  • Publication number: 20240142114
    Abstract: A heating cooking apparatus includes a heating cooking chamber, a first heater, a first fan, a second heater, a second fan, and a control unit. The first fan blows first air heated by the first heater into the heating cooking chamber. The second heater heats second air. The second fan blows the second air heated by the second heater into the heating cooking chamber. The control unit controls the first heater, the first fan, the second heater, and the second fan. The control unit stops energization of the first heater and energizes the second heater before notification of completion of a preheating process. The preheating process indicates a process in which a temperature in the heating cooking chamber exceeds a threshold temperature at least once.

  • Patent number: 11555616
    Abstract: A steam generating container A heated by a heat source includes: a water evaporation chamber into which water is supplied by a water supply device; a leading opening to lead steam from the water evaporation chamber, and ejection openings ejecting steam led through the leading opening into a heating chamber containing food. A buffer chamber connecting through the leading opening and with the ejection openings is provided between the water evaporation chamber and the heating chamber. Even when bumping water enters the buffer chamber through the leading opening, the bumping water having entered flows inside the buffer chamber. Thus, the bumping water is hardly ejected into the heating chamber through the ejection openings.
