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 said hollow chamber. A lid is movable relative to said 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. At least one heating element is associated with at least one of said housing and said lid. The cooking system is operable in a plurality of cooking modes including a pressure cooking mode and a convective cooking mode. In said pressure cooking mode, the cooking system is operable as a pressure cooker and in said convective cooking mode, the cooking system is operable as a convection cooker.

The present disclosure provides a float valve motion detection device, a pot cover assembly and a pressure cooking appliance, the float valve motion detection device comprising: a float valve, a hollow inductance coil and a detection circuit. A valve core of the float valve is made of materials having permeability unequal to that of air. When the valve core is pushed by the pressure in a pot from a first position to a second position, the volume of the valve core in the hollow inductance coil changes, which changes the inductance of the hollow inductance coil. A detection circuit determines the position of the valve core by means of detecting the change in the inductance of the hollow inductance coil so as to determine whether it is safe to uncover at the current time.

A cooking vessel has a cooking chamber and a plurality of ingredient storage containers arranged to selectively dispense ingredients into the cooking chamber. Each storage container has a closure member selectively movable between an open position, in which the container is open to the cooking chamber, and a closed position in which the container is sealed from the cooking chamber. Each storage container has a rigid outer wall and a flexible inner liner. A device is provided for feeding a fluid to a position between the outer wall and the liner when the closure member is in its open position to eject the liner from the container and cause any ingredients located therein to pass from the storage container to the cooking chamber.

A steam regulation valve, includes: a first portion, a second portion, and a flow path defined by the first portion and the second portion. The second portion is movable relative to the first portion to decrease a cross-sectional area of the flow path in response to an increase in pressure applied to the second portion.

A cooking appliance is provided. The cooking appliance comprises a cooker body for receiving food and a lid for covering the cooker body. The cooking appliance has a front side for facilitating cooking operations and a rear side spaced apart from the front side. The cooker body comprises at least one latch slot disposed on an inclined rear side of the cooker body. The lid comprises at least one latch bar disposed on a periphery thereof and extending outwardly therefrom. When the lid is detached from the cooker body, the latch bar is operable to be inserted into the corresponding latch slot to secure the lid at the inclined rear side of the cooker body, allowing a user to secure the lid to the latch slot without reaching a rear side of the cooker body by hand, and to retrieve the food without accidentally contacting the lid.

Pressure cooker having a lid comprising a lid handle and a cooking vessel comprising a vessel handle, wherein the cooking vessel is closeable with the lid in a fluid-tight manner by means of a closure mechanism by the lid handle and the vessel handle being placed one above the other, wherein one of the two handles comprises a coupling group which has two coupling elements which can be mechanically coupled to, or uncoupled from, each other, and the other of the two handles comprises a coupling device constructed for said coupling together and/or said uncoupling in such a manner that, when the lid handle and the vessel handle are placed one above the other, the two coupling elements are either mechanically uncoupled from each other by means of the coupling device or mechanically coupled to each other.
