As shown in FIG. 1, a general conventional electric griddle includes a main body 10 provided with an on / off switch 12, a temperature control switch 14, and an operation indicator lamp 16, and an upper portion of the main body 10. The laminated plate is composed of a cooking plate 20 having an upper opening, and a material is usually a metal material.

2 and 3, the cooking plate 20 adopts a heating element 40 that generates heat by electricity as a heating means, and electricity is supplied to the surface of the lower surface of the cooking plate 20. When the heat generating element 40 that dissipates the heat is arranged in a predetermined pattern and then fixed by the fixing means, and filled with a heat insulating material is generally used. At this time, since the heating element 40 must uniformly heat all parts of the cooking plate 20, a pattern for uniformly arranging the heating element 40 is widely used.

On the other hand, while the conventional electric grease as described above has a number of advantages, such as ease of use, there are some problems that the thermal efficiency is low and the discharge of excess oil in the cooking plate is not easy.

First, as the heating element 40 is fixed to the lower surface of the cooking plate 20 by a simple fixing means, the line contact is made, and this configuration is extremely limited in the contact area of the heating element 40 and the cooking plate 20. As it is, the heat generated from the heating element 40 was not able to quickly transfer to the cooking plate 20. Due to this problem, the initial heating time was long and the thermal efficiency was low.

Secondly, when cooking using a conventional grill, the oil is put on the cooking plate 20 to cook. In this case, excess oil such as oil generated during cooking and the first oil is generated, and it must be properly discharged. However, in the related art, the cooking plate 20 is not provided with an appropriate configuration for discharging oil, so that the cooking plate 20 may be absorbed by using a separate oil removal tool or absorbed using a paper towel. There was a disadvantage of having to remove excess oil or waste oil in the house.

The present invention improves the fixing structure of the heating element fixed to the bottom plate of the cooking plate to shorten the initial heating time and improve the thermal efficiency, and to quickly and conveniently discharge the excess oil generated in the cooking plate to the outside The purpose is to get the electric griddle.

The present invention allows rapid heat transfer by widening the area in which the heating element contacts the cooking plate by digging a groove in the bottom surface of the cooking plate, and also forming an outlet for discharging oil at the edge of the cooking plate, while the main body has an outlet. They provide drawers with drawable drawers to store oil discharged through them so that they can be quickly discharged to the outside of excess oil from the cooking plate.

According to the present invention, as the area in which the heating element contacts the cooking plate is increased, heat generated in the heating element is quickly transferred to the cooking plate, thereby shortening the initial heating time and making it possible to construct a grill having good thermal efficiency. In addition, through the outlet and the sump, the excess oil generated in the cooking plate can be quickly and conveniently discharged to obtain a convenient electric grill.

According to the present invention, the main body is formed at the bottom to shorten the initial heating time and improve the thermal efficiency, and to discharge the excess oil generated from the cooking plate to the outside quickly and conveniently.
