PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heater/cooker comprising a deodorizing unit having a catalyst being heated in a short time with small power in which a sufficient countermeasures is taken to electric insulation. SOLUTION: The heater/cooker 9 is provided with a deodorizing unit 14 at the exhaust opening 13. The deodorizing unit 14 comprises a housing 16 having a cavity 15 for passing gas, a water repellent heat resistant insulating coating 17 provided on the inlet side surface of the housing, and a thin metal plate 19 having an odor decomposing catalyst 21 on the surface disposed substantially vertically in the gas passing cavity in the downstream of the coating 17. Since electrical conduction with the heater/cooker caused by moisture in cooking gas passing through the gas passing cavity and adhering to the thin metal plate is interrupted through water repellent and insulation action of the coating 17, current flow from the thin metal plate to the heater/cooker can be blocked. Furthermore, the odor decomposing catalyst can be heated in a short time with small power because it is provided directly on the thin metal plate through a heat resistant insulating layer. |
