Abstract
A microwave oven with a microprocessor and a read only memory for storing a plurality of cooking programs corresponding to a plurality of recipes. The cooking program corresponding to each recipe comprises data concerning a heating energy intensity and a cooking time period as determined for a unit quantity of a material to be cooked. The microwave oven is adapted for the entry of data representing the actual quantity of a material to be cooked relative to said unit quantity, and the microprocessor is adapted such that the cooking time period of a selected cooking program is modified as a function of said quantity data, whereby a modified cooking time period is set. A magnetron oscillator is controlled based on the heating energy intensity read out from the selected cooking program and the modified cooking time period prepared by means of the microprocessor, whereby a heat cooking operation best suited for the actual quantity of the material to be cooked is automatically performed.
