A method, for controlling a mixer that mixes materials through rotation of an impeller while a solvent contained in the materials is evaporated under negative pressure, performs a process in which the mixer is operated while the pressure inside the mixer is increased or decreased according to a predetermined profile. When a power value of the impeller exceeds a predetermined upper limit during the operation of the mixer, the pressure inside the mixer is increased. When the power value falls below a predetermined lower limit during the operation of the mixer, the pressure inside the mixer is decreased.
