At the position of the determination result, the determination result data indicating whether the condition matches the normal state (OK) or the condition does not match the abnormal state (NG) is written. Also,
In the case of an abnormal state (NG), for example, a message regarding a countermeasure of "Please reheat food" is displayed as a check NG at the lower part of the display device 23, and the buzzer 43 is sounded. As a result, the worker can quickly carry out appropriate treatment.

The message relating to this countermeasure is set by pressing a message area as shown in FIG. 9 to select from message contents (not shown) set in advance. The message can be set arbitrarily. Also, it is assumed that such a message may be set in association with the food name in the same manner as the check condition.

According to the above configuration, since the temperature management standard is registered in the file of FIG. 13 in correspondence with the food name, the registered temperature management standard is determined by inputting the food name, and the temperature is registered. The control standard allows the food temperature control standard to be easily monitored.

As a result, it becomes possible to easily carry out temperature control for each food without having to input a temperature control standard for each food.

Next, referring to FIG. 15, an example of the temperature control device 17 for controlling the temperature of other types of food items stored in the blast chiller 3 will be described.
Will be described. As described above, eight temperature sensors 18 for detecting the core temperature of food are connected as channels (Ch) 1 and channels (Ch) 3 to 9 to the temperature management device 17 in this embodiment. Is to detect the core temperature of eight types of foods stored in the blast chiller 3 or foods stored at different times.

The temperature recording device 17 (13)
Is set by inputting a food name, a worker name, a device name, a check condition, and the like as described above, and then the CPU 28 switches the display of the display device 23 from the state of FIG. 5 to the state of FIG. 15, a channel 1 area 90, a channel 3 area 91, a channel 4 area 92, and a channel 5 area 93 are arranged in order from the left on the upper left side, and below these, a channel 6 area is also arranged in order from the left. 94, a channel 7 area 95, a channel 8 area 96 and a channel 9 area 97 are provided. In the present embodiment, the number of the temperature sensors 18 for detecting the core temperature of the food is eight, so that eight channel areas are formed in FIG. 15, but when the number of channels is more than eight, May display a channel area that is not displayed on the display screen of FIG. 15 by pressing the next page area 98 formed on the upper right side of FIG.

At the top of the channel areas 90 to 97, horizontally long time bar graphs 90A to 97A are displayed correspondingly. The time bar graphs 90A to 97A show the elapsed time of the food temperature management standard set for each channel. In the present embodiment, the set time 100 is set as the set time after the food is stored in the blast chiller 3. The remaining time up to this point is displayed as being changed over time. Further, the time graphs 90A to 97A show the current detected temperatures.

In the channel areas 90 to 97, vertically long temperature bar graphs 90B to 97B are respectively displayed. The temperature bar graphs 90B to 97B show the changing state from the upper limit temperature to the lower limit temperature of the food temperature management standard set for each channel, and the upper limit temperature is displayed at the upper end of each of the temperature bar graphs 90B to 97B. And the temperature bar graph 90B
The lower limit temperature is displayed at the lower end of the items 97B to 97B. Then, the temperature from the current detected temperature to the lower limit temperature is changed and displayed according to the temperature change. This temperature graph 9
In 0B to 97B, respective channel numbers are displayed.

Thus, in a single cooking appliance in which a plurality of types of foods are cooked, when the temperature is measured by the plurality of temperature sensors 18 corresponding to the respective types of foods, the preset foods are set. It becomes possible to visually recognize the amount of change up to a predetermined time and a predetermined temperature as a temperature management reference. In addition, by displaying the display of each temperature sensor 18 on the same screen, it is possible to easily grasp the temperature transition of a plurality of types of foods inside one cooking appliance.

When any of the channels is in an abnormal state (NG) as a result of checking the food management standards, the CPU 28 gives priority to the channel in the abnormal state (NG) in preference to the display screen shown in FIG. Is switched to the channel (Ch) detailed display screen as shown in FIG. At the lower part of the detailed display screen shown in FIG. 5, for example, a message regarding a countermeasure of “please reheat food” is displayed as a check NG, and the buzzer 43 is sounded.

Thus, the operator recognizes that the abnormal condition has occurred by the buzzer 43, and displays a detailed screen in which the temperature data of the abnormal channel is displayed in association with the elapse of time on the screen displayed on the display device 23. As a result, it is possible to promptly respond to the food in an abnormal state.

In this embodiment, the food temperature control device 17 installed in the blast chiller 3 is described as an embodiment. However, it is assumed that the food temperature management device 17 can be displayed in the convection oven 2 in the same manner.

Next, the CPU 28 presses the storage area 57 in the state of FIG.
2 is written to a floppy disk (not shown) by the floppy disk drive device 27 via the floppy disk control circuit 38. This writing may be performed at a preset time or at a timing at which temperature data is sampled, in addition to the operation of the touch panel.

By writing the file data shown in FIG. 4 to the floppy disk in this manner, the data can be analyzed using an external personal computer or the like.

Next, when the data once written on the floppy disk is read again, the floppy disk is mounted on the floppy disk drive 27 and the display area 56 is pushed from the state of FIG. CPU28
When such an operation is performed, data is read from the floppy disk through the floppy disk drive device 27 and the floppy disk control circuit 38, and written into the D-RAM 44 of the RAM 31.

As described above, since the data read from the floppy disk is written in the D-RAM 44 different from the S-RAM 42 storing the sampled data, the data already stored is destroyed. Without having to re-read the data from the floppy disk.

Then, the CPU 28 reads out the data from the D-RAM 44, processes the data into data for display, and transfers the data to the display device control circuit 37 to display the data stored on the floppy disk again on the display device 23. I do.

Thus, the data once written on the floppy disk can be displayed on the display device 23 and analyzed without using a personal computer as described above.

In the embodiment, the present invention is applied to a cooking apparatus. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is effective for managing food temperature in various situations. Further, the floppy disk shown in the embodiment is not limited thereto, and may be a tape, a compact disk, or the like.
