HEATING APPARATUS

摘要

A cooking heating apparatus has a steam sensor (7) for sensing the state of heating of a foodstuff in a heating chamber (1), thus performing automatic control of the heating operation. An auxiliary exhaust opening (4) for allowing steam from the heated foodstuff to be introduced to the steam sensor is formed in a region where the flow of the steam is not influenced by a main flow of air supplied into the heating chamber and flowing towards a main exhaust opening (3). The steam sensor is disposed so as to be exposed to the steam introduced through the auxiliary exhaust opening. The condition of the steam is therefore sensed quickly without being influenced by the main flow of air.
