RICE COOKER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve cooking irregularities, the burning of rice at a pot bottom and drying by varying the power ratio of a first heating means for heating the bottom surface part of a pot and a second heating means for heating the bottom side face part of the pot and energizing them. SOLUTION: The first heating means 2 is arranged at the bottom surface part of the pot 1 and the second heating means 3 is arranged at the bottom side face part of the pot 1. Then, the first and second heating means 2 and 3 are respectively energized by the power ratio of 1:2 by energizing time corresponding to a rice cooking amount by detecting a prescribed temperature by a pot temperature detection means 4 in a boiling maintenance process for making the rice absorb water and be gelatinized. In this case, the energizing time of the first and second heating means 2 and 3 is prolonged as the rice cooking amount is increased, and in the case of varying the power ratio of the first and second heating means 2 and 3 by the rice cooking amount, the power ratio of the second heating means 3 is raised as the rice cooking amount is increased.
