  • Patent number: 8334488
    Abstract: A cooker of the invention includes: a heating chamber; a detachable heating pan; a high-frequency wave supply unit which generates microwaves; an antenna which radiates the microwaves generated by the high-frequency wave supply unit; a heat supply unit which heats an object placed on the heating pan by heat radiation; and a control unit which controls heating treatment of the objects to be heated. When a first object to be heated is placed on a placing table used also as a bottom surface of the heating chamber, and a second object to be heated is placed on the heating pan, the control unit controls the second object to be heated so as to be heated by the heat supply unit after subjecting at least the first object to be heated to the microwave radiation, and stops operation after heating of the objects to be heated is completed.
