PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooker capable of dispensing a predetermined amount of cooked items through a less-expensive structure irrespective of a viscosity of each of the cooked items.SOLUTION: The cooker includes a container 4, a pump 11 acting as a dispensing means for use in dispensing cooked items in the container 4 and a control means 51 for use in controlling an operation of the pump 11, wherein the pump 11 is constituted by a tube pump capable of discharging fluid even if the fluid shows a high viscosity. With such an arrangement as above, although the cooked items within the container 4 are dispensed out of it under an operation of the tube pump, the tube pump can dispense the cooked items smoothly out of the container despite a simple structure irrespective of a viscosity of the cooked items even if the cooked items have a high viscosity.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】被調理物の粘度に拘らず、安価な構造で所定量の被調理物を吐出できる調理器を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の調理器は、容器4と、容器4内の被調理物を外部に吐出する吐出手段としてのポンプ11と、ポンプ11の動作を制御する制御手段51と、を備え、粘度の高い流体でも吐出が可能なチューブポンプによりポンプ11を構成している。こうすると、容器4内の被調理物はチューブポンプを動作することで外部に吐出されるが、このチューブポンプは簡単な構造でありながら、粘度の高い被調理物であっても、被調理物の粘度に拘らず、被調理物を円滑に外部に吐出できる。【選択図】図3
