摘要:
A microwave oven includes a control unit (11) which sets sampling intervals to accumulate humidity values measured by a humidity sensor (6), and controls a cooking end time of food according to an accumulated humidity value obtained by accumulating the humidity values measured during the set sampling intervals. Accordingly, the microwave oven prevents overcooking of the food, for example, that does not require a further cooking after initial generation of steam thereof. The microwave oven may set sampling intervals through several measurements to improve the reliability thereof. Moreover, the microwave oven may learn an operation of setting sampling intervals according to cooking conditions so as to finish a cooking according to the set sampling intervals where a later set cooking condition corresponds to the learned cooking condition.
摘要:
A cooking apparatus equipped with heaters and a method of controlling the same. An aspect of the present invention is to increase convenience of a user by identifying a kind of an accessory, such as a wire rack (720), a crumb tray (714) or the like, present in a cooking cavity (708). Identification is based on a variation in an inner temperature the cooking cavity at an initial operating stage of a cooking mode. A control mode of the heaters is then performed automatically suitable for a corresponding identified cooking accessory (714). A cooking apparatus is provided including two or more heaters installed in a first position of a cooking cavity heating food, the crumb tray (714) is inserted in a second position of the cooking cavity (708) and is used to contain the food in cooking modes using the heaters, and a temperature detection unit (522) is installed between the first and second positions to detect an inside temperature of the cooking cavity (708). When a temperature variation rate of the cooking cavity (708) detected by the temperature detection unit is greater than a preset value, the crumb tray (714) is determined to be used as a cooking accessory, so an ON/OFF state of the heaters is controlled to be suitable for the cooking mode using the crumb tray (714).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for controlling the operation of a microwave oven (1), including a magnetron (3A) generating microwaves and a sensor (6) sensing the state of air in the cooking cavity of the oven. The cooking period is determined by searching one of two data tables in accordance with a determination result after determining whether food to be cooked is included in ascending slope-type foods or descending slope-type foods. The control method and apparatus reduces a deviation in the cooking periods by distinguishing the ascending slope-type foods from the descending slope-type foods. The control method and apparatus allows the microwave oven to appropriately cook food for a period of time which substantially matches a practically required cooking period, thus providing a good cooking result.
摘要:
A microwave oven, having an improved air outlet and humidity sensor mounting structure, includes a body (30) partitioned in its interior into a cooking cavity (12) and a machine room (11) and a cooling fan (51), installed in the machine room, which drives atmospheric air into the cooking cavity (12) while cooling a variety of elements installed in the machine room (11). An air outlet unit (36) discharges air from the cooking cavity and the humidity sensor (60) senses a cooking atmosphere of the cooking cavity. This microwave oven further comprises a control unit (14) which determines the conditions of food (A) in response to automatically or manually inputted information, and controls the speed of the cooling fan (51) in response to the determined conditions of the food so as to improve the sensing performance of the humidity sensor (60).
摘要:
A cooking apparatus having heaters (11,12) which performs cooking by taking a remaining heat of the heaters (11,12) in a cooking cavity into consideration if food is cooked using a heating method through the heaters (11,12). The cooking apparatus performs cooking based on an accumulative temperature value of the cooking cavity in place of a cooking time, thereby optimally cooking foods even though cooking operations are continuously carried out. The cooking apparatus finishes the cooking if the accumulative temperature value of the cooking cavity reaches a temperature value set to correspond to a cooking level for toast, which is selected by a user.
