Electric rice cooker and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method of an electric rice cooker. The electric rice cooker comprises a body, an upper cover capable of covering the body, an inner pot disposed in the body, and a froth detector disposed on the upper cover. The control method includes the steps of after starting the electric rice cooker to operate for cooking, enabling the froth detector to detect whether froth in the inner pot reaches a preset rise height; if yes, judging the number of times of the froth reaching the preset rise height or cooking time of the electric rice cooker so as to judge whether the electric rice cooker finishes cooking. The control method ensures cooked food is effective and satisfactory to users even when the users use no measuring cup or graduation of the inner pot, and brings great convenience to users. The invention further discloses the electric rice cooker.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, in particular to a control method of an electric rice cooker and an electric rice cooker. Background technique [0002] At present, when an electric rice cooker is cooking food such as rice, the heating time of the electric rice cooker is generally controlled by the temperature inside the cooker detected by the temperature sensor and the experience value, so as to complete the cooking of the rice. Rice and water are precisely controlled. [0003] However, even if the inner pot of the electric rice cooker has scales and corresponding measuring cups, if the rice to be put in is 1.2 or 1.3 measuring cups, it is impossible to accurately correspond to the amount of water corresponding to the amount of rice, so it is difficult to control the heating time of the electric rice cooker. There is a certain error, and the effect of random portion cannot be achieved, which will lead t...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, even if the inner pot of the electric rice cooker has scales and corresponding measuring cups, if the rice put in is 1.2 or 1.3 measuring cups, it is impossible to accurately correspond to the amount of water corresponding to the amount of rice, so it is difficult to control the heating time of the electric rice cooker. There is a certain error, and the effect of random weight cannot be achieved, which will lead to the deterioration of the effect of the cooked rice and cannot meet the needs of users
