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 cooking system for cooking food includes a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive a food container. The housing has an upper portion defining an opening to the hollow chamber. A lid is configured to cover the upper portion of the housing and the opening to the hollow chamber in a closed position. The lid is movable to an open position where the lid does not cover the opening to the hollow chamber. At least one heating element associated with at least one of said housing and said lid. The cooking system is operable in a plurality of modes including a pressure cooking mode and a convective cooking mode. In the pressure cooking mode, the cooking system is operable as a pressure cooker, and in the convective cooking mode, the cooking system is operable as a convection cooker.

Disclosed herein is a cooking system for cooking food, the system including a housing having a hollow interior, a lid movable relative to the housing, at least one heating element associated with one of the housing and the lid, wherein the cooking system is operable in a plurality of modes including a conductive cooking mode and a convective cooking mode, wherein in the conductive cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a conductive cooker and in the convective cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a convection cooker.

A digital pressure canner and related methods of operation that provide for improved safety and consistency during a food canning process by reducing temperature over and undershoot. The digital pressure canner includes a digital control operating with inputs from digital sensors to accurately control the canning temperature during the canning process. By reducing over and undershoot of canning temperatures, foods within the pressure canner are maintained at temperatures sufficient to kill any bacteria or microorganisms for the entire canning cycle. In order to verify operation of the digital canner at sufficient canning temperatures, mechanical safety devices, for example, a pressure relief valve can be utilized in conjunction with digital controllers and sensors to provide audible and visual feedback to a user during the canning process.

Disclosed herein is a cooking system for cooking food, the system including a housing having a hollow interior, a lid movable relative to the housing, at least one heating element associated with one of the housing and the lid, wherein the cooking system is operable in a plurality of modes including a conductive cooking mode and a convective cooking mode, wherein in the conductive cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a conductive cooker and in the convective cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a convection cooker.

Disclosed herein is a cooking system for cooking food, the system including a housing having a hollow interior, a lid movable relative to the housing, at least one heating element associated with one of the housing and the lid, wherein the cooking system is operable in a plurality of modes including a conductive cooking mode and a convective cooking mode, wherein in the conductive cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a conductive cooker and in the convective cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a convection cooker.

Valve (V) for a pressure vessel comprises a hollow cylindrical valve cover element (1) adapted to define an outer cover for a hollow body (2) adapted to be disposed, in use, to the inside of the element (1) itself in the hollow part (C) of the said element (1); and a pawl (3) adapted to be inserted and housed, in use, inside said hollow body (2).

Disclosed is a split-type electric pressure cooker. The cooker comprises a cooker body and a cooker lid, the cooker body being provided with a power supply device. The split-type electric pressure cooker further comprises: a mechanical vent valve, comprising a valve seat and a valve cover, wherein the valve seat is fixedly mounted on the cooker lid, and the valve cover can be movably mounted on the valve seat; a power transmitting device mounted on the cooker body and able to be electrically connected to the power supply device; a power receiving device mounted on the cooker lid; and a motor driving device mounted on the cooker lid and electrically connected to the power receiving device, the motor driving device being used for driving the valve cover to move so as to open or close the mechanical vent valve. With the cooperation of the power transmitting device and the power receiving device, the power transmission is realized between the cooker body and the cooker lid.

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 and has an interior lid cavity. An air movement device is positioned to move air through at least one of the hollow chamber and the interior lid cavity in a direction of flow. At least one vent is disposed in at least one of the lid and the housing and includes a leading end and a trailing end relative to the direction of flow. The at least one vent is openable to have a greater airflow capacity at the leading end relative to the trailing end or openable to have a greater airflow capacity at the trailing end relative to the leading end.

Disclosed is a cooking appliance that includes a cooker body assembly, a lid assembly, a weighing sensor, a first control panel, and a second control panel. The cooker body assembly includes a housing and an inner pot disposed inside the housing. The lid assembly can be opened and closed to cover the inner pot. The first control panel is disposed on the lid assembly, and the second control panel is disposed on the housing. The weighing sensor is electrically connected to the second control panel. According to this disclosure, the second control panel is disposed on the housing, so that the second control panel does not flip to the rear side together with the lid assembly when the lid assembly is opened to add food or water.
