(54) Food cooking device


(57) A food cooking device (2) with cabinet (200) provided with a control panel (1) comprising at least one knob (3, 4) associated with means (19) for the operation of the cooking device (2) startable by means of rotation of the knob (3, 4) is described. The knob (3, 4) has a substantially rectangular shape and it is provided with a push-pull device (100) that allows its longitudinal movement from a first position (A) in which the knob (3, 4) is substantially lined up with the external front profile of the control panel (1) and inserted in a substantially rectangular opening (70) to a second position (B) in which the knob (3, 4) projects about the external front profile of the control panel (1) and vice-versa. The knob (3, 4) is rotatable as regards a longitudinal axis of rotation (AS) passing through the geometric centre of the same in the second position (B) in such a way so as to determine the operation of the same cooking device (2). The rectangular opening (70) for the housing of the knob (3, 4) is provided with a projection (71) and the knob (3, 4) comprises a cavity (72) capable to line up with the external profile of the projection (71) so as to determine a single position for the insertion of the knob (3, 4) in the opening (70).
