RICE COOKER AND PROGRAM THEREOF

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rice cooker capable of highly accurate temperature detection at high speed when the temperature on the bottom of a pot increases or decreases. SOLUTION: The temperature on the bottom of the pot 1 is detected from the difference between the temperature detected by a first temperature detecting means 10 which can detect the infrared rays radiated from the heated pot 1 by converting the infrared rays into heat, and the temperature detected by a second temperature detecting means 11 which detects the ambient temperature without being affected by the infrared rays radiated from the pot 1.
