The invention relates to a multifunctional energy saving pan consisting of a pan frame (1), a dish box groove (3) and a movable dish box (4), wherein the dish box groove (3) is arranged in a pan body, the movable dish box (4) is placed in the dish box groove, a thermal circulation device (2) for heat preservation and temperature control is arranged in the middle of the dish box groove, a hot gas circular conveying pipeline (15) is arranged in the dish box groove, the hot gas pipeline is connected with the thermal circulation device, and the thermal circulation device is connected with a circular water storage tank (14) through circulating pipes (12 and 13); the thermal circulation device is an airtight steam generation container. The multifunctional energy saving pan causes a central heatsource to radiate all around, dishes are rapidly heated and cooked, thereby shortening cooking time, achieving circular and smooth hot gas and uniformly heating. The energy saving pan can preserve the heat of the cooked dishes by using the radiation of the central heat energy without consuming fuel gas, the multifunctional energy saving pan can save the energy several times as mach as a traditional pan, can preserve the heat for more than 24 hours, and can simultaneously cook more than ten different dishes. Calculated by the total amount of cooking, the multifunctional energy saving pan has the least occupied space, the most cooked dishes, the most dish varieties, the shortest use time and the highest energy saving.
