A cooking appliance includes a housing containing a cooking vessel configured to receive food to be cooked; a lid mounted pivotably on the housing between an open and a closed position; a steam outlet valve that is movable between a first valve position in which the steam outlet valve places the inside of the cooking vessel in communication with the outside of the cooking appliance, and a second valve position in which the steam outlet valve fluidly insulates the inside of the cooking vessel from the outside of the cooking appliance; a lid locking mechanism configured to lock the lid in the closed position; and a control member configured to be handled by a user and to control the locking and unlocking of the lid in relation to the housing.

An electric cooking appliance includes a housing having a cooking vessel configured to receive food to be cooked; a lid pivotably mounted on the housing between an open position in which the lid frees access to the cooking vessel and a closed position in which the lid prevents access to the cooking vessel; and a heating device which is removably mounted on an inner surface of the lid, the heating device having a heating device configured to be located opposite the food to be cooked received in the cooking vessel and for heating said food to be cooked when the lid is in the closed position.

A cooking appliance includes a base, a cover body pivotally mounted at the base, a pivot spring provided at a pivot connection member between the base and the cover body, and an attraction assembly including a first attraction member provided at the base and a second attraction member provided at the cover body. The first attraction member and the second attraction member are configured to attract each other to lock the cover body to the base.

A door lock for a household electrical appliance has an electric door switch with two contact elements, a pusher and a pusher control element. The pusher presses against a first contact element that holds the door switch in one of the two switching states. When the pusher is displaced from a first pusher position to a second pusher position, the door switch transfers into the other of the two switching states. The pusher control element, which is movable relative to the pusher, moves from one of the two control positions to the other on closing of the door. The pusher control element has a control path where a first path section blocks the pusher against displacement from the first pusher position to the second pusher position and a second path section provides the pusher with space for a displacement from the first pusher position to the second pusher position.

A cooking pot, including a cylindrical surface disposed around a base to store at least one of a liquid and a type of food, a strainer disposed within a lower portion of the cylindrical surface to empty the at least one of the liquid and the type of food, and a slidable lid disposed within a lower portion of the cylindrical surface to cover the strainer when the slidable lid is in a first position and to uncover the strainer when the slidable lid is in a second position.

A pressure cooker comprises a handle, a body, an outer lid being pivotally mounted on the body, an inner vessel with flange extending radially, an inner lid that is configured to cover the inner vessel, a rotatable rim protrusions that selectively engages with the flange of the inner vessel. The pressure cooker that utilizes a one-hand opening and locking mechanism that simultaneously locks the outer lid with the main body and locks the inner lid with the inner vessel. The locking of the outer lid is achieved by a clasp assembly, whose position is controlled by the handle. The locking of the outer lid is achieved by the pairing of the flange and the rim protrusions, whose position is also controlled by the handle. The pressure cooker also comprises a pressure rod that changes its level based on the pressure of the inner vessel.

An air pressure cooker comprising an upper cover and a bottom cover, wherein an uncovering knob and a heat insulation cover are arranged on the upper cover; the uncovering knob is fixedly connected on the right side of the outer surface of the upper cover, and the heat insulation cover is fixedly connected inside the upper cover; a handle locking block is arranged underneath the uncovering knob, and a motor, a switch connecting rod, cold wind fan blades and a heating tube cover are arranged on the heat insulation cover; the motor is fixedly connected in the middle of the upper end of the heat insulation cover, and the switch connecting rod is fixedly connected on the right side of the heat insulation cover; the cold wind fan blades are movably connected inside the heat insulation cover.

The present invention relates to a pressure oven with a pressurized inner container. The pressure oven includes an oven body, the inner container, an oven door and a handle, where the bottom side of the oven door is rotatably connected with the oven body, the handle is provided on top of the oven door, two locking catches are horizontally provided on the front face of the oven body, the corresponding inner surface of the oven door is provided with two locking hooks, and the handle drives the two locking hooks to rotate via a linkage drive device so as to achieve locking or unlocking between the locking hooks and the locking catches. The pressure oven has a rational structural design, the oven door is convenient for opening and closing, and a pressure relief valve is designed to be on the oven door so as to help combine the oven as an integral part of the entire kitchen. In addition, heating electronic elements are located at the back faces of the oven door and the oven body, such that two side faces of the oven body do not have a heating element. The heating element in the oven door is cooled by a cooling fan, the heat from the heating element at the back face of the oven body is dissipated via heat dissipation holes, such that no heat dissipation hole is needed on the two side faces of the oven body. The oven has an attractive appearance, the inner container is an integral body with a high tensile strength, has no gap, and is easy to clean. The pressure oven can be secured by a hanging hook and can be easily dismounted.

Disclosed herein is a cooking system for cooking food, the system including 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 movable relative to the housing. The lid contacts the housing in a closed position about the upper portion of the housing to close the opening to the hollow chamber.
