Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking appliances, and particularly relates to a multifunctional cooking device. Background Art
[0002] An air fryer mainly uses air to replace the hot oil in a frying pan, gradually cooking the food to be cooked; at the same time, the hot air also blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, making the ingredients achieve an effect similar to frying. The basic working principle of an air fryer is the "high-speed air circulation technology". Hot air is generated by heating the heating tube inside the machine at a high temperature, and then the hot air is blown into the pot by a blower to heat the food, so that the hot air circulates in a closed space, frying the food using the oil in the food itself, thereby dehydrating the food and making the surface golden and crispy, achieving the frying effect.
[0003] An air oven usually cooks food by heating air. Due to slightly different heating methods, its applicable range is also different from that of an air fryer.
[0004] In order to facilitate users' use and appropriately increase the applicable range of cooking equipment, in some existing technical solutions, an air fryer and an air oven are integrated into one cooking device, so that the cooking requirements of multiple functional modes can be realized; although the above technical solutions achieve the cooking requirements of multiple functional modes to a certain extent, however, when using or replacing different cooking utensils, it is usually necessary to operate the corresponding control panel to adapt and adjust the corresponding cooking mode; when the cooking utensil is not placed or is placed incorrectly, the cooking device may be in an operating state, that is, the device is in an empty burning state, resulting in waste of some electric energy and having certain potential safety hazards.
