The present invention relates to an electric range having a self-regulating sheet-type heating element, wherein the temperature can be accurately controlled within a particular temperature range and the power usage is reduced due to low heat loss. The electric range according to the present invention comprises: a case having an open top surface; a heat-resistant panel joined to the top surface of the case; a self-regulating heating element (SR heating element), which is connected underneath or disposed with a set distance from the heat-resistant panel, is formed from a hardened paste mixture of an electrical resistance material, an insulation binder and a temperature control material, generates heat with supplied power, and self-regulates the temperature so that the temperature is uniformly maintained within a defined range; a control part, disposed on the case, for allowing a user to control the temperature of the heat generated by the SR heating element; and a controller, connected to the control part, for controlling the temperature of the generated heat by controlling the power applied to the SR heating element. |
