Abstract

An electric dual and quick cooking utensil includes, as usual, an outer casing, an inner pot movably provided in the outer casing, and a hood detachably coupled with the upper rim of the outer casing with respect to the inner pot. In addition to a grip and a plurality of air vents integrally formed thereto, the hood includes a metal hub, a hollow pipe, and a first heater respectively installed therein for baking operation. A pair of magnetic-type switches separately installed on the hood and the outer casing for providing power supply to the first heater. A hollow base is integrally coupled with the lower portion of the outer casing with a plurality of plates separately provided in the upper portion of the hollow base. A second heater and a blowing fan are respectively disposed on the plates, and a sensing device coupled with an IC board is installed in a round plate in conjunction with the inner pot. A selective switch electrically connected to the contact switches, the second heater, the IC board and a retractable power plug is installed on the upper outer side wall of the base, thereby, cooking or baking can be conveniently set at any time for safe operations.
