• the vertical portion 3331 and the inclined portion 3332 are provided with openings for the user to insert their hands into.
• the inclined portion 3332 extends above the top cover 90 and the top plate of the table 600. This makes it easier for the user to hold the handle 330.

• the shoulder portion 113 of the guide member 100 is in contact with the first extension portion 54 of the drain pan 50, so most of the hot air does not escape to the outside of the two first guide portions 111, but flows into the space surrounded by the two first guide portions 111 and the two second guide portions 121.
• the hot air that flows into this space flows toward the bottom wall 210 of the pot 200, so that the bottom wall 210 of the pot 200 can be effectively heated by the hot air.

• the second straightening plate 321 is disposed inward from the second side wall 53 of the drain pan 50, and faces the side wall 220 of the pot 200. In this way, by disposing the first straightening plate 311 and the second straightening plate 321 outside the side wall 220 of the pot 200, the gap through which the hot air passes can be narrowed. As a result, the hot air rises near the side wall 220 of the pot 200, and the side wall 220 of the pot 200 can be effectively heated.
• the hot air sufficiently heats the bottom wall 210 of the pot 200 before being exhausted through the vicinity of the side wall 220 of the pot 200, so that the thermal energy of the hot air can be supplied to the pot 200 without waste, and the pot 200 can be heated effectively.
• the first guide portion 111 of the guide member 100 extends below the upper end of the hot plate 80, so that the hot air heated by the hot plate 80 can be effectively guided toward the bottom wall 210 of the pot 200.
• the second guide portion 121 of the guide member 100 extends below the upper end of the heat plate 80, so that the hot air heated by the heat plate 80 can be effectively guided toward the bottom wall 210 of the pot 200.
• the guide member 100 has a first introduction portion 112 that extends inward in the Y direction and diagonally downward, which prevents the first introduction portion 112 from getting caught on the drain pan 50 when the guide member 100 is inserted into the drain pan 50 from above the drain pan 50. This allows the guide member 100 to be smoothly positioned in the drain pan 50.
• the guide member 100 is provided with a first introduction portion 112 that extends inward in the Y direction and diagonally downward, thereby reinforcing the guide member 100. As a result, deformation of the guide member 100 due to heat can be prevented.

This allows the guide member 100 to be smoothly positioned in the drain pan 50.
• the guide member 100 is provided with a second introduction portion 123 that extends inward in the X direction and diagonally downward, thereby reinforcing the guide member 100. As a result, deformation of the guide member 100 due to heat can be prevented.
• the second introduction part 123 extends inward in the X direction and diagonally downward, and is made of a shiny metal material, particularly shiny stainless steel, so that the flame of the gas burner 60 is reflected on the surface of the second introduction part 123. This allows the user to check whether the gas burner 60 is ignited while the cooking device 1000 is in operation.
• the guide member 100 is provided with a first movement restriction portion 114, which restricts the movement of the guide member 100 in the Y direction.
• the first movement restriction portion 114 comes into contact with the vertical surface 551 of the second extension portion 55, and therefore the guide member 100 cannot move in the Y direction.

• the mounting portion 312 extends from the entire length of the lower end of the first straightening plate 311, which allows the trivet 300 to be more stably placed on the guide member 100.
• the trivet 300 is positioned far away from the gas burner 60 and the hot plate 80, so it is less susceptible to soot and other dirt. Therefore, even if the trivet 300 is removed from the guide member 100 and placed on a carrier when cleaning the trivet 300, the carrier will not get dirty.
• the trivet 300 is provided with legs 323, so that the trivet 300 can be stably placed on the carrier when it is removed from the drain pan 50.
• the legs 323 are provided only on a portion of the lower end of the second straightening plate 321, rather than along the entire length of the lower end of the second straightening plate 321, so that the contact area between the trivet 300 and the carrier can be reduced, thereby suppressing the transfer of heat from the heated trivet 300 to the carrier.
• the trivet 300 is provided with a handle 330, which makes it easier for the user to remove the trivet 300 from the drain pan 50.
• the handle 330 is attached to the second baffle plate 321, so that the handle 330 does not get in the way of the person eating.
