Abstract
Disclosed herein is a double heating-type pot. The pot includes air inlet holes at an upper portion thereof to introduce heated air into the pot. Further, a guide unit is provided on an outer surface of the pot to efficiently guide heated air to the air inlet holes. Thus, the present invention allows heat conducted through the bottom of the pot and convection heat transferred through the air inlet holes to eliminate a temperature difference between upper and lower portions in the pot, therefore reducing cooking time and evenly heating food.
Claims3
A double heating pot, comprising:
- a container to contain food therein;
- a heating unit extending outward from an upper end of the container, with at least one air inlet hole formed at a predetermined position on the heating unit;
- a seating unit extending upward from an end of the heating unit, and having at least one air outlet hole, with a lid seated on the seating unit;
- and
- a guide unit protruding from an outer surface of the container to guide heated air to the air inlet hole, said guide unit comprising:
- a plurality of circular protrusions concentrically arranged on a bottom of the container and having different diameters;
- a plurality of guide protrusions crossing the circular protrusions to guide heated air;
- at least one guide duct provided on a sidewall of the container to communicate with a space defined between at least two guide protrusions, thus guiding heated air to the air inlet hole;
- and
- air guide gaps provided at predetermined positions on the guide protrusions located between neighboring circular protrusions, and at predetermined positions on the circular protrusions located between guide protrusions, thus guiding the heated air.
