Specifically, when cooking, through the connection of the first connecting part 142 and the second connecting part, the first tray 120 and the second tray 130 are closed, so that the food material is prevented from splashing outside the cooking appliance 100 during the cooking process, and the use safety and the overall tidiness of the cooking appliance 100 are ensured. After the cooking is finished, the first tray 120 and the second tray 130 are separated by the first connecting member 142 and the second connecting member, so that the user can take out the cooked food conveniently. When the cooking utensil 100 is idle and needs to be stored, the first connecting piece 142 is connected with the second connecting piece, so that the first tray 120 and the second tray 130 can be combined, the occupied space of the cooking utensil 100 is saved, and dust or sundries can be prevented from falling into the first tray 120 and the second tray 130, and the tray is kept clean and tidy.

In one particular embodiment, cooking appliance 100 includes an electric baking pan, or a griddle.

In this implementation, the cooking appliance 100 includes an electric baking pan, or a frying-baking machine. Of course, other cooking appliances capable of adjusting the distance between the trays may be used, and the cooking appliances are not limited to the above three types.

Example four:

in a first embodiment of the present invention, a control method of a cooking appliance 100 is provided, which is used for the cooking appliance 100 in the first embodiment, the second embodiment or the third embodiment.

The cooking apparatus 100 is specifically selected as a frying and baking machine, the upper tray body of the cooking apparatus 100 is arranged in the cover body of the cooking apparatus 100, the lower tray body is arranged in the base 110, heating elements are arranged in the cover body and the base 110, food is placed between the upper tray body and the lower tray body, and the frying and baking machine can heat and cook the food from the upper direction and the lower direction.

As shown in fig. 4, in the cooking appliance 100, the movable member is controlled to drive the transmission assembly 140 to move, and thus the second plate 130 is driven to move upwards.

In one embodiment, the food to be cooked is placed in the frying and baking machine, the first tray 120 is fastened on the second tray 130, the second tray 130 is controlled to ascend, the food ascends along with the second tray 130, after the food contacts the first tray 120, the second tray 130 is controlled to continuously ascend until the upper tray assembly is jacked up, the sensor is triggered, it is determined that the upper tray and the lower tray simultaneously contact the food, and the heating element is controlled to start to work until the cooking is finished.

In another embodiment, the food to be cooked is placed in the frying and baking machine, the first tray 120 is fastened to the base 110, the second tray 130 is controlled to ascend, the food ascends along with the second tray 130, and the second tray 130 is controlled to continuously ascend until the upper tray assembly is jacked up after the food contacts the first tray 120. At this time, it is determined that the food needs to bear the entire weight of the upper cover, and the food is easily extruded and deformed, so that after the second plate 130 is controlled to descend by a set distance, the heating element is controlled to start to operate until the cooking is finished.

Specifically, if the cooking utensil 100 cooks different food materials, the set distance for lowering the second plate 130 is different.
