Heating cooker

Abstract

A heating cooker produces hot steam by boiling water in a cooking cavity thereof, and cooks food by use of the hot steam to prepare steamed food. The heating cooker has a cabinet to define a cooking cavity therein. A steaming vessel to contain food and water therein, is laid on a bottom wall of the cooking cavity. A heater is provided at the bottom wall of the cooking cavity to heat the bottom wall of the cooking cavity on which the steaming vessel is laid. Thus, the heater heats the water contained in the steaming vessel, so that the water is boiled to produce the hot steam.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to heating cooking devices, and more particularly, to a cooking device capable of cooking food using hot steam. Background technique [0002] In general, a heated cooking device is a cooking device that uses heated air to cook food in its cooking cavity. In this heating and cooking device, several heat transfer phenomena are used to achieve the cooking of food, such as (1) "convection", which uses the circulation of air heated by the heater in the cooking cavity or the movement of air to transfer heat to the food , (2) "radiation", which is the process by which heat is emitted from the heater and the heated inner surfaces of the cooking cavity and transported through the air to be absorbed by the food, and (3) "conduction", which is the process by which the food is absorbed by the container in which it is placed Transfer heat from heated air to food. [0003] The advantage of the traditional heating cooking dev...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, conventional heating and cooking devices are not suitable for preparing steamed food, which requires additional water to be given to the food during steaming
