To provide a rice cooker capable of determining whether or not a pot in which rice is put at the time of cooking has been taken care of after the cooking.SOLUTION: A rice cooker 1 includes: a housing 3; a pot 2 that can be stored in the housing 3 and can be removed from the housing; a supply part 500 for supplying rice and water inside the pot 2 stored in the housing 3; a heating part 81 for heating the pot 2 stored in the housing 3; an estimation part for outputting estimation information for estimating that there is no more material to be cooked inside the pot 2; and a control part 20 for executing a rice cooking process in which the supply part 500 is controlled to supply rice and water inside the pot 2, and the heating part 81 is controlled to heat the pot 2. When it is estimated that there is no more material to be cooked inside the pot 2 after the previous rice cooking process is finished on the basis of the acquired estimation information, the control part 20 executes the next rice cooking process, and when it is not estimated that there is no more material to be cooked inside the pot 2 after the previous rice cooking process is finished, the control part does not execute the next rice cooking process.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 【課題】炊飯時に米が収容される鍋が炊飯後に手入れされたことを判別することができる炊飯器を提供する。【解決手段】本開示に係る炊飯器１は、筐体３と、筐体３に収容及び取り外し可能な鍋２と、筐体３に収容された鍋２内に米及び水を供給する供給部５００と、筐体３に収容された鍋２を加熱する加熱部８１と、鍋２内の炊飯物が無くなったことを推定するための推定情報を出力する推定部と、供給部５００を制御して米及び水を鍋２内に供給させてから加熱部８１を制御して鍋２を加熱させる炊飯工程を実行する制御部２０とを備える。制御部２０は、取得した推定情報に基づいて、前回の炊飯工程の終了以降で鍋２内の炊飯物が無くなったことが推定された場合、次の炊飯工程を実行し、前回の前記炊飯工程の終了以降で鍋２内の炊飯物が無くなったことが推定されない場合、次の炊飯工程を実行しない。【選択図】図１２
