Apparatus and method for automatically cooking fruit
First Claim
1. An automatic cooking apparatus, comprising:
- a cooking cavity that contains food to be cooked and water therein;
a heating unit that heats the food and the water; and
a control unit operated to heat the food and the water at a preset initial output of the heating unit, to reduce the output of the heating unit to a first reduced output and allow the heated temperature water to be absorbed into the food after the water is boiled, and then, to increase and reduce the output of the heating unit in stages to reduce an amount of the water.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method implement automatic cooking, which may automatically cook compote, thus conveniently providing the uniform and optimal cooking quality of compote to a user. The cooking apparatus includes a cooking cavity that contains food to be cooked and water therein, and a heating unit that heats the food and the water. The cooking apparatus further includes a control unit operated to heat the food and the water at a preset initial output of the heating unit, to reduce the output of the heating unit to a first reduced output, allow a heated high temperature water to be absorbed into the food after the water is boiled, and to increase and reduce the output of the heating unit in stages to reduce an amount of the water.

6. An automatic cooking apparatus, comprising:
-
a cooking cavity that contains food to be cooked and water therein;
a heating unit that heats the food and the water;
a gas sensor that detects properties of air inside the cooking cavity; and
a control unit operated to obtain an output of the gas sensor while the food and the water are heated at a preset initial output of the heating unit, to reduce the output of the heating unit to a first reduced output and allow a heated temperature water to be absorbed into the food if the output of the gas sensor reaches a preset value, and then to increase and reduce the output of the heating unit in stages to reduce an amount of the water. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

27. A microwave oven that automatically cooks fruit, comprising:
-
a cooking cavity that contains fruit to be cooked and water therein;
a magnetron that heats the fruit and the water a gas sensor that detects properties of air inside the cooking cavity; and
a control unit operated to obtain an output of the gas sensor while the fruit and the water are heated at a preset initial output, to reduce the output of the magnetron to a first reduced output and allow a heated temperature water to be absorbed into the fruit if the output of the gas sensor reaches a preset value, and then to increase and reduce the output of the magnetron in stages to reduce an amount of the water. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
