<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rice cooker performing rice cooking and warming with proper power according to the room temperature of the four seasons, and having stabilized rice cooking and warming performance. <P>SOLUTION: The rice cooker includes a pot, a lid body, heating means, temperature detection means having a steam temperature sensor and a pot bottom temperature sensor, storage means, a controller, and temperature range decision means. After a prescribed time lapses after a rice cooking process is started, the steam temperature sensor detects the room temperature, the pot bottom temperature sensor detects a water temperature, the storage means stores the detected room temperature and water temperature, the temperature range decision means decides temperature ranges of the stored room temperature and water temperature, and when the room temperature and the water temperature are included in the same temperature range, the controller performs in-reference-temperature dedicated control when the room temperature and the water temperature are within a range of an initial setting temperature, performs in-high-temperature dedicated control when the room temperature and the water temperature are higher than the initial setting temperature, performs in-low-temperature dedicated control when the room temperature and the water temperature are lower than the initial setting temperature, and performs the in-reference-temperature dedicated control when the room temperature and the water temperature are not included in the same temperature range. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
