Technical Problem
Existing cooking appliances, such as rice cookers, do not provide a way to safely determine the temperature of the inner pot after a drying course, posing a risk of burns due to the inability to visually assess the temperature, as steam is not generated when moisture is absent.
Method used
A cooking appliance with a display means to select between a first cleaning course for boiling and a second cleaning course for drying, and to display the remaining time of the selected course, equipped with temperature sensors and a control system to manage heating elements.
Benefits of technology
Enables safe operation by allowing users to select and monitor the cleaning courses, providing visual feedback on the remaining time, thereby reducing the risk of burns from the inner pot.
