A menu selection device for a cooking device is provided which is
constructed such that a single display device may be divided into a menu
guide unit and a menu selection unit. The menu guide unit is used to
display a variety of menus, whereas the menu selection unit is
constructed in the form of a touch screen which allows for selection of a
particular menu from among the menus displayed on the menu guide unit.
Use of a menu guide unit and a menu selection unit within a single
display device makes a greater variety of cooking alternatives available
to a user, while decreasing the size of the touch screen portion of the
menu selection device and decreasing production costs.
