Abstract

An apparatus for detecting status of a cooker lid relative to a cooker body is provided. The apparatus comprises a block mounted to the cooker lid near its periphery rim, and a pole disposed about an upper rim of the cooker body and being movable relative to the cooker body. The block engages with the pole such that the pole is at a first location relative to the cooker body when the cooker lid is separated from the cooker body; the pole is at a second location relative to the cooker body when the cooker lid is placed on the upper rim of the cooker body and is out of position for a predetermined cooking mode, and the pole is at a third location relative to the cooker body when the cooker lid is placed on the upper rim of the cooker body and is in position for the predetermined cooking mode.
