Cooking appliance with vapor sensor and compensation for the effect of intermediate food handling on the sensed amount of vapor

摘要

A cooking appliance has a sensor for detecting vapor generated from heated food and a control circuit which controls heating of the food according to signal outputs from the sensor. The control circuit is operated so as to ignore signal outputs from the sensor for a specified period of time after the food is reversed and/or its position is changed before the sensor has detected the heated state detection point to compensate for an accumulation of vapor during the intermediate food handling.
