Abstract
A heating cooker of the present disclosure includes a heating chamber for accommodating a heating target; a heating unit; a control unit; a detection unit; an illumination unit; an image-capturing unit; a recognition processing unit; and a notification unit. The heating unit heats a heating target. The control unit controls heating by the heating unit. The detection unit detects opening/closing of a door of the heating chamber. The illumination unit illuminates an interior of the heating chamber. The image-capturing unit captures images of the interior of the heating chamber when the door is opened and closed. The recognition processing unit is operable to read the heating control information provided to the heating target from the captured images. When the recognition processing unit successfully reads the heating control information when the door is opened, the control unit causes the notification unit to notify success in reading the heating control information.
