A rice input structure of an automatic electric pressure cooker that automatically adds rice and water for cooking includes a cyclone rice separator mounted on a lid and having an opening/closing hole for putting rice into an inner pot, an air intake pipe connected to one side of the cyclone rice separator and generating a intake pressure, a rice transfer pipe connected in a tangential direction of the cyclone rice separator and connected to a rice container, a valve passing through an axial direction of the cyclone rice separator to open and close the opening/closing hole, and a valve opening/closing device having a link pressing an upper end of the valve and an actuator rotating the link.

A cooking system includes a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive food, a controller configured to operate the cooking system in a plurality of modes including a conductive cooking mode and a convective cooking mode, a first temperature sensor operable by the controller to detect temperature in the hollow chamber during the conductive cooking mode, and a second temperature sensor operable by the controller to detect temperature in the hollow chamber during the convective cooking mode. The controller is configured to receive an initial user input that initiates at least one of the conductive cooking mode and the convective cooking mode and switch between operation of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor following the initial user input and without further user input.

A cooking appliance is provided. The lid comprises a pressure-limiting valve, a lever, and a button assembly comprising a steam-discharging button and a button seat, the steam-discharging button being fastened to the button seat and being vertically movable for actuating the lever to activate the pressure-limiting valve for steam discharging. The button assembly comprises a guiding rod, the steam-discharging button comprises a heart-shaped groove. A downward movement of the steam-discharging button causes a first end of the guiding rod to slide within the heart-shaped groove. When the steam-discharging button is released, the first end of the guiding rod slides to a position for lockingly engaging with the heart-shaped groove, to keep the steam-discharging button at a steam-discharging position. Pressing the steam-discharging button once will lock the steam-discharging button for continuous steam discharging without the need to keep holding the button, thereby simplifying the discharging operation over prior art.

A compression type ramen cooker according to an embodiment includes a main frame including side plates formed on both sides thereof, an upper main bar connecting the upper portions of the side plates, and a lower main bar connecting the lower portions of the side plates, a cooking vessel part rotatably mounted on the inner sides of the side plates, a compression chamber mounted above the upper main bar to seal or open the cooking vessel part by moving up and down, an induction heater rotatably mounted on the rear side of the cooking vessel part to heat the cooking vessel part, a ramen discharging part for discharging cooked ramen from the cooking vessel part, and a drain mounted in the lower end of the side plates on both sides to discard the water used for cleaning the cooking vessel part after cooking.

A lid body is provided with a lid body wireless transmission device. The lid body wireless transmission device includes a circuit board. The lid body is provided with a mounting cavity for mounting the circuit board, one side of the mounting cavity being open. The circuit board is fixedly mounted in the mounting cavity; moreover, the mounting cavity is potted by means of a potting adhesive and the opening is sealed. The circuit board is potted in the mounting cavity by means of the potting adhesive, so that the circuit board is completely isolated from a cavity in the lid body to ensure that the circuit board does not contact high-temperature steam in the lid body, thereby preventing the occurrence of excessive temperature rise of a component due to that the circuit board contacts high-temperature steam and the occurrence of damages to the circuit board.

A compression chamber for a compression type ramen cooker is capable of cooking ramen by compression by blocking a discharge of air in a cooking container while cooking ramen. The compression chamber includes a lid, a chamber container having an upper portion on which the lid is mounted and a bottom surface to which the cooking container is coupled to seal the cooking container, a heater installed through the lid and mounted inside the chamber container to heat the water stored in the chamber container, a supply valve unit installed through the lid to supply water to the inside of the chamber container, a discharge valve unit installed through the lid to supply water in the chamber container to the cooking container, and a vapor discharge unit on a lower side of the chamber container to discharge compressed steam inside the cooking container.

A cooking system includes a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive food. The housing has an upper portion defining an opening to said hollow chamber. A lid is movable relative to the housing between an open position and a closed position. The lid seals the opening to the hollow chamber when in the closed position. A portion of the lid is selectively positionable to form a pressure-tight heating volume between the hollow chamber and the portion of said lid. At least one heating element is associated with at least one of the housing and the lid. The at least one heating element is arranged within the pressure-tight heating volume.

A device for making and dispensing pasta comprises: a pressure cooking vessel; and a ball valve assembly comprising: i) a valve body coupled to a top opening of the vessel, and ii) a rotatable ball securely located within the valve body and rotatable between an open position and a closed position, the ball having a bore, wherein in the open position the bore provides access to the top opening of the vessel, and in the closed position the ball hermetically seals the top opening. The device also includes a means for dropping pasta through the bore and into the vessel; a means for rotating the ball to the closed position; a means for heating the interior volume of the vessel to cook the pasta; and a means for providing egress of the pasta from the device after the vessel has cooked the pasta.

The invention relates to a pressure cooking utensil comprising a vessel, a lid with an annular skirt, and a gasket interposed between the lid and the vessel, said gasket including a ring and a first lip in sealing contact with the top wall of the lid, said utensil being characterized in that it includes a leakage opening formed through said top wall, the annular skirt forming a stop abutment for the ring, said first lip presenting flexibility that is suitable, when the pressure that exists inside the enclosure exceeds a safety threshold, for causing the inside of the enclosure to communicate with the outside through the leakage opening.

A pressure cooker includes: a base configured to provide heat to an internal chamber for pressure cooking; a lid that engages the base to seal the chamber; a controller that controls one or more operational parameters of the pressure cooker, the controller located external to the internal chamber; and a temperature probe, the temperature probe comprising a temperature sensor positioned in the internal cavity, the temperature probe configured to communicate temperature signals to the controller.
