RICE COOKER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rice cooker capable of reducing a body size and suppressing an amount of power consumption while enhancing usability.SOLUTION: A rice cooker (100) includes: a pot shape container (1) for housing an object to be heated; a heating part (12) for heating the pot shape container; a water supply part (30) for supplying water to the pot shape container; and a control part (18) for controlling the heating part (12) and the water supply part (30) in a rice cooking process. The control part (18) controls the heating part (12) so as to allow a heating amount to be changed into a second heating amount larger than a first heating amount in at least one period among a first period immediately after water supply, a second period during water supply, and a third period immediately before water supply when allowing the water supply part to supply water during a period when a heating amount per unit time by the heating part (12) is the first heating amount.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】使い勝手を向上させつつ、本体サイズを小さくし且つ消費電力量を抑制することができる炊飯器を提供する。【解決手段】炊飯器（１００）は、被加熱物を収容する鍋状容器（１）と、鍋状容器を加熱する加熱部（１２）と、鍋状容器内に給水する給水部（３０）と、炊飯工程において加熱部（１２）及び給水部（３０）を制御する制御部（１８）とを備え、制御部（１８）は、加熱部（１２）による単位時間当たりの加熱量が第１の加熱量である期間中に前記給水部に給水させる場合には、給水の直後の第１期間、給水の途中の第２期間、及び給水の直前の第３期間の内の少なくとも１つの期間において加熱量が第１の加熱量より大きい第２の加熱量に変更されるように加熱部（１２）を制御する。【選択図】図１
