Since elastic member 32 has a certain deformation space, when pot body assembly 20 is placed on heating device 30, under the action of gravity of pot body assembly 20, elastic member 32 is compressed, and heating device 30 moves downward along the vertical direction, generating a displacement amount matched with the gravity of pot body assembly 20. During the process of feeding the food material such as rice into the cooking space of the pot assembly 20, the elastic member 32 is further compressed under the action of the gravity of the food material, and the heating device 30 continues to move downward along the vertical direction, generating a displacement amount matching with the total weight of the food material and the pot assembly 20.

The weighing device 50 is disposed in the body 40, connected to the heating device 30, and is capable of detecting the amount of displacement of the heating device 30. Specifically, referring to fig. 1 to 3, a rib 312 is provided on a side surface of the large diameter portion 314 of the carrier 31, and a sensing portion 51 and a mounting groove 52 are provided on a side of the weighing device 50 facing the heating device 30, the sensing portion 51 being slidable in the mounting groove 52.
