A pressure cooker is provided. The pressure cooker comprises a base comprising a bottom and at least one sidewall extending from a perimeter of the bottom, a base flange extending about a perimeter of the at least one sidewall opposite the bottom, the bottom and the at least one sidewall defining, at least in part, an interior of the base; and a lid hingedly coupled to the base such that the lid is moveable between an open position that allows access to the interior of the base and a closed position that prevents access to the interior of the base, the lid comprising a lid flange about its perimeter. The pressure cooker further comprises one or more of a pressure release assembly; a spring-loaded hinge assembly; or a clamp assembly.

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.

The present invention relates to cooking utensils. The present invention provides a slow cooker and a locking assembly that have simple and practical structure, easy to clean and can engage the lid with the liner container for preventing spillage of cooking content such as soup. The structure comprises a container, a lid and a locking assembly. The locking assembly retains the lid on the opening of the container. The container has a rim projecting outside at the opening. The locking assembly comprises a connector disposed on the lid for engaging the lid with the opening of the container, and locking end components provided at ends of the connector for engaging with the rim of the liner container. Using the locking assembly to retain the lid in sealing engagement with the opening of the container, the slow cooker can effectively engage the lid with the container.
