PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem in which sufficiently delicious rice could not be cooked quickly as, in immersion, portions with insufficient water supply remain and they became half-cooked portions.SOLUTION: A rice cooker includes: a rice cooker body 21; lids 25, 27; a pot for cooking rice 22; a heating coil 23; and a fan motor 32 for circulating air in the rice cooker body 21. The fan motor is configured so as to feed air in the rice cooker into immersion water in the pot after predetermined time has elapsed since the pot in which the rice and immersion water are accommodated is heated by the heating coil, and also to circulate the air in the rice cooker. Thus, the rice in the water is agitated while being cooled by the fed airflow, water is spread to the entire rice while rice grains are separated with increased glutinousness in the middle of gelatinization, immersion is finished in a short time, and as a result, good rice cooking can be performed without half-cooked portions in a short time. Also, steam, heat and the like are not discharged during rice immersion, and also hygienic rice cooking in which dust does not come into the cooking rice can be achieved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
