A cooking appliance 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, a cooking appliance 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: cooking cavity 1, door body 2 and overware subassembly 3.

Specifically, the door 2 is connected to the cooking cavity 1, the door 2 is convertible between a closing position for closing the cooking cavity 1 and an opening position for opening the cooking cavity 1, and the door 2 is provided with a first controller for controlling the working mode of the cooking appliance 100 when the door 2 is at the closing position. The first controller can control the working modes (such as timing, temperature adjustment, heating mode, etc.) of the cooking appliance 100, thereby facilitating the operation of the user.

The baking tray component 3 can be located in the cooking cavity 1 for heating, the baking tray component 3 can also be located outside the cooking cavity 1 for heating, a second controller (not shown) is arranged on the baking tray component 3, and when the door body 2 is located at the opening position, the second controller can control the working mode of the cooking appliance 100. Therefore, when the door 2 is located at the opening position, the second controller can also control the working mode of the cooking appliance 100, so that the convenience of operation is improved, and the application range of the cooking appliance 100 is expanded to a certain extent.

Wherein the first controller and the second controller may be independent of each other. That is, when the operation mode of the cooking appliance 100 is controlled by the first controller, the second controller does not operate; also, when the operation mode of the cooking appliance 100 is controlled by the second controller, the first controller is not operated.

When the door body 2 is in the closed position, the baking tray assembly 3 can be positioned in the cooking cavity 1 for heating, and at the moment, the control of the working mode of the cooking appliance 100 can be realized through the first controller.

When the door body 2 is located at the opening position, the baking tray assembly 3 may be located outside the cooking cavity 1 for heating, for example, the baking tray assembly 3 may be located on the door body 2, the baking tray assembly 3 may also be placed on a workbench or a table top for heating, and the like, and at this time, the control of the working mode of the cooking appliance 100 may be realized by the second controller.
