Abstract
A heating cooker includes a heating chamber in which an object to be heated is stored, a heating unit heating the object to be heated stored in the heating chamber, an imaging unit imaging an inside of the heating chamber, and a reading unit extracting a character of heating control information from an attachment attached to the object to be heated and reading that character. The heating cooker further includes a heating control unit controlling the heating unit based on the heating control information read by the reading unit. In this manner, heating time can be automatically set without a clerk having to input a product heating time or select a button corresponding to a product and a hassle attributable to registration of a relationship between a product code and the heating time can be avoided.
