The embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, identical or equivalent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted. 1. First Embodiment 1.1 Home Appliance System Figure 1 is a block diagram of the home appliance system according to the first embodiment. The home appliance system 1 of the first embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 1, comprises a first cooker 11, a second cooker 12, a terminal 13, and a server 14. The second cooker 12 is a different cooker from the first cooker 11. The first cooking appliance 11, the second cooking appliance 12, the terminal 13, and the server 14 are connected to the network 21 and communicate with each other via the network 21. Each cooking appliance 31 of the first cooking appliance 11 and the second cooking appliance 12 cooks the food to be cooked. Each cooking appliance 31 transmits the details of its operation to the server 14. Each cooking appliance 31 receives instructions from the server 14. In this embodiment, each cooking appliance 31 is an automatic cooking pot. Each cooking appliance 31 may be a cooking appliance other than an automatic cooking pot. For example, each cooking appliance 31 may be a rice cooker, microwave oven, oven range, toaster, hot plate, cooking heater, coffee maker, bread maker, juicer, mixer, roaster, fryer, mochi maker, etc. The second cooking appliance 12 is an example of an appliance that can be used simultaneously with the first cooking appliance 11, and the food cooked by the second cooking appliance 12 is an example of food processed by said appliance.
