Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the generation of a smell during insulation of heat through killing of putrefying bacteria in a pot by controlling a heating means so that the temperature of the pot is held at a given value higher than the boiling temperature of water for a specified time based on an output from a timer means. CONSTITUTION:When a rice cooking completion temperature of approximate 140 deg.C is detected by a temperature detecting means 22, a triac 19 is thereafter turned ON and OFF so that a heat insulating temperature of approximate 75 deg.C is maintained. When a sterilizing coarse is selected by a menu switch 24, it is inputted to a control means 20 through a menu selecting means 23. A control means 20 operates a timer means 21 incorporated therein to start clocking of a given time T, and simultaneously, temperature in a pot 3 is held at a sterilizing temperature theta. In which case, the sterilizing temperature theta and the given time T are preset so that the spores of putrefying bacteria are killed in dry air by heat. When clocking for the given time T is completed, the control means 20 turns OFF a relay contact 17 of a first relay 16 and simultaneously switches a second relay 18 to form a heat insulating circuit, whereby the generation of the smell from boiled rice is reduced and even when it is heat-insulated for a long time, boiled rice with reduced smell can be obtained.

(b) Conventional technology General rice cookers, for example, are configured to keep rice warm after cooking, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-25765. be. One of the causes of this off-odor is that spoilage bacteria that live in the inner pot multiply while the rice is kept warm and break down the rice into various substances that cause the off-odor. Efforts have been made to raise the insulating temperature to prevent the growth of spoilage bacteria, but there is also the problem that the rice ages and tends to turn yellow. In addition, some spoilage bacteria, such as Bacillus and Clostridium, reproduce by producing spores, and these spores are highly heat resistant and cannot be killed by boiling during rice cooking.

Here, the above-mentioned sterilization temperature (θ) and predetermined time (T) are set in advance to heat-kill the spores of heat-resistant bacteria that produce spores, such as Bacillus and Clostridium, in dry air. ing. For example, when (θ) is 160℃, (T) is 60 minutes, and when (θ) is 180℃, (T)
By setting (θ) to 10 minutes, all spoilage bacteria and their spores attached to inner M (3) can be killed by heat, but by setting (θ) to the rice-cooking completion temperature or lower, It is also possible to heat-kill the spores if the time period is long enough. By the way, it takes several hours with boiling water to kill the spores of Clostridium botulinum (genus Clostridium), which causes food poisoning, but it takes about 30 minutes with dry air at 1.60°C.
