However, in the rice cooker, the main heating source heats from the bottom and the bottom side of the pot, so that the rice absorbs all the water in the pot and becomes rice during the rice cooking process. . After further heating, the rice becomes a heat insulating layer and conducts heat to the surroundings only by the inherent heat conduction of the pot. However, there is a limit to the uniform conduction of heat to the surroundings only by the inherent heat conduction of the pot, so that only the pot surface facing the heating source is heated and becomes locally hot, causing scorching and taste. Sufficient heating could not be carried out after this step because it is easily damaged.

On the other hand, conditions for cooking delicious rice include 9
It is necessary to maintain the inside of the pot at 8 ° C for 20 minutes to promote the pregelatinization of the rice, and to sufficiently drain the surface water of the rice to prevent aging of the starch. Therefore, conventional rice cookers could not sufficiently heat for the reasons described above.

That is, in the conventional rice cooker, sufficient heating was performed to maintain the above-mentioned temperature of 98 ° C. for 20 minutes, and the surface water of rice could not be sufficiently spattered to deteriorate the taste. In addition, the taste of cold rice, such as a bento, was also deteriorated due to the aging of the rice. In order to prevent this, if heating was sufficiently performed after boiling, the rice was scorched and the taste was deteriorated.

Further, in the cooling step at the beginning of the heat retention, when the surface water adhering to the rice evaporates and becomes steam, and is released to the outside air, a part of the steam is condensed by the steam port provided in the lid and the packing to form dew.

[0010] According to the above means, the rice and water to be cooked are mainly heated to the boil by the bottom heating means, thereby promoting convection in the pan and uniformly raising the temperature. When boiling, the surface of the pot facing the bottom heating means is heated more than the other parts of the pot, so the rice in contact with the surface of the pot receives extremely much heat and the starch granules elute, The adhesion area between the surface of the pot in contact with the first heating means and the surface of the adhesion pot is increased. At this time, if the heating is further continued by the bottom heating means, since the adhesion area between the starch granules and the pot surface is large, the heat flow to the starch granules is increased, and the starch flow is colored and charred. Here, by using the first bottom surface heating means having no starch granules attached thereto, concentrated heating on the starch is reduced, so that heating can be continued without worrying about occurrence of burning. At this time, by setting the position of the first side surface heating means near the center of the pot creepage area, it becomes easier to heat the whole pot, so that the effect is increased.
By continuing the heating as described above, the temperature in the cooked rice can be maintained at a level higher than 100 ° C., so that sufficient α can be obtained and surface water existing on the rice surface can be obtained. (Free water) can also be removed,
It is possible to provide a rice cooker with improved beam and sweetness. In addition, since the surface water after cooking is small, the generation of steam from the rice after the transition to the heat retention process can be suppressed, and the amount of dripping generated by the generation of steam decreases, so the whitening of the rice also decreases significantly, The taste at the restaurant is also improved.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, at least one of the first and second side heating means is constituted by an induction coil for performing induction heating. According to this means, since the pot is directly heated by the induction coil, the location of the heating means is reduced, and the heat insulating space can be significantly reduced.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the second side heating means is provided near the pot flange. According to this means, by providing the third heating means in the vicinity of the pot flange, the temperature of the pot packing in contact with the flange is raised, and the amount of steam generated from rice dripping and dewing on the pot packing is greatly increased. Since it can be reduced, the whitening of rice can be significantly reduced. In particular, the pot packing is in direct contact with the outside air due to the structure located at the joint between the body and the lid. Therefore, the pot packing tends to be lower than the ambient temperature in the housing. Therefore, as described above, increasing the temperature of the pot packing by supplying heat to the pot packing significantly reduces the occurrence of dew condensation.

According to the above means, the boiling in the early stage of rice cooking is mainly performed by the bottom heating means, so that the temperature in the food is transmitted from below to above by convection, so that the temperature in the food is uniform and efficient. To rise. When the cooked food is in a boiling state, the cooked food is in a rice state due to the absorption of water by the rice, so that the main body of heat transfer is heat conduction. At this time, heating is mainly performed by the first side surface heating means, so that the heating area can be enlarged and the heat can be uniformly distributed to the whole rice. In addition, when the rice cooking is completed and the process proceeds to the heat retaining step, by heating the vicinity of the pot packing having a low temperature facing the outside air, efficient use of the second side heating means capable of holding down the dew drop and heating efficiently can be achieved. In addition, a high-performance rice cooker can be provided.

The operation of the above configuration will be described below. When a food 19 such as rice water is put into the pot 12 and an electric current flows from the circuit board 16 for operating the rice cooker to the bottom coil 13, the bottom coil 13 generates an alternating magnetic field, and the pot 12 heats to produce the food 2.
The temperature of 0 rises and rice cooking starts, and rice is cooked by the heating process shown in FIG. During the heating process, the "pre-cooking step" and the "heating step" can be mainly cooked by the bottom coil 13 and the first side coil 14 can be energized as necessary. "Heating process" When the food 20 in the pot 12 boils,
The lid sensor 19 detects the boiling and moves to the “boiling step”. At this time, power is supplied to the first side coil 14 or the bottom coil 13 according to a predetermined menu. In the latter half of the "boiling process", the water in the cooking product 20 is not absorbed by the rice, so that the pot bottom temperature rises, and the bottom sensor 19 detects the temperature, and the "reheating process" / "steaming process" And proceed. After the detection of the cooking, the side coil 14 is mainly energized to finish the rice cooking. Furthermore, at this time, since the surface water after cooking is small, the generation of steam from the rice after the transition to the heat retention process can be suppressed, and the amount of dripping generated by the generation of steam decreases, so the whitening of the rice also decreases significantly It also improves the taste during warming.

As is apparent from the above description, after the detection of the cooked food, the side coil 14 is energized to suppress the scorch and maintain the temperature of the cooked food at 98 ° C. or more to keep the cooked food 2
In addition to promoting the pregelatinization of rice, the so-called "baking process" is realized by removing surface water adhering to the rice, thereby improving the rice beam and greatly improving the taste.

Further, since the surface water of the rice is small at the end of the rice cooking, the water vapor from the rice is also reduced. Further, the lid 22 and the second side coil 15 are mainly energized, and the steam port 22 is in contact with the outside air. In addition, the present invention provides a rice cooker in which the pot packing 23 is heated to make the temperature in the casing uniform, to prevent the occurrence of dripping, to prevent whitening of the rice, and to improve the heat retaining state.
