Abstract
A cooking assistance device for use with a microwave oven comprising a card reader for reading a menu data recorded in a card, a memory unit in which data representing the quantity of foodstuff materials to be heated by said oven and heating processes are stored, and a control unit for reading data from said memory unit in response to the menu data. A character code generator provides conversion of the data read from said memory unit into a character code which is fed into a mini-printer mounted in said oven to provide a print out of characters on a recording medium. A data input key is also provided for entry or alteration of data representing the quantity of servings. A power controller determines the power level and heating interval of the foodstuff based on the stored and keyboard input data and accordingly controls the heating operation.
