Abstract: The invention relates to a food pressure cooking appliance including a bowl and a lid intended to be locked relative to the bowl to form with the latter a cooking chamber adapted to rise in pressure. The appliance includes bayonet locking means forming first and second series of protrusions that are integral with the envelope of the lid and the envelope of the bowl, respectively, and that are intended to cooperate with each other to ensure the locking of the lid relative to the bowl. Each protrusion of at least one of the series consists of a volume element that has opposite convex and concave faces and is formed by a localized radial deformation of the corresponding envelope.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure cooking utensil comprising a vessel, a lid with an annular skirt, and a gasket interposed between the lid and the vessel, said gasket including a ring and a first lip in sealing contact with the top wall of the lid, said utensil being characterized in that it includes a leakage opening formed through said top wall, the annular skirt forming a stop abutment for the ring, said first lip presenting flexibility that is suitable, when the pressure that exists inside the enclosure exceeds a safety threshold, for causing the inside of the enclosure to communicate with the outside through the leakage opening.
