the opening of the water supply tank body 441, and a communication pipe 442. One end part of the communication pipe 442 is placed in the water supply tank body 441 and the other end part of the communication pipe 442 is placed out of the water supply tank 426 and on the rear face side thereof.
[0064] An opening/closing door 460 is pivotably mounted on the rear face side on the lid 450 of the water supply tank 426. The opening/closing door 460 pivots inward and is biased so as to be closed from inside by spring members not shown.
[0065] A
protruding part 470 with an apex protruding downward is provided on a top face side in the tank cover 443. The apex of the protruding part 470 forms a spherical surface.
protruding part 470 with an apex protruding downward is provided on a top face side in the tank cover 443. The apex of the protruding part 470 forms a spherical surface.
[0066] In the heating cooker having above configurations, water is supplied into the water supply tank body 441 and the opening of the water supply tank body 441 is covered with the lid 450. Then the opening/closing door 460 is brought into a closed state and an end of the communication pipe 442 is closed by a valve (not shown).
As a result, the water supply tank 426 is brought into a hermetically closed state. When the water supply tank 426 is inserted through an insertion opening 443a of the tank cover 443, the apex of the protruding part 470 on the top face side in the tank cover 443 pushes down and opens the opening/closing door 460 of the water supply tank 426 and the other end part of the communication pipe 442 is connected to the water supply and drainage tube 40 through the tank joint part 44 (shown in Fig. 3), so that the valve at the end of the communication pipe 442 is opened.
As a result, the water supply tank 426 is brought into a hermetically closed state. When the water supply tank 426 is inserted through an insertion opening 443a of the tank cover 443, the apex of the protruding part 470 on the top face side in the tank cover 443 pushes down and opens the opening/closing door 460 of the water supply tank 426 and the other end part of the communication pipe 442 is connected to the water supply and drainage tube 40 through the tank joint part 44 (shown in Fig. 3), so that the valve at the end of the communication pipe 442 is opened.

This configuration is provided in order that supply of the water into a connected water supply path may be allowed by avoidance of hermetic closure of the water supply tank. Accordingly, there has been a problem in that the water may spill from the hole open to atmosphere when the water supply tank is supplied with the water and is carried to the heating cooker. By contrast, the heating cooker in accordance with the fifth embodiment prevents the water from spilling because the water supply tank 426 is in the hermetically closed state when the water supply tank 426 supplied with the water is carried.
[0068] Though the water supply tank 426 is hermetically closed by the opening/closing door 460 when being carried, in the heating cooker in accordance with the fifth embodiment, a hole open to atmosphere that is brought into a hermetically closed state by being pressed by fingers = CA 02939533 2016-08-11 during carriage, for instance, may be provided in place of the opening/closing door, without limitation thereto. In this configuration, it is preferable that the hole open to atmosphere should be provided on a part of the water supply tank that is on top of the lid and that is to be grasped . with a hand and should be closed with a thumb in handling.
[0069] With the heating cookers of the invention, healthy cooking can be performed by use of overheated steam or saturated steam in microwave ovens and the like. In the heating cookers of the invention, for instance, the overheated steam or saturated steam having a temperature of 100 C or higher is supplied onto surfaces of food, the overheated steam or saturated steam deposited onto the surfaces of the food condenses and gives the food a great quantity of latent heat of condensation, and therefore heat can efficiently be transmitted to the food. The condensate water is deposited on the surfaces of the food, and salt content, oil content and the like drip with the condensate water, so that salt content, oil content and the like in the food can be reduced. Furthermore, the heating chamber is filled with the overheated steam or saturated steam so as to be in a low-oxygen state and thus cooking in which oxidation of the food is suppressed can be performed.
Herein, "low-oxygen state" refers to a state in which percentage by volume of oxygen in the heating chamber is 10% or lower (0.5 to 3%, for instance).
