ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a dual-function filter type pot cover, comprising an outside plate, an inside plate, a diverting cover, a filter element and a switching knob, wherein the outside plate, the inside plate and the diverting cover are combined as one, while the switching knob can rotate in relation to the diverting cover, on the inside plate are air vents, on the diverting cover is a separating plate that divide it into a first space with a filter element and a cover plate and a second space with steam holes and an arched guide groove, while on the inner rim of the switching knob is a protruded obstructing plate that is located in the guide groove, so that by rotating the switching knob, when the obstructing plate is away from the steam holes, the steam in the pot will escape without obstruction from the air vent on the inside cover to the first space and out of the steam holes, suitable for cooking food with water, or on the other hand, in case the cooking involves frying with oil, the obstructing plate will obstruct the steam holes, so the oily vapor in the pot may escape from the air vent to the first space, then to the second space, to be filtered by the filter element before clean air is discharged from the air vent on the cover plate.
