Abstract

A cooking device, wherein, when a roast chicken is selected from a menu displayed on an operating part (81), a centrifugal fan (51) is controlled so as to be rotated in forward direction at a high speed to blow out hot air with a speed of 65 km/h or faster from upper blowout ports (71) and hot air with a speed of 30 km/h or slower from side blowout ports (72) whereby a roast chicken in a heating chamber (3) can be cooked at the high speed and, when a sponge cake is selected from the menu, the centrifugal fan (51) is controlled so as to be rotated in reverse direction at a low speed to blow out hot air with a speed of 30 km/h or slower from the upper blowout ports (71) and hot air with a speed of 40 km/h or slower from the side blowout ports (72) whereby a sponge cake in the heating chamber (3) can be cooked light and fluffy.
