PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly reliable rice cooker in which superheated steam generated in a steam superheating part is supplied to a steam generation part even when the steam in a pot flows back toward the steam generation part, and which can sufficiently prevent a steam generation part from failing.SOLUTION: A rice cooker includes: a rice cooker body; a pot accommodated in the rice cooker body; a steam generation part for generating steam; and a steam superheating part in which one end communicates with the steam generation part and the other end communicates with the inside of the pot, which heats the steam generated in the steam generation part, and which generates superheated steam. Between the steam generation part and the steam superheating part, a check valve is arranged for preventing the steam in the pot from flowing back to the steam generation part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】鍋内の蒸気が蒸気発生部に向かって逆流した場合であっても、蒸気過熱部で発生された過熱蒸気が蒸気発生部に供給され、蒸気発生部が故障してしまうことを十分に防止することができ、信頼性の高い炊飯器の提供。【解決手段】炊飯器本体と、炊飯器本体に収容される鍋と、蒸気を発生させる蒸気発生部と、一端が蒸気発生部に連通するとともに、他端が鍋内に連通しており、蒸気発生部で発生された蒸気を加熱し、過熱蒸気を発生させる蒸気過熱部と、を備え、蒸気発生部と蒸気過熱部との間には、鍋内の蒸気が蒸気発生部へ逆流することを防止する逆止弁が配置されている、炊飯器。【選択図】図３
