The invention discloses an electronic sensor type electric pressure cooker, which comprises a pot cover, a power supply board, a heating plate and an automatic pressure control mechanism. The sensor on the side, and the control chip connected between the sensor and the heating plate; the sensor sends an induction signal to the control chip, and the control chip sends an instruction to turn on or cut off the power supply of the heating plate. The invention uses electronic sensing to control the internal pressure of the inner pot, and the whole control process is non-contact controlled, with simple structure, reliable performance, wide control range, high precision, high sensitivity, and the safety performance is much better than that of the electric pressure cooker using the traditional control mechanism. .
