An electric cooker capable of changing between a high-pressure mode and a non-pressure mode and cooking a menu corresponding to the changed mode. The electric cooker includes a main body having an accommodation space therein to receive an inner pot, a lid coupled to the upper portion of the main body to be opened and closed, a pressure conversion part for selecting a high-pressure mode and a non-pressure mode by opening and closing a plurality of discharge paths configured to pass through and to block the gap between the inside of the inner pot and the outside of the lid, a sensor for sensing the high-pressure mode or the non-pressure mode selected by the pressure conversion part, and a controller for determining the pressure mode based on the sensing signal from the sensor among the pressure modes at least including the high-pressure mode and the non-pressure mode.

Electric cooker

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.
