[0040] (Embodiment) Referring to FIGS. 1 to 2, the cooking pot for a microwave oven includes a heat - resistant outer shell 1, an inner pot 2, a sealing ring, a pot lid 3, and a semi - surrounding heating layer 4. The heat - resistant outer shell 1 is fitted on the outside of the inner pot 2. A sealing ring is provided between the inner pot 2 and the heat - resistant outer shell 1. The sealing ring includes an upper sealing ring 5 fitted on the opening edge of the inner pot 1 and a lower sealing ring provided inside the bottom opening of the heat - resistant outer shell 1. The pot lid 3 is adapted to the upper sealing ring 5. A stepped structure 6 is provided at the bottom of the inner pot 2. The semi - surrounding heating layer 4 has an open upper end and surrounds the outside of the inner pot 2. The semi - surrounding heating layer 4 extends from the bottom of the inner pot 2 to the stepped structure 6 of the inner pot 2. The bottom of the semi - surrounding heating layer 4 is connected to the opening at the bottom of the heat - resistant outer shell 1. In this embodiment, the heat - resistant outer shell 1 is a plastic outer shell. Here, the heat - resistant outer shell 1 can effectively prevent burns and can also extend the heat - preservation time. The pot lid 3 is a metal pot lid, and the inner pot 2 is a metal inner pot. The upper sealing ring 5 and the lower sealing ring are both silicone rubber sealing rings. Specifically, the pot lid 3 is an iron pot lid and is provided with a baked paint layer on the outer surface.

[0041] The anti-scald outer shell 1 is hermetically connected to the inner pot 2 via the upper seal ring 5. Here, the seal ring can play a role in fixing the inner pot 2 and the anti-scald outer shell 1 to make them more robust and firm. It can also play a good buffering role so that the inner pot 2 and the anti-scald outer shell 1 do not scratch each other. When pouring out the liquid in the inner pot 2, the seal ring can play a sealing role so that it is difficult to penetrate between the inner pot 2 and the anti-scald outer shell 1. The seal ring can prevent the phenomenon of sparks occurring between the inner pot 2 and the pot lid 3 in the microwave oven. In this embodiment, both the upper seal ring 5 and the lower seal ring are in close contact between the anti-scald outer shell 1 and the inner pot 2. A flange 7 protruding outward is provided at the opening edge of the inner pot 2, and a groove is provided in the flange 7. The upper seal ring 5 is removably connected to the groove.

The semi-surrounding heating layer 4 is an integrally formed structure. In this embodiment, since the semi-surrounding heating layer 4 is integrally formed by a heat vulcanization process, the semi-surrounding heating layer 4 and the inner pot 2 are more closely adhered. Here, since the bottom of the semi-surrounding heating layer 4 is connected to the opening at the bottom of the anti-scald outer shell 1, it is more advantageous for absorbing microwave energy and converting it into heat energy. Here, the semi-surrounding heating layer 4 is manufactured by further compounding a microwave absorbing material by a heat vulcanization process. The semi-surrounding heating layer 4 plays a role in absorbing the electromagnetic wave emitted from the microwave oven and converting it into heat energy. In this embodiment, the semi-surrounding heating layer 4 is made of a microwave absorbing and heat conducting silicone composite material formed by the composite of a silicone matrix and a metal powder having microwave absorbing performance and heat transfer performance.
