A microwave oven includes: a cooker body in the shape of a box having a heating chamber with an opening at the front side thereof; a storage having a door which opens and closes the opening, and an inner box including two side plates, a bottom plate and a back plate connected to the door, the storage being movable to the front side and storing an object to be cooked; and a hot-air generating unit generating hot air. The hot-air generating unit is located at the outer side of a rear wall of a heating chamber, and an air outlet from which hot air is blown out is located on the rear wall at a position higher than the back plate.

Heating cooker

A cooking oven, wherein air in a cooking chamber is sucked into a blower on the outside of the cooking chamber and fed to an upper duct and a lateral duct, air current led into the upper duct is heated by an upper heater and re-circulated from an upper blowing port to the cooking chamber, a catalyst block heated by a catalyst heating heater is disposed in the upper duct to decompose lamp black and smell substances contained in the air current, catalyst paint is applied onto the inner wall surface of the upper duct to reinforce a performance for decomposing the lamp black and smell substances, both the lateral duct and the upper duct are formed in the same structure, the distributions of heating volumes of the upper heater and the lateral heater in the cross sections of the upper duct and the lateral duct are set so that larger heating volumes are generated on larger air volume sides according to the air volume distributions in the cross sections of the ducts, and the catalyst block is also disposed in the cross sections of the ducts eccentrically to the larger heater heating volume side.

Heating cooking device

A cooking apparatus has a door for opening and closing the opening of a heating chamber. The door has an operation portion that permits setting of heating conditions such as heating time and heating mode and a display panel for displaying the heating conditions. The door is composed of a door frame constituting the outer frame of the door, and a door screen made of an elastic material and fitted in the door frame. A door sheet is laid over the door screen by being bonded thereto. In the door sheet are formed operation keys that are arranged in the operation portion, a transparent portion that serves as a display window through which to view the display panel, and a transparent portion that serves as a peep window through which to look into the heating chamber.
