Abstract

Cooking device which requires a lesser amount of data for preparation of a menu necessary to be pre-memorized and which can use a memory having a small capacity. The cooking device (breadmaking device) is provided with a transformation means which transforms a menu number set by a menu set means to the binary digit data having a fixed bit length, and a control data preparation means in which a cord which is able to show the transformed binary digit data by a fixed bit number when the above binary digit data is divided to each fixed bit number, is allowed to correspond to a parameter level of a step control variable, and the above data is read out from the data table which memorizes the data of each step corresponding to the above parameter level based upon the above code and transforms the above read-out data to the control data.
