ABSTRACT:
A rice cooker has a body provided with an upper opening. A lid for opening and closing the upper opening is swingably supported on the body by a hinge mechanism. The lid has a grip portion extending, like a bridge, along the upper surface of the lid from that portion thereof which is adjacent to the hinge mechanism to that portion thereof which is opposite to the hinge mechanism. The lid is locked at a closed position by a lock mechanism. A tension coil spring is arranged along the grip portion to urge the lid in the direction of opening the lid. Thus, when the lock mechanism is released, the lid is automatically opened by the urging force of the tension coil spring.
