Abstract
A method for controlling microwave output depending upon food weight and food position so as to implement optimized cooking performance in a microwave oven and an apparatus for performing the same. According to the control method for cooking food placed on a turntable in a microwave oven, the control method includes detecting a plurality of sensing values generated based on the food weight during the rotation of the turntable, detecting a food position by comparing the detected sensing values, and controlling the microwave output based on the detected food position.
Claims20
A control method for cooking food placed on a turntable in a microwave oven, comprising:
- detecting a plurality of sensing values generated according to a weight of food to be cooked during the rotation of the turntable;
- detecting a food position by comparing the detected sensing values;
- and
- controlling the microwave output based on the detected food position.
A controlling apparatus of a microwave oven for cooking food placed on a turntable, comprising:
- a weight sensor to detect a plurality of sensing values generated according to food weight during a rotation of the turntable;
- and
- a controller to detect the food position by comparing the detected sensing values, and to control the microwave output based on the detected food position.
A method for controlling a microwave oven having a weight sensor and a plurality of rollers, the method comprising:
- detecting a weight of food by sensing a plurality of values each generated when a respective roller travels across the weight sensor;
- determining a position of the food based upon a comparison between the plurality of values sensed;
- and
- controlling an output of the microwave based upon the determined position of the food.
