Apparatus and method for automatically cooking fruit

An automatic cooking apparatus, comprising:

• a cooking cavity that contains food to be cooked and water therein;
• a heating unit that heats the food and the water;
• a gas sensor that detects properties of air inside the cooking cavity;
• and
• a control unit operated to obtain an output of the gas sensor while the food and the water are heated at a preset initial output of the heating unit, to reduce the output of the heating unit to a first reduced output and allow a heated temperature water to be absorbed into the food if the output of the gas sensor reaches a preset value, and then to increase and reduce the output of the heating unit in stages to reduce an amount of the water.

A method for automatic cooking using a cooking apparatus, the cooking apparatus having a cooking cavity that contains food to be cooked and water therein, and a heating unit that heats the food and the water, comprising:

• heating the food and the water at a preset initial output of the heating unit;
• reducing the output of the heating unit to a first reduced output and allowing a heated high temperature water to be absorbed into the food by after the water is boiled;
• and
• increasing and reducing the output of the heating unit in stages to reduce an amount of the water.

A microwave oven that automatically cooks fruit, comprising:

• a cooking cavity that contains fruit to be cooked and water therein;
• a magnetron that heats the fruit and the water;
• a gas sensor that detects properties of air inside the cooking cavity;
• and
• a control unit operated to obtain an output of the gas sensor while the fruit and the water are heated at a preset initial output, to reduce the output of the magnetron to a first reduced output and allow a heated temperature water to be absorbed into the fruit if the output of the gas sensor reaches a preset value, and then to increase and reduce the output of the magnetron in stages to reduce an amount of the water.
