It is moved along the guide member 20 and the guide member 20 which are installed along the inner surface 14 of the main body portion 10 and the main body portion 10 facing the first cooking space 12 is provided It is mounted to the first cooking space 12 and includes a mounting cooking portion 30 is provided with a second cooking space (32) inside.

Inside the main body 10 of the microwave oven 1 is provided with a first cooking space 12 is irradiated with microwaves to heat the cooking object.

The door part 16 is hinged to the main body part 10, and the first cooking space 12 is opened and closed by the rotation operation of the door part 16.

The guide member 20 is installed along the inner surface 14 of the main body portion 10 facing the first cooking space 12. The guide member 20 may be formed in various shapes within the technical concept of guiding the movement of the mounting cooking unit 30 such that the mounting cooking unit 30 is positioned inside the first cooking space 12.

Guide member 20 according to an embodiment is formed on the inner surface 14 of the body portion 10 facing the upper both sides of the first cooking space 12, the protrusion shape protruding from the inner surface (14) Is installed.

The guide member 20 is horizontally along the inner surface 14 so that the mounting cooking portion 30 can be moved to the inside of the first cooking space 12 through the opened front surface of the first cooking space 12. Is installed.

The second cooking space 32 is provided inside the mounting cooking unit 30 which is moved along the guide member 20 and is mounted in the first cooking space 12.

The mounting cooking unit 30 may be formed in various shapes within a technical concept in which the second cooking space 32 partitioned from the first cooking space 12 is formed inside.

The first cooking space 12 is formed inside the main body 10 and is a space where the heating object is cooked by irradiation of microwaves. The second cooking space 32 is a space which is partitioned from the first cooking space 12 and installed inside the first cooking space 12 to cook the heating object by the heating member 44 heated by the microwave irradiation. It is a space to do.

Mounting cooking unit 30 according to an embodiment is formed in the shape of a drawer, the guide panel 36 which is moved along the guide member 20 is provided on the side and the frame member (opened in the upper side (see Fig. 2)) ( 34) and a cooking base 40 that shields the lower portion of the frame member 34 and is heated by irradiation of microwaves.
