## Abstract

The present invention discloses a programmable controlled intelligent cooking machine which is adapted for running a recipe program programmed with all general recipe commands, interpreting the recipe program according to the command sequence and executing corresponding cooking operations according to each command and thereby achieving full-automatic cooking. The present invention further discloses a cooking control method of the programmable controlled intelligent cooking machine.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cooking control method of a programmable controlled intelligent cooking machine, comprising:
running a recipe program programmed with any general recipe commands; and
interpreting the recipe program according to the command sequence and executing the corresponding cooking operations according to each command so as to automatically complete the cooking process of the dishes;
the programmable controlled intelligent cooking machine comprises a housing and a wok arranged inside of the housing, a wok rotating device, a wok working position controlling device, a wok lid and a wok lid controlling device, an electromagnetic heating controlling device, an automatic ingredient feeding device, an automatic accessory ingredient adding device and an electrical control device;
the electrical control device is used for receiving preset recipe command and sending corresponding control command according to the recipe command;
the wok rotating device, the wok working position controlling device, the wok lid controlling device, the electromagnetic heating controlling device, the automatic ingredient feeding device and the automatic accessory ingredient adding device are connected with the electrical control device, respectively, and perform corresponding operation according to the received control command, whereby realizing full-automatic cooking;
wherein the cooking control method further comprises:
when the recipe program is interpreted to execute a feeding command, the wok lid controlling device is controlled to pull back the wok lid so as to open the wok, the wok working position controlling device is controlled to rotate the wok to a major ingredient feeding working position, and then the automatic ingredient feeding device is controlled to place the major ingredient stocked in corresponding compartment of a standard package box into the wok according to the feeding command;
when the recipe program is interpreted to execute a heat-adjusting command, the electromagnetic heating controlling device is controlled to heat the wok according to heat-adjusting command;
