[0030] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4The steamer assembly of the first embodiment of the present invention includes: a steamer 210, the diameter of the steamer 210 is less than or equal to the diameter of the inner pot 100, and the bottom of the steamer 210 is protruded to form a positioning portion 213; a supporting member 220, and the supporting member 220 is provided with a positioning hole 222; wherein, the supporting member 220 can be placed on the upper end of the inner pot 100, the positioning hole 222 matches the positioning portion 213, and the positioning portion 213 is plugged into the positioning hole 222.

[0032] When in use, the support member 220 is placed above the inner pot 100, and then the positioning portion 213 is plugged into the positioning hole 222 to place the steamer 210 on the support member 220 to achieve the steaming function. When storing, the support member 220 is removed, and then the steamer 210 is nested into the inner pot 100, and then the support member 220 and the cover 300 are placed on the steamer 210 to achieve the storage of the steamer 210, thereby reducing the packaging volume of the cooking utensil, reducing the loss of packaging consumables, and reducing transportation costs.

[0033] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 A plurality of drainage holes 215 are provided in the steamer 210 . When food is cooked, condensed water flows back into the inner pot 100 from the drainage holes 215 of the steamer 210 .

[0034] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 The bottom wall of the steamer 210 is provided with a plurality of recesses 214 , and drainage holes 215 are partially arranged in the recesses 214 . The recesses 214 allow the condensed water to be concentrated in the recesses 214 and then discharged through the drainage holes 215 , thereby improving the collection and reflux efficiency of the condensed water.

[0035] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper end surface of the supporting member 220 is protruded with a first limiting portion 221, which is used to stabilize the steamer 210. The first limiting portion 221 is arranged around the steamer 210 to prevent the steamer 210 from loosening and falling when the steamer 210 is plugged into the supporting member 220.

[0036] The cooking utensil of the second embodiment of the present invention includes an inner pot 100, a cover 300 and a steamer assembly of the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein the supporting member 220 is arranged at the upper end of the inner pot 100, the steamer 210 is arranged at the upper end of the supporting member 220, and the cover 300 is adapted to the steamer 210 and the inner pot 100.

[0037] When in use, the support member 220 is placed above the inner pot 100, and then the positioning portion 213 is plugged into the positioning hole 222 to place the steamer 210 on the support member 220 to achieve the steaming function. When storing, the support member 220 is removed, and then the steamer 210 is nested into the inner pot 100, and then the support member 220 and the cover 300 are placed on the steamer 210 to achieve the storage of the steamer 210, thereby reducing the packaging volume of the cooking utensil, reducing the loss of packaging consumables, and at the same time reducing transportation costs.

[0038] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 The side wall of the inner liner 100 is bent to form a supporting portion 120, which matches the supporting member 220. By installing the supporting member 220 to the upper end of the inner liner 100, the supporting portion 120 supports the supporting member 220. At the same time, the supporting member 220 can be nested on the inner side of the inner liner 100, so that the supporting member 220 is stably installed on the inner liner 100.

[0039] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 The inner liner 100 is provided with a handle 110 to facilitate picking up the inner liner 100.

[0040] It is understood that the upper end of the steamer 210 protrudes outward to form a support portion 211, the lid 300 is placed on the support portion 211, and the supporting member 220 can be placed on the support portion 211. When the lid 300 is placed on the steamer 210, the support portion 211 supports the lid 300. When the steamer 210 is stored in the inner container 100, the support portion 211 supports the supporting member 220.

[0041] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A second stopper 212 is disposed above the support portion 211. The second stopper 212 is generally annular and mates with both the lid 300 and the support member 220. When the lid 300 is placed on the steamer 210, the second stopper 212 holds the lid 300 in place, preventing it from sliding off. When the steamer 210 is stored, the support member 220 is mounted on the support portion 211. The second stopper 212 prevents the support member 220 from shifting, preventing it from sliding off the steamer 210.

[0042] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 4 A limit member 310 is provided on the edge of the lid 300. When the lid 300 is flipped over and placed on the support member 220, the limit member 310 abuts against the first limit portion 221. After the steamer 210 is stored, the lid 300 is flipped over and placed on the steamer 210, so that the center of gravity of the lid 300 is located within the steamer 210, improving the stability of the lid 300. The contact between the limit member 310 and the first limit portion 221 prevents the lid 300 from shifting, thereby improving the stability of the package.

[0043] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
