Abstract: The invention relates to a basket (1) for cooking food for a cooking utensil designed to cook the food in an atmosphere charged with steam, said basket (1) having a bottom (6) that is permeable to steam and an upper annular side wall (8) extending upwards from said bottom (6) so as to co-operate therewith to form a receptacle for receiving said food, said basket being characterized in that it further has a lower annular side wall (9) extending downwards from said bottom (6), said lower annular side wall (9) being shaped to channel the steam towards said bottom (6) so that the steam channeled in this way passes at least locally through said bottom (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device comprising a light source, a light source support, and a cover that extends longitudinally along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. Each of the first and second ends includes an opening and the light source support is adapted to be moved in part or in full through a said opening. The lighting device also has a closure member for closing at least one of the openings at the first and second ends, the closure member being movable between a closed position and an open position, and a connector (18) having a first connection member and a second connection member. In the closed position of the closure member the first and second connection members are connected together by an electrical contact, which is a butt contact inside the inside space of the cover. The invention also provides a method of taking action on such a device.
