HEATING COOKER, COOKING SYSTEM, ARITHMETIC DEVICE, AND COOKING SUPPORT METHOD
First Claim
1. A heating cooker comprising:
- a heating chamber that houses food;
a heating unit that heats the food in the heating chamber;
an image data acquisition unit that acquires image data on the food after the food has been housed in the heating chamber;
an acceptance unit that accepts a user input relating to heating control content defining a heating operation of the heating unit;
a first storage unit that stores control information in which the image data and the heating control content corresponding to the food specified from the image data are associated with each other;
a start order unit that orders start of the heating operation to the heating unit; and
an update unit that associates the image data and the heating control content with each other and updates the control information within the first storage unit, when the acceptance unit accepts the user input and then the start order unit orders start of the heating operation.
