Abstract

The present invention provides a rice cooker that reads the origin, variety, etc. of rice from an IC tag installed in a rice bag and cooks rice in an optimal manner. The pot (2) in which the object to be heated is put in is heated by the pot heating device (3), and the cooking is performed by controlling the pot heating device (3) by the control device (4). The control device (4) controls the pan heating device (3) based on the information from the reading device (6) which reads the place of production, the variety, etc. of the rice from the IC tag.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a rice cooker that reads rice information from an electronic tag such as an IC tag attached to a rice bag, and cooks rice based on the read information. Background technique [0002] Generally, in a domestic rice cooker, the rice in the pot of the rice cooker is soaked in water to make the rice absorb water, and then the rice and water are heated to promote gelatinization of the rice. In existing cooking techniques, rice loses its fluidity in a state of roughly no moisture. In the cooking process of the final process of cooking, heating is continued so far to complete the gelatinization of rice starch. In this series of cooking procedures, in the case of new rice with a high water content at the beginning, if the rice is soaked in water for a certain period of time in the pot, the water content inside the rice will be too much. Therefore, when the rice is cooked, it will be too sticky and soft, and the surface will be...
