A temperature sensor 13 is fixed to the outer surface of the heating tank 6. Further, a timer, temperature control, and power control circuit 14 is provided. This device starts operation at a predetermined time by putting ingredients into a kneading container 8 and setting a timer, and each process is automated by the timer and temperature adjustment so that the bread is baked at a predetermined time.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In such a conventional device, the handle 9 falls down and comes into contact with the upper end surface of the kneading container 8, so that the bread is baked in the kneading container B and cannot be taken out. There was a problem in that the handle 9 was also very hot when the user tried to take it off, making it difficult to take it out even if the user tried to hold the handle 9 with a mitten or the like. In addition, when the lid 12 and the kneading container 8 are separated from each other, the baked bread rises above the handle 9, making it impossible to hold the handle 9.

In view of the above points, the present invention provides an automatic bread maker in which the handle is kept floating above the upper end surface of the kneading container so that it can be easily grasped even when using mittens or the like. It is something.
