An apparatus includes at least one of an actuator or a heater, and a controller that controls the at least one of the actuator or the heater. The controller: obtains an application defined by a plurality of blocks that drive the at least one of the actuator or the heater, each of the plurality of blocks including a parameter for driving the at least one of the actuator or the heater; consults a first rule that defines a first parameter range within which the at least one of the actuator or the heater is not permitted to be driven, and modifies the application by changing at least one block included in the plurality of blocks, the at least one block including a parameter included in the first parameter range; and drives the at least one of the actuator or the heater based on the modified application.

A cooking device includes a microwave generator, a cooking chamber wall delimiting a cooking chamber, in which a through opening is provided, and a cooking chamber sieve associated with the through opening. At least one intermediate element is provided between the cooking chamber wall and the cooking chamber sieve, which serves to mount the cooking chamber sieve to the cooking chamber wall. The at least one intermediate element is configured such that the generation of electric arcs between the cooking chamber wall and the cooking chamber sieve is prevented.

A cooking apparatus includes a main body having a cooking chamber, a coupler having a pair of pressure surfaces and rotatably provided, and a tray provided-to-be withdrawn from the cooking chamber by sliding movement. The tray has a pair of seating projections each capable of being brought into contact with the pair of pressure surfaces and being rotatably pushed by the coupler. Therefore it is possible to easily switch between the rotatable state of the tray and the state of sliding movement of the tray.

A heating cooking apparatus (100) includes a heating cooking chamber (100A), a microwave supply unit (15), and a pull-out body (2). The microwave supply unit (15) includes a microwave generation unit (151) configured to generate microwaves, a radiation port (15C) for radiating the microwaves into the heating cooking chamber (100A), and a waveguide (152) positioned below the heating cooking chamber (100A) and configured to guide the microwaves from the microwave generation unit (151) to the radiation port (15C). The pull-out body (2) includes a pull-out main body on which the object (H) to be heated is placed, and a support member (25) positioned below the heating cooking chamber (100A) and configured to support the pull-out main body. The support member (25) extends in a first direction (D1). The support member (25) and the waveguide (152) are positioned at different positions in a second direction (D2) intersecting the first direction (D1) and a vertical direction.

An oven door interlock system configured to selectively block a switch based on a position of an oven door may include a switch, a reference hinge attached to the oven door, the door movable between an open position and a closed position, and a locking mechanism connected to the switch via a rod, the locking mechanism including a hinge receiver connected to the reference hinge attached to the oven door, the reference hinge including a cam configured to move along a first axis in response to actuation at the oven door and to affect movement of the rod along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis on a position of the oven door to selectively block access to the switch when the oven door is in the open position.

A cooking-learning support system includes a storage, an information presenter, and a controller. The storage stores a recipe including at least one cooking process, a cooking element that is one of an ingredient for cooking, a cooking method for the ingredient, and a combination of the ingredient and the cooking method, and a cooking-element reference level of the cooking element. The information presenter presents the recipe. The controller calculates a recipe reference level corresponding to the recipe, based on the cooking-element reference level of the cooking element corresponding to the cooking process in the recipe, and causes the information presenter to present the calculated recipe reference level along with the recipe. A cooking-learning support method is implemented in the cooking-learning support system.
