Abstract: In a cooking system (100), a cooking control part (52) has a terminal communication part (57) that performs one-to-one communication with each of first through third communication parts (17, 27, 37A, 37B). The first communication part (17) sends a state of a heating part (11) ascertained by a heating control part (12) to the terminal communication part. The second communication part (27) sends detection results from a first state sensor (26) to the terminal communication part. The third communication part (37A, 37B) sends detection results from a second state sensor (36A, 36B) to the terminal communication part. Based on the information received by the terminal communication part, the cooking control part generates and sends a cooking command for the heating part from the terminal communication part to the first communication part. The heating control part controls the cooking (heating) based on the cooking command.
