Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent such a phenomenon as half-cooked rice by constituting a rice cooker so that a timer is operated at the time point when an inner rice-cooking pot is raised, and when the inner rice-cooking pot is installed within the prescribed time, the process before the inner rice-cooking pot is raised is restarted, but unless the inner rice-cooking pot is installed within the prescribed time, the warming control is stopped. CONSTITUTION:After rice cooking is started, whether an inner rice-cooking pot 3 is installed or not is decided in the warming process after the rice cooking and the steaming processes, and when it is raised and not loaded, the control is stopped, and whether it is raised in the warming process or not is decided by a warming process deciding means. Unless it is in the warming process, furthermore, whether the inner rice-cooking pot is installed in the rice cooker or not is decided, and when it is loaded, the control is restarted. Also, when the raising time point of the inner rice-cooking pot 3 is in the warming process, a timer is operated. When the inner rice-cooking pot 3 is installed immediately, the control is restarted. When time elapses in a state that the inner rice-cooking pot 3 remains raised, and the time when the inner rice-cooking pot 3 is not installed yet exceeds 30 seconds, the warming control is stopped. In the case rice and water are put newly into the inner rice-cooking pot and rice cooking is executed, since the rice cooker is returned already to a state before the start, half-cooking, etc., do not occur.

A conventional rice cooker control program is configured as described above. Therefore, in a rice cooker that is in the process of keeping warm, there is no problem if the lifted inner pot is returned to the keeping warm state, but for example, if the inner pot that is in the keeping warm state is removed from the rice cooker,
If you add new rice and water to the rice cooker after processing the rice inside and try to cook rice, press the cancel button to cancel the memory of the warm state and do not press the rice cooking start button again. However, if you just put the inner pot back into the rice cooker, the rice cooker will return to its memorized warming process when you put it back, so the rice in the inner pot will be raw. As these cases have been repeated from time to time by careless users,
Countermeasures have been requested for some time.
