The invention relates to an energy saving explosion prevention electric heater for pots, which is provided with a heating device which extends into a pot from the outside of the pot and a flow jet and heat transfer device, wherein the flow jet and heat transfer device consists of a flow jet pump and a flow jet pipe which is connected with the flow jet pump and extends into the pot. A liquid inlet of the flow jet pump is communicated with a liquid storage pot through a liquid suction pipe, and the part of the flow jet pipe extending out of the pot is provided with an electromagnetic scale preventing and scale removing device. The heating device consists of a plurality of electric heating components, and is arranged in a lower position in the liquid storage pot parallel to the flow jet pipe, wherein the electric heating components and the part of the flow jet pipe extending out of the pot are coated with an explosion prevention box, and the inside of the explosion prevention box is provided with a heating monitoring device. The energy saving explosion prevention electric heater can prevent the surface of the electric heater from scaling and coking effectively, and has the advantages of high heat energy transfer speed, high electric heat efficiency, long service life, obvious energy saving effect, good explosion prevention safety performance, convenient operation and maintenance, and the like.
