PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit heating water with good heat efficiency, looking better and preventing an inner container from being abnormally heated upon heating of an empty container. SOLUTION: In the electric hot water container, a heat-radiating plate 23 composed of a good heat conductor, at the lower surface of which an electric heater 4 has been installed in a closely contacted state, is provided on the inner bottom of the inner container 3, a number of circulating ports 28, 28... and 29, 29..., through which hot water is vertically circulated, are formed at other positions than the closely contacted site with the electric heater 4 in the heat-radiating plate 23 to improve the heat efficiency by acceleration of convection and to prevent bubbles generated by heating of the electric heater 4 from staying on the lower surface of the heat-radiating plate 23, thereby preventing the heat of the electric heater 4 from becoming hard to be transferred to water due to the presence of the bubbles to cause abnormal heating of the electric heater 4. It is prevented to see the electric heater 4 when a lid 2 is opened. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
