Abstract
An operation panel and an electric cooking appliance are described herein. The electric cooking appliance comprises a substantially arc-shaped outer shell and an operation panel disposed on the outer shell, the operation panel comprising a substantially flat display panel and a control panel coupled to at least one side of the display panel. The control panel is inclinedly disposed relative to the display panel such that an overall shape of the operation panel at least partially approximates that of the arc-shaped shell. The control panel comprises at least one control key disposed thereon for operating the electric cooking appliance. Such a design provides an increased area of the display panel thereby providing a bigger displaying area without substantially enlarging the dimensions of the operation panel.
