ELECTRIC POT

PURPOSE:To keep an oil temperature close to a set temperature by arranging an oil temperature sensor for detecting the oil temperature, a heater temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of a heater, and a controller for forecasting the oil temperature after a specified time, from a difference between the oil temperature and heater temperature measured with the sensors, and controlling the generated heat quantity of the heater. CONSTITUTION:In a frying pot, a heater temperature sensor 11 for measuring a heater temperature close to a heater 3 is set, and on the internal surface of a pot 2, an oil temperature sensor 12 for measuring an oil temperature is set. By a processor 13, temperature information fed from the temperature sensor are stored and are discriminated to be compared with a set temperature, and according to its result, a temperature controlling switch 10 is worked, the heater is turned ON or OFF. When the heater temperature TH gets higher than the oil temperature TO by 60 deg.C or higher, then there is the possibility of the oil temperature TO which rises continuously due to the extra heat of the heater even if the heater 3 is turned OFF, and so a device is controlled so that a difference between the heater temperature TH and the oil temperature TO cannot exceed 60 deg.C.
