PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooking method utilizing enzyme existing in a food without adding ready-made enzyme, and cooking after an enzyme reaction process so as to increase nutrient components and palatable components more than a usual cooking method.SOLUTION: A cooker includes a heating chamber 6, heating means 9, a heating saucer 11 set above the heating means 9 and used as a heat generator, temperature detecting means 12 detecting temperature in the heating chamber, and control means 16 controlling the heating means 9 based on a signal of the temperature detecting means 12. The heating means is controlled so as to perform a heating step after passing an enzyme reaction step of keeping a pan in an enzyme activating temperature zone for a fixed time, and as a result, nutrient components and palatable components are increased more than a usual cooking method.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】既製の酵素を添加せずに食品に内在する酵素を活用して、酵素反応工程後に加熱調理を行うことで通常の調理法よりも栄養成分と旨み成分の増加を図る。【解決手段】加熱室6と、加熱手段9と、前記加熱手段9の上方に設けられて発熱体となる加熱皿11と、前記加熱室内の温度を検知する温度検知手段12と、前記温度検知手段12の信号をもとに加熱手段9を制御する制御手段16を備えて、鍋内を酵素活性温度帯で一定時間保持する酵素反応工程を経てから加熱工程を行うように加熱手段を制御することで、通常調理法よりも栄養成分と旨み成分が増加させることができる。【選択図】図2
