PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric pot comprising a circulating function of hot water stored in the pot and being able to deliver the hot water either electrically or manually. SOLUTION: The electric pot is provided with an electric pump 52 within the hot water delivering pipe 51 extending upward from the bottom side of the inner container 4 and an air type bellows pump 26 within the lid body 2. The upper end of the hot water delivering pipe 51 is branched to the delivering port pipes 55a, 55c, 56 and to the circulating pipe 57. Said delivering port pipes reach to the delivering port 56a and said circulating pipe communicates with the upper side of the inner container 4. A passage switching valve 58 is provided in the branched part, so that the hot water in the inner container 4 is able to switch to the electrically delivering state to be deliverable from the delivering port 56a through the hot water delivering pipe 51 and to the circulating state to be returned to the inner container 4 through the circulating pipe 57. On the other hand, the manually hot water delivering pipe 54 reaching to the delivering port 56a by bypassing the electric pump 52 and the passage switching valve 58 is provided to execute the manually hot water delivering through the pipe 54.
