Abstract
A cooking stove that prevents the execution of a process such as ignition of a burner when a touch switch changes from a non-sensing state to a sensing state. In STEP, when a first touch switch, which is one of the touch switches provided in an operation, is turned on from off, the process advances to STEP, where a controller provided in a cooking stove main body starts a 1-second timer. The controller executes a loop composed of STEPand STEP. When a second touch switch, which is one of the touch switches and is different from the first touch switch, is turned on from off in STEPbefore the 1-second timer times up in STEP, the process advances from STEPto STEP. The controller performs 'error reporting' by blinking a display portion and activating a buzzer.
