[0044] The cooking appliance 100 provided by the present invention includes a steam generating device 110 and a steamer 130. The steamer 130 is detachably disposed on the steam generating device 110.

[0045] Wherein, the steam generating device 110 includes a first heating chamber 112, a second heating chamber 114, a first heating element 116 and a second heating element 118. The first heating element 116 is used to heat the first heating chamber 112, and the second heating element 118 is used to heat the second heating chamber 114. That is, the first heating chamber 112 and the second heating chamber 114 can generate steam independently. The steamer 130 includes a first cavity 132 and a second cavity 134. The first cavity 132 and the second cavity 134 are used to place food ingredients. The first cavity 132 is in communication with the first heating chamber 112, and the second cavity 134 is in communication with the second heating chamber 114. Furthermore, it is possible to control whether to supply steam to the first cavity 132 by controlling the first heating element 116, and control whether to supply steam to the second cavity 134 by the second heating element 118, so as to realize the cooking appliance 100 to cook multiple food ingredients simultaneously and reduce the possibility of flavor mixing between food ingredients.

[0046] Moreover, the cooking appliance 100 further includes a controller 150. Both the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 are electrically connected to the controller 150. The first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 can operate independently without affecting each other. The user can perform a first input on the cooking appliance 100. In response to the user's first input, the controller 150 controls the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 to stop working simultaneously, so as to achieve simultaneous ripening of different cavities and improve the cooking effect of the cooking appliance 100.

[0047] Among them, the user can perform a first input on the cooking appliance 100. The first input can be made by the user through the control panel 170 on the cooking appliance 100, or by the user through a remote control, mobile phone, tablet computer or other intelligent terminal in a networked manner.

[0048] In some embodiments, optionally, the controller 150 is further configured to set a first operating parameter of the first heating element 116 in response to a second input from the user; the controller 150 is further configured to set a second operating parameter of the second heating element 118 in response to a third input from the user.

[0049] In this embodiment, the user can perform a second input on the cooking appliance 100. In response to the user's second input, the controller 150 sets a first operating parameter of the first heating element 116. The user can perform a third input on the cooking appliance 100.

[0054] When the controller 150 controls the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 to stop operating simultaneously in response to the user's first input, specifically, when the first operating duration is different from the second operating duration, the controller 150 determines the magnitude relationship between the first operating duration and the second operating duration in response to the user's first input, and according to the magnitude relationship between the two, controls the heating element with the longer operating duration among the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 to start operating first. Then, calculate the remaining operating duration of the heating element with the longer operating duration among the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118. After the remaining operating duration of the heating element with the longer operating duration among the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 is equal to the operating duration of the other one of the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118, control the other one of the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 to start operating, thereby achieving the simultaneous stop of the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118. That is, by controlling the heating element with the longer operating duration to operate first and the heating element with the shorter operating duration to operate later, the purpose of the simultaneous stop of the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 is achieved.

[0055] When the first operating duration is the same as the second operating duration, the controller 150 controls the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 to operate simultaneously in response to the user's first input, thereby achieving the simultaneous stop of the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118.

[0056] That is, by adjusting the start time of the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 through the first operating duration and the second operating duration, the effect of the simultaneous stop of the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 is achieved.

[0080] There is a one-key simultaneous cooking button 160 on the control panel 170 of the cooking appliance 100. After the user sets it, it can ensure that the food in the first cavity 132 and the second cavity 134 is cooked according to the programs of their respective recipes, and the effect of simultaneous cooking can be achieved.

[0081] Since the steam sources and steam channels in the first cavity 132 and the second cavity 134 are independent of each other, when the user sets the recipe programs in the first cavity 132 and the second cavity 134, makes the first input through the one-key simultaneous cooking button 160, and starts cooking, the program will automatically start the cavity with a longer working time first for cooking. At this time, the heating element corresponding to this cavity heats up to generate steam to heat this cavity. When the remaining working time of this cavity is equal to the working time of the other cavity, the heating program of the other cavity is started. At this time, the heating element corresponding to this cavity heats up, and finally ensures that the food in the first cavity 132 and the second cavity 134 is steamed at the same time, the first cavity 132 and the second cavity 134 are cooked at the same time, and the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 are turned off at the same time.

[0082] For example, the food placed in the first cavity 132 is spareribs, the first working duration is 25 min, the food placed in the second cavity 134 is fish, the second working duration is 12 min. After setting the recipe program and pressing the one-key simultaneous cooking button 160 to start, the first heating element 116 starts heating. The steam enters the first cavity 132 through the first heating cavity 112 to start cooking the spareribs. At this time, the second heating element 118 does not work. After heating for 13 min, the remaining working time of the first cavity 132 coincides with the second working duration of the second cavity 134, then the second heating element 118 is started. At this time, the first heating element 116 continues to work. Finally, after continuing to heat for 12 min, the food in the first cavity 132 and the second cavity 134 are cooked at the same time, and the first heating element 116 and the second heating element 118 are turned off simultaneously.
