RICE COOKER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rice cooker capable of accurately measuring rice amount, educing measurement dispersion, and accurately displaying the measured rice amount without storing it. SOLUTION: The rice cooker is provided with weight measuring means 26 for measuring rice weight inside a pot 22 and an operation part 30 for displaying rice measurement and its water measurement and operating them on the basis of the measurement of the weight measuring means 26. The plurality of weight measuring means 26 are arranged so as to receive the weight at the bottom part of a main body 21, and the operation part 30 is provided separately from the main body 21 so that operation force is not exerted to the weight measuring means 26 at the time of the operation. Thus, the bottom part of the main body 21 is received by the plurality of arranged weight measuring means 26, the rice is accurately measured and the measurement dispersion is less. Also, since the rice measurement and the water measurement are displayed, the need of storing the rice measurement is eliminated. Also, since the operation force is not exerted to the weight measuring means 26 at the time of the operation of the operation part 30, the rice measurement and the water measurement are accurately displayed.
