[0012] The invention according to claim 4 is to cook the food by controlling the energizing time of the second heating means, mainly by varying the amount of energization to energize the second heating means depending on the rice variety to cook. The temperature difference between the upper and lower layers can be controlled. That is, the longer the energization time of the second heating means, the wider the temperature difference between the upper and lower layers of the cooked food. If this temperature difference is used, for example, soft rice easily promotes the pregelatinization of rice with a small amount of heat, but if cooked too much, it tends to be sticky. Hard rice, on the other hand, is less likely to become stingy when cooked too much, but has the characteristic that if it is not heated with a large amount of heat, α-formation is not easily promoted. Therefore, in soft rice, the energization time of the second heating means is lengthened to suppress the lower layer betting, and in hardened rice, the energization time of the second heating means is shortened to increase the amount of heating in the lower part and increase the value of α. By promoting rice, you can easily cook rice with reduced cooking unevenness.

The operation of the above configuration will be described below. A cooked product 19 such as rice water is put into the pan 12, and the outer coil 14 and the side coil 15 are transferred from the circuit board 16 for operating the rice cooker.
When an electric current is applied to the pan, the outer coil 14 and the side coil 15 generate an alternating magnetic field, the pot 12 is heated, and the temperature of the food 20 rises. Rice cooking starts and is cooked by the heating process shown in FIG. During the heating process, “cooked 1” is cooked mainly by the outer coil 14 and the first side coil 15 is energized as necessary.

[0016] During the cooking process of rice, when the temperature of the food reaches a boiling point that uniformly raises the temperature of the food, the cooked rice absorbs water, and the upper layer of the food loses water around the rice relatively quickly, so that the rice is cooked. There was less water, and the bottom of the food was overcooked due to the presence of water around the rice until the end, and it was easy to get stuck.

Therefore, when the outer coil 14 and the inner coil 15 are energized and heated in the “cooking 1”, which is an initial rice cooking process, the water in the food 19 becomes an external convection passing through the pot side and becomes the upper layer of the food 19. Temperature rises. After that, by energizing both the inner coil 13 and the outer coil 14 in the “cooking 2”, the temperature of the upper portion of the food has already risen faster than that of the lower portion, thereby preventing overheating of the lower portion of the food 19. it can. Further, by controlling the time of "cooking 1", the temperature difference between the upper and lower layers of the cooked food can be controlled. In other words, the longer the energizing time of "cooking 1", the greater the temperature difference between the upper and lower layers of the food.

FIG. 3 is a graph showing the temperature of the food when the time of "cooking 1" is varied. In the figure, a indicates the temperature of the lower part of the food 19, b indicates the temperature of the middle part, and c indicates the temperature of the middle part. (A)
Is "Cooking 1" time is 0, (B) is "Cooking 1"
(C) shows a case where the time of “Cooking 1” is long. As is clear from the figure, the longer the time of “cooking 1”, the lower the temperature a of the lower layer and the temperature c of the upper layer.
The difference is widening. According to the experiments of the inventors, (A)
In the rice, the lower layer became sticky and the taste was worse. In addition, the rice in (C) had a lower layer that was not boiled enough and had a rough texture. The rice of (B) had almost no unevenness in the top and bottom of the rice and had good taste.

Further, if this temperature difference is used, for example, in the case of new rice, the pregelatinization of rice is easily promoted with a small amount of heat, but if the rice is cooked too much, it is likely to be sticky. Old rice, on the other hand, is less likely to become stingy when cooked too much, but has the characteristic that if it is not heated with a large amount of heat, it will be difficult to promote the pregelatinization. Therefore, in new rice, the energization time of the second heating means is lengthened to suppress the lower layer betting, and in old rice, the energization time of the second heating means is shortened to increase the amount of heating in the lower layer and promote the pregelatinization. Let it. Similarly, the same effect can be obtained depending on the rice variety.

Also, in the step of "cooking 1", the outer coil 1
4 and the side coil 15 are energized simultaneously and the outer coil 1
Although the result of the cooked rice state when only 4 is energized is almost the same, since the case where the outer coil 14 and the side coil 15 are energized at the same time expands the unevenness of the food 19 more quickly,
Similar effects can be obtained in a short time.

The time of "cooking 1" in the present embodiment is set in advance by a program. This is because, in the case of a rice cooker incorporated in a rice cooking system as in the present embodiment, rice cooking performance is more stable when the rice cooking amount and the water addition amount are set in advance to set the time. However, when the amount of cooked rice cannot be set in advance as in a domestic rice cooker, rice cooker performance is more stabilized by energizing until the temperature of the bottom sensor 17 reaches a predetermined value. As described above, it is only necessary to select one in which rice cooking is stable in accordance with the use conditions of the rice cooker.

In the second stage of the rice cooking process, it is necessary to raise the temperature inside the food 19 uniformly and quickly. Therefore, in this step, the inner coil 13
And both the outer coil 14 and the outer coil 14 are energized at the maximum power.
At this time, when the side coil 15 is also energized, the boiling time can be shortened, but the side coil 15 heats only the upper part of the food 19, so that the unevenness of cooking increases. Therefore, when the side coil 15 is not energized and the rice is made better, the side coil 15 is forcibly turned off when both the inner coil 13 and the outer coil 14 are energized. In this case, the maximum input of the present embodiment is 13 kW, and the power supply capacity can be reduced as compared with 15 kW when all the heating coils are energized.

Next, in the second stage of the rice cooking process, "additional cooking 1" and "additional cooking 2", in the second stage of the rice cooking process, "cooking 2", the surface where the inner coil 13 and the outer coil face each other is different. Because the food 19 is heated more, the food 19 in contact with the pot in the vicinity is heated more, and the cooked rice 19 in contact with the surface of the pot receives much heat, and the starch granules elute, The surface area of the pot that contacts the inner coil 13 and the outer coil 14 with the surface of the pot is increased. At this time, the inner coil 13 and the outer coil 14
If the heating is continued in step (2), since the adhesion area between the starch granules and the pot surface is large, the heat flow to the starch granules increases, and the starch flow is colored and burns. Here, by using the side coil 15 to which the starch granules are not attached, concentrated heating to the starch is reduced, so that the heating can be continued without worrying about the occurrence of burning. By continuing the heating as described above, the side portion of the pot 12 can be maintained at 100 ° C. or higher, so that the whitening that occurs on the side surface of the pot 12 can be suppressed, and the temperature of the rice, which is the food 19, is 10 ° C.
Since it can be maintained at a level higher than 0 ° C., sufficient α can be obtained, and surface water existing on the rice surface
(Free water) can also be removed, and a rice cooker with improved beam and sweetness can be provided.
