Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To two-dimensionally detect temperature distribution of a food with one temperature detection means irrespective of use or non-use of a rotating placement table in a measuring method of food temperature and a cooker using it. SOLUTION: Drive means 6a, 6b are provided which moves a temperature detection position of temperature detection means 5 for detecting food temperature in two directions substantially perpendicularly to each other. Since the food temperature distribution is detected two-dimensionally, two-dimensional temperature distribution can be detected without the need of rotating a food and with one temperature detection means 5.
