Description

  The present invention relates to a heating cooker that heats an object to be heated placed on a top plate with a heating coil.

  Conventionally, a top plate is disposed on the upper surface of the cooking device, and an object to be heated placed on the top plate is heated by a heating coil. Some cooking devices have a grill portion inside the main body. The grill portion is disposed on one side in the left-right direction when viewed from the front in the main body of the heating cooker. The object to be heated can be heated by opening a door provided on the front surface of the main body, inserting a heated object such as a fish into the grill, and closing the door. In such a heating cooker, a power switch and various operation means for operating the heating condition of the object to be heated are arranged on the front side where the user who cooks stands. For example, the cooking device described in Patent Document 1 has a power switch on the front surface. In addition, the cooking device described in Patent Document 2 is provided with an operation panel at the front edge of the top plate on the upper surface side, and a power switch is disposed on the operation panel.
