• a container holding unit including a rise-and-fall shaft and a handle, wherein the container holding unit is provided on the upper portion of the cooking counter and configured to hold the cooking container rotatably around a container central axis in a container depth direction, and wherein the handle is configured to assist in moving the container holding unit to rise and fall back and forth around the rise-and-fall shaft as a pivot axis;
• a sink for washing provided in an area of the cooking counter forward of the rise-and-fall shaft of the container holding unit;
• a container heating unit including a heater such that the automated cooking device is configured to heat the ingredient contained in the cooking container while stirring the ingredient using the stir member;
• a container washing unit arranged in the sink for washing and including a plurality of washing nozzles configured to wash the inner wall surface of the cooking container while the cooking container is turned upside down using the handle to move the container holding unit;
• a scraping unit attached to the container washing unit and including a scraper configured to scrape off a dirt adhering to the cooking container after cooking, wherein the scraper is provided in such a manner as to be enclosed by the inner wall surface of the cooking container when the cooking container is arranged in the sink for washing, allowing the inner wall surface of the cooking container and the scraper to abut against each other, and
• a placement unit including a board for plating a plate with the cooked ingredient, wherein the placement unit is provided near the sink for washing such that the board for plating can slide between an open position at which the board for plating leaves an opening portion of the sink for washing open, and a closed position at which the board for plating is spanned across the opening portion of the sink for washing, wherein an opening and closing movement of the board for plating relative to the opening portion of the sink for washing causes the scraper to stand up at the open position and the scraper to lie down at the closed position.
