Abstract: There is provided a heating cooking apparatus which can reduce heating and cooking time by reducing the time for raising the temperature of a heating chamber to a desired temperature. In a heat source chamber 30, since the distance between a heat source 31 formed in the spiral shape in order to heat air and a circulating fan 32 is as close as less than 10 mm, ventilation efficiency improves. Further, a coating film 25 is formed on a side surface on the heat source chamber 30 side of a partition plate 22 which forms a boundary between the heat source chamber 30 and a heating chamber 20. Hereby, the heat supplied from the electric heater 31 is stored in the coating film 25, and next the heat is radiated from the coating film 25, with the result that the coating film 25 heats the air in the heat source chamber 30 as a second heat source.

Abstract: A high frequency heating apparatus equipped with the oven hood comprises a heating chamber, a power supply apparatus for controlling high frequency output power by way of a semiconductor element, ventilation, and illumination for illuminating an object to be heated by another heat-cooking apparatus. Since the high frequency output power is controlled in such a manner that an optimum heating output power is applied in a linear manner for a proper time period, the heating output power can be controlled in the linear manner and the high frequency heating apparatus can be largely reduced in weight. As a result, the highest-speed heat-cooking operation by receiving the maximum high frequency output power can be realized, and the optimum cooking performance can be realized. Both the installation performance of the appliance to the mounting wall plane and the safety performance achieved by stably fixing the appliance can also be largely improved.
