An electric cooker is configured to cook food in a pressurized state and a non-pressurized state of an inner pot, thereby improving the cooking quality and convenience of use. The electric cooker includes a main body having an inner pot configured to accommodate food and a heating unit; a lid coupled to an upper portion of the main body and opened/closed by an opening/closing unit; and a pressure switching selection unit arranged to pass through the lid and configured to switch or maintain opened/closed states to discharge internal steam from the inner pot by interworking with the opening/closing unit.

Electric cooker

To enable a user to cook both in a pressure state and in a non-pressure state inside the inner pot and thus improve cooking quality and ease of use, the present invention provides an electric cooker including a main body in which an inner pot for accommodating food is installed; a lid coupled to the main body to be opened or closed, in which a passthrough portion is formed; a pressure converter communicating with the passthrough portion, in which a selectively opened/closed state for discharging steam inside the inner pot is maintained; and a pressure-responsive actuators communicating with the passthrough portion and selectively opened/closed depending on a pressure level inside the inner pot in a pressure cooking mode.

An electric cooker is configured to cook in a pressure state and a non-pressure state of an inner pot, thereby improving the cooking quality and convenience of use. The electric cooker includes a main body provided, at an upper end thereof, with a flange portion and configured to accommodate an inner pot therein; a lid coupled to an upper portion of the main body and opened/closed by an opening/closing unit; a locking ring rotated by interworking with the opening/closing unit, selectively engaged with the flange portion, and provided, at an upper surface thereof, with a marker configured to indicate a rotational direction; a pressure switching unit arranged to pass through the lid and opened or closed by interworking with the opening/closing unit to discharge internal steam from the inner pot; a sensor unit configured to sense the marker when the locking ring is rotated to be locked or unlocked; and a control unit that activates power supply to the main body when a sensing signal is received from the sensor unit.

An electric cooker is configured to cook in a pressure state and a non-pressure state of an inner pot, thereby improving the cooking quality and convenience of use. The electric cooker includes a main body configured to accommodate an inner pot; a lid coupled to an upper portion of the main body and having a handle portion provided at one side of an upper portion of the lid to interwork with an inner pot locking unit configured to lock the inner pot; a pressure switching unit arranged to pass through the lid and configured to switch or maintain an opened or closed state to discharge internal steam from the inner pot according to a rotation of the handle portion; and a pressure-responsive operating unit which is selectively opened or closed according to a pressure inside the inner pot in a pressure cooking mode in which the pressure switching unit is closed.
