Abstract: The invention relates to, a cooking vessel (1) intended to be placed on a heating source, said cooking vessel (1) comprising a side wall (4) and a handle (10) secured to said side wall (4) by fastening elements (15, 16), said handle (10) comprising a tubular gripping portion (11) which extends radially to the lateral wall (4) in a longitudinal direction X and which has an attachment end (12) and a free end (13) provided with an orifice (14). According to the invention, the attachment end (12) is closed by an end wall (4a) and the attachment end (12) comprises a closed bottom wall (17) and an upper wall (18) provided with at least one through opening (20) arranged adjacent to the side wall (4) so that rising hot currents which, during cooking, travel along the side wall (4), in the place where the handle (10) is attached create suction near the at least one opening (20) in order to generate an air flow front the orifice (14) to the inside of the tubular gripping portion (11) and thereby cool it.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooking vessel (1) comprising a cap (2) equipped with an end wall (3). According to the invention, the end wall (3) comprises a housing (6) accomodating at least one bimetallic element (30a, 30b) that adopts a cold stable first position when the temperature is below a predetermined temperature and toggles into a hot stable second position when the temperature is above the predetermined temperature, and vice versa, the transition from the first stable position to the second stable position generating an audible signal designed to be perceived by a user or by an external device.

Abstract: A steamer accessory includes a water reservoir communicating with the outside via a filling orifice, and a steam generator including a steam production chamber connected to at least one steam distribution outlet provided in a lower part of the steam generator, the water reservoir communicating with the steam production chamber via a water supply inlet. The steam production chamber communicates with at least one steam evacuation outlet disposed higher up than the water supply inlet, the steam production chamber being confined above the steam evacuation outlet(s), the or each steam evacuation outlet communicating via a duct with the or one of the steam distribution outlet(s).
