an inner pot accommodated in the main body; and
a main body lid connected to the main body and configured to cover the inner pot,
wherein the main body lid comprises:
a top plate configured to cover the inner pot;
a support plate disposed on the top plate;
a rotation cover including a guide groove extending in a curved shape along a rotation direction, and disposed on the top plate to be rotatable along a circumference of the top plate;
a locking structure comprising an engagement protrusion configured to be engaged with a flange of the inner pot, a connection plate connected to a body of the engagement protrusion and a guide protrusion inserted into the guide groove, wherein the locking structure is configured to linearly move between a locking position and an unlocking position in conjunction with the rotation of the rotation cover, wherein the locking position is a position where the engagement protrusion overlaps the flange of the inner pot in a vertical direction and the unlocking position is a position that is spaced apart outward from the locking position in a radial direction; and
a pressing slider configured to elastically support the locking structure in a direction from the locking position toward the unlocking position,
wherein the pressing slider comprises:
a fixed body configured to be engaged with the support plate;
a movable body including an engagement hook engaged with an engagement block of the fixed body and configured to move linearly within the fixed body, wherein the movable body is in contact with the locking structure; and
