An electric pressure cooker includes: a main body, an internal pot, a lid coupling ring configured to rotate relative to the main body, an internal lid that is disposed in the lid coupling ring and that defines a steam inlet, a steam discharge module configured to rotate relative to the internal lid and discharge steam; a lid handle that is configured to rotate the lid coupling ring relative to the main body and that includes a button configured to receive external force; and an external force delivery part configured to receive the external force from the button and transmit the external force to rotate the steam discharge module. The button is configured to: in a first manipulation state, allow rotation of the lid handle; and in a second manipulation state, apply the external force to the external force delivery part to thereby rotate the steam discharge module.

Control equipment and method for pressure cooking appliance, and pressure cooking appliance. The equipment comprises: a temperature detecting device for detecting a temperature value within a pot of a pressure cooking appliance; a floater detecting device for detecting whether a floater of the pressure cooking appliance is in a floating state; and a control device used for: calculating a target temperature value according to a first temperature value detected by the temperature detecting device when the floater is in the floating state and a preset target pressure value, and controlling a heater of the pressure cooking appliance according to the target temperature value. The present disclosure can perform control by means of corresponding different target temperature values at different altitudes to achieve a target pressure, so that the quality of food cooked by the pressure cooking appliance would not be affected by the altitude.

The present invention provides a combination pressure cooker and air fryer including a lid that may be selectively attached to a vessel. The lid may be adjustable between two general cooking positions. In the first cooking position, the lid may operate with the vessel as a pressure cooker. In the second cooking position, the may operate with the vessel as an air fryer. In performing either of the pressure cooking or air fryer cooking functions, the lid does not need to be replaced.

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.

An electric cooker is configured to cook food in a pressurized state and a non-pressurized state of an inner pot, thereby improving the cooking quality and convenience of use. The electric cooker includes a main body having an inner pot configured to accommodate food and a heating unit; a lid coupled to an upper portion of the main body and opened/closed by an opening/closing unit; and a pressure switching selection unit arranged to pass through the lid and configured to switch or maintain opened/closed states to discharge internal steam from the inner pot by interworking with the opening/closing unit.

A rice cooker assembly uses machine learning models to identify and classify different types of food stored. The rice cooker has a chamber including different compartments for storing different types of food. A camera is positioned to view an interior of the chamber. The camera captures images of the contents of the chamber. From the images, the machine learning model classifies the different types of food stored. The rice cooker determines a mixture of different types of food based on nutrition value and/or taste. The rice cooker creates the mixture and controls the cooking process accordingly. The one or more machine learning models may be resident in the rice cooker or it may be accessed via a network.

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.
