Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the surface of rice from being dried and to prevent the parts of a cover from being deformed by maximizing the output of a cover heater in a rice temperature rising period, and lowering the output of the cover heater in a boiling-up period. CONSTITUTION:At the time of rice cooking, the output of a cover heater 5 is set to 100% in a rice temperature rising period. When a thermistor mounted on the lower face of an inner rice-cooking pot 3 of the rice cooker detects boiling-up in the inner rice-cooking pot, the output of the cover heater 5 is lowered to a prescribed output by utilizing a heating quantity control means. In this regard, the output reduction rate of the cover heater 5 is determined suitably in accordance with a cooking state and the quality of rice, etc. When the output is lowered, the heating quantity of the cover heater 5 is reduced, therefore, it does not occur that the surface of rice becomes dry and parts of the cover are damaged due to overheating.

The main aim of development is how to cook rice into delicious rice, and to this end, constant development efforts are being made in every detail. Particularly recently, in order to improve the taste of cooked rice, it has become effective to heat the inner pot in which the rice is stored not only from the bottom but also from the top.In the past, this method was mainly used to keep the rice warm. The output of the lid heater has been strengthened, and a rice cooking method has been adopted in which the lid heater is used from above to heat rice during cooking. Therefore, the output of the lid heater has recently been increased from 10 watts to 60 to 80 watts.

FIG. 3 is a heating curve when cooked rice is cooked using the rice cooker described above, and shows the change in the temperature of the cooked rice over time. First, a predetermined amount of rice and water are stored in the inner pot 3, and when the switch is turned on at the 0 point, the bottom heater 4 and the lid heater 5 are turned on, heating the rice and water from the bottom and top. The temperature of the rice and water in the inner pot 3 rises as the rice heats up, and when it reaches point P, it begins to boil. During boiling, the temperature of the cooked rice remains at the boiling point of 100°C, but as the cooking progresses and no more water evaporates at point Q, the temperature of the cooked rice rises rapidly as shown in the figure.

A thermistor disposed in contact with the bottom of the inner pot detects this rising temperature at the R point of 130° C., and the output of the bottom heater 4 is reduced to almost zero, entering into an uneven state. When a predetermined period of time has elapsed during the heating process, the body heater 6 is activated to enter a heat retention state.

In the above-mentioned rice cooking, the period from turning on the switch to boiling is the temperature rising period, and the period during boiling is called the boiling period, and both are collectively referred to as the rice cooking process. These are the unevenness process and the heat retention process.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in the above-mentioned rice cooking process, the lid heater is operated together with the bottom heater to heat the inner pot from the bottom and top. As a result, the surface of the cooked rice may become overheated and dry. Additionally, the interior of the lid may become overheated due to the lid heater, resulting in deformation of the lid parts. If the output of the lid heater is lowered using the heating amount control means to avoid this, there is a risk that the heating will be insufficient and the rice cooking will be hindered, which has been a problem for some time.
