The temperature sensor 3, the operation sensing module 4, the timer 6 and the heater 5 are electrically connected with the main control chip 1. The heater 5 is configured for heating the heating chamber 2. The main control chip 1 controls the heater 5, the temperature sensor 3, the operation sensing module 4 and the timer 6 in the food processor 100.

Step S20, if the food processor generates the initiation instruction for detecting the boiling point based on external actions during the preset time period, starting a pre-stored process for detecting the boiling point, to obtain the boiling point of water inside the food processor at a current location;

When the main control chip 1 detects the food processor is powered on and the timer 6 starts to count, the main control chip 1 detects whether the operation sensing module 4 in the food processor generates a control instruction based on external actions that may be user′ press operation or touch operation, judging whether the operation sensing module 4 generates the control instruction based on external actions during a preset time period counted by the timer 6. In which, the operation sensing module 4 may be an inductive circuit and physical keys or virtue keys as combined, the virtue keys are visualized and shown on specific areas of the display screen. If the main control chip 1 detects that the operation sensing module 4 has generated the control instruction during a preset time period, then the control instruction is analyzed to judge whether the control instruction matches up with the initiation instruction for detecting the boiling point, if it does, the main control chip 1 starts the preset process of detecting the boiling point to obtain the current boiling point of the water inside the food processor at a current location.
