US 2026/0272216 A1 · COOKING MACHINE AND CONTROL METHOD

Abstract

A cooking machine capable of automatically tearing a sealing film includes an shaft with a hook configured to engage with the sealing film of a food container and tear the sealing film during rotation. A method for unwinding a sealing film of a cooking machine controls the shaft to reversely rotate to unwind the sealing film after a cover of the cooking machine is opened, thereby inhibiting the sealing film from falling into a body of the cooking machine. A control method for the cooking machine adjusts, before the cooking machine starts, a position of the hook on the shaft so that the hook faces the sealing film, enabling the hook to engage with the sealing film and facilitating reliable tearing of the sealing film.
