A cooking apparatus includes a cooking chamber in which a food material is to be placed, a heating portion configured to heat an inside of the cooking chamber, a temperature sensor disposed inside the cooking chamber to detect a temperature of the food material, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine conditions including a target rate of an internal temperature rise of the food material and a target reach internal temperature of the food material, based on a type and a size of the food material, and to adjust an output of the heating portion based on the conditions and an internal temperature of the food material determined based on the temperature of the food material detected by the temperature sensor.

Cooking apparatus and control method thereof

A heating cooker to manage surface and inside temperatures of food. A heating portion heats inside of a heating space where the food material is placed. At least one processor controls the heating portion to perform driving for high-temperature heating after performing driving for low-temperature heating. During the driving for low-temperature heating, the heating portion may heat the inside of the heating space such that an average increase velocity of a reference temperature of the food material is lower than an average increase velocity of the reference temperature of the food material during the driving for high-temperature heating. During the driving for high-temperature heating, the heating portion may heat the inside of the heating space such that an average increase velocity of the reference temperature of the food material is higher than the average increase velocity of the reference temperature of the food material during the driving for low-temperature heating.

Heating cooker and heating cooking method

Disclosed herein is useful as a stored object detector and a method of detecting stored objects configured to capture an image a movable storage portion, and objects stored in the storage portion, and configured to acquire storage information including at least one of position, size and quantity of the stored object based on the captured image. In addition, disclosed herein is a dishwasher configured to identify at least storage area of dish stored in a dish storage basket. It is possible to estimate a position of a basket, although the number of feature points is small. Therefore, when installing a detection indicator corresponding to the feature point, which is separated from the general configuration, to the basket, it is not required to install a large number of detection indicator, and thus it is possible to improve the appearance of the dishwasher. In addition, since it is possible to use the configuration that is generally installed in the basket, as the feature point, it is not required to additionally install the detection indicator and thus it is possible to improve the appearance of the dishwasher.
