Abstract: GATDULA, NOEMI O. and GLORIANI JASMIN A. "Design and Testing of a Microcontroller Based Steam Cooker". Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2005: Advisers: Mrs. Marivic Dizon and Engr. Jaime. Q. Dilidili. The study aimed to design and construct a microcontroller-based steam cooker. The steam cooker was composed of two major components; the controller unit and the steam cooker. The controller unit was the electronic and computer part of the system, which controls the operation of the machine. It was a sensor device system with temperature and water level sensor that sensed the temperature and level of water inside the cooking cylinder. The steam cooker was composed of cooking cylinder that accommodate the container of the product to be cooked and the gas and water supply systems. The software was developed using C-H- programming language. The software governed and directed the microcontroller to perform the desired process. The system was evaluated and the following data were gathered: water flow rate, gas regulation period and gas consumption -which were all associated with time. Evaluation of the system revealed the following: An average of 8.1 x 10'5 litter of water was supplied into the steam cooker, which can be translated into the amount of a steam that evaporated. On one hand, the recorded time by which the gas valve remained open/ON was 31.84 seconds and the time it was closed/OFF was 53.36 seconds. This scenario can be inferred to a continuous cooking with a continuous flame. However, automation helped by regulating the flame without sacrificing the available water temperature inside the cooking cylinder. The times spend when the flow was OFF can be translated into gas savings. With automation, the gas consumption would be 622.58 grams in 1 hour and 45 minutes and without automation the gas consumption would be 907.2 grams in 1 hour and 45 minutes. The performance of the improved system was comparably better than that of the conventional system. The microcontroller-based steam cooker hastened the steaming process.
