In this example, the outer periphery of the installation portion 34 is extended upward, and the lid 12 is placed thereon. It is intended to be placed. In order to improve the installation of the lid 12, it is preferable that the outer end of the lid 12 extends to the full receiving portion of the pan receiving portion 14. However, when the installation portion 34 is extended upward in this manner, this portion is Since the shape can be the same as that of the lid receiving portion 14 of the main body 10, the above-mentioned becomes possible.

FIG. 6 is a partial side sectional view of a cooking pot showing another example of the accessory pot 28, and FIG. 7 is a partial plan view. 40 is a droop. The steam generated during cooking is
Adheres to the back surface of the box, slides it down, and falls on the flange portion 32. This water is dropped into the box 40 to promote re-evaporation. The number of the boxes 40 may be about one or two. In this case, if the flange portion 32 is inclined downward toward the boxes 40, the flow of moisture into the boxes 40 is promoted.

In addition, although not shown, the installation portion 34 is attached to the shoulder of the lid receiving portion 14 inside the lid 12 with the attached pan 28 or the installation portion Such a box 40 may be attached even to the accessory pot 28 in which the outer periphery of the extension 34 is extended upward.

The accessory pan 28 is made of a multi-layer or single-layer metal plate, and is generally formed by pressing. Further, in the above example, the diameter of the bottom of the pot portion 30 is set to be equal to or less than 径 of the diameter of the pot main body 10, but this is an example, and this is an example. Various sizes are prepared.

When such an accessory pot 28 is used, frying can be performed in a short time using a small amount of oil. For example, when a small amount of birds are to be fried, this accessory pot 28 is inserted into the pot body 10, oil is added to the bottom of the pot portion 30, and when the temperature rises, ingredients are added and the lid 12 is placed. And cook. In addition, when cooking using oil with the lid 12 is performed, as described in Japanese Patent No. 1929192 of the present applicant, the amount of oil to be put into the container is extremely small, and the amount to float the food is unnecessary. It is. In addition, fried food with a good taste can be obtained.

During the cooking, the moisture in the food material flies and flies, but is safe because of the lid 12. In addition, a part of the generated steam breaks the fluid seal and escapes to the outside, but a part of the generated steam adheres to the back surface of the lid 12 and becomes a water droplet and slides down the surface. The water droplets that slide down on the back surface of the lid 12 fall from near the end, but fall below the flange portion 32 of the accessory pot 28 because it exists below the edge.

In this case, since the flange portion 32 has a downward slope, the water dropped on the flange portion 32 does not fall into the pot portion 30 and is safe. If the lower ridge 24 is formed near the outer end of the lid 12, the water drops intensively from the lower ridge 24 and surely falls on the flange portion 32. The water accumulated on the flange portion 32 is re-evaporated in a high-temperature atmosphere in the pot main body 10 and finally fills the pot main body 10 or breaks off the fluid seal and escapes outside. At this time, if the box 40 is provided, the re-evaporation is further promoted.

By the way, when cooking in the attached pot 28, nothing is put in the pot body 10 in principle, and the pot body 10 is cooked empty.
