Abstract

A device for filtering the smoke produced by a cooker is provided. The cooker has a main body having an upper cover, and receives an inner pot. The main body has a rear holding part having a receiving room communicating with a vent aperture formed between the inner pot and the main body. The upper cover is pivoted to a support member formed on top of the holding part. The holding part has a rear opening. The filtering device includes a curved net fitted to the support member, thus allowing smoke to travel from the vent aperture into the receiving room. The filtering device further has a fan, a rear net, and a filter cotton. The fan is disposed in the receiving room, and faces the rear opening. The rear net is fixedly disposed in the rear opening. The filter cotton is disposed on an inner side of the rear net. When the fan is turned on, smoke produced by the cooker is made to travel through the curved net, the filter cotton as well as the rear net from the vent aperture for the soot in the smoke to be absorbed by the same.
