Is displaced between the regulation position that regulates the placement position of the cooking target placed on the placement plate 2 on the upper surface 1a of the case 1 to the inside of the heat shield plate 4 and the regulation release position on the outside thereof. . Since the arm portion 63a located between the hanging portion 41a of the heat shield plate 4 and the upper surface 1a of the case 1 is a thin plate member in the vertical direction, it does not hinder the closing of the heating plate 3 at the regulated position, and the heat shield The heat shield effect of the plate 4 is also maintained. Since the regulation frame 66 does not regulate the placement position of the cooking target at the regulation releasing position, the cooking target is not restricted by its shape.

FIG. 11 shows another embodiment of the regulation frame. The regulation frame is composed of a recessed step portion 67 which is formed by the mounting plate 2 being formed in a downward direction from the inner peripheral side of the upper surface 1a of the case 1. The placement position of the food to be cooked is regulated inside the heat shield plate 4. In this case, since the regulation frame can be configured only by forming the paragraph extending downward from the inner peripheral side of the upper surface 1a of the case 1 to be larger than the thickness of the mounting plate 2, it is necessary to prepare the frame body as a separate member of the case 1. The structure is simplified.

[0025]

Since it is regulated, when closing the heating plate to the position facing the mounting plate,
The heat shield plate that is rotated and lowered together with the heating plate does not damage the surface of the food. If the regulation frame has regulation frame displacement means for displacing between the regulation position inside the heat shield plate and the regulation release position outside thereof, the shape and size of the food to be cooked will not fit within the regulation frame. When the placement position of the object to be cooked is not regulated, such as when having the above, the cooking is not hindered.

If the regulation frame displacement means is composed of a pivot member that pivotally pivots the regulation frame to the regulation release position with respect to the mounting plate, the regulation frame is rotated when the regulation frame is not used. It is only necessary to handle the regulation frame. If the regulation frame is attachable to and detachable from the mounting plate, the regulation frame displacement means can be omitted and the regulation frame can be easily handled when the regulation frame is not used. If the regulation frame is a recessed step portion formed by paragraphing the central portion of the mounting plate, it is not necessary to prepare the regulation frame as a separate member of the main body case, and the configuration is simplified.

If the heat shield plate is provided with a horizontal wall on the lower side of the heat shield plate, the space between the mount plate and the heat shield plate is more reliably blocked and shielded. The heat effect is improved.
