PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steam supply mechanism for continuously generating steam while supplying heat energy in well balanced relation between a heat carrier part and an evaporation part. SOLUTION: The steam supply mechanism comprises a heating means body 111 in which a heat source (a heating means) 101 is embedded, a carrier pipe heating part 113 for boiling liquid in a carrier pipe 112, a heat transfer control part 114 formed of a material having smaller heat conductivity than a material for the evaporation part 131, and a thermistor 132 for detecting the temperature of the heat source body 111. The deposition of scales with local boiling in the carrier pipe is suppressed by reducing a heat transfer amount to the carrier pipe 112 while setting the heat source at a high temperature in a preset range for securing heat energy to be supplied to side of evaporation. Thus, the steam supply mechanism continuously generates the steam having a high temperature of nearly 100°C while supplying heat energy in well balanced relation between the carrier part and the evaporation part.
