Abstract: A cookpot lid according to the instant invention has a lid body formed with two vertically throughgoing apertures and a reservoir overlying the aperture and rotatable on the lid body about an axis adjacent the aperture. The reservoir is formed with two vertically throughgoing holes alignable vertically with the respective apertures in a predetermined angular position of the reservoir on the lid body. The holes and apertures are spaced the same distance from the axis. A stop is provided so that in one end position of the reservoir, which is formed as a handle, the two holes are aligned with the apertures for maximum flow, and in the opposite end position only one of the apertures is aligned with only one of the holes for less flow. In between these positions no hole is aligned with an aperture so no flow is possible.

Abstract: A pressure cooker has a cooking container, a cover retainable on the container by a bayonet lock and having a sealing ring, a radially extending handle on the cover, and a combined valve and safety device arranged in the handle and having valve elements, safety elements and one common operating element interdependently adjusting and actuating the valve and safety elements. The valve elements of the device include a pressure limiting valve simultaneously forming a safety valve and one slider arranged to adjust the pressure limiting valve. The safety elements of the device include two further sliders one of which is formed as a ventilating slider and arranged for lifting of the sealing ring of the cover whereas the other of the sliders is formed as a locking slider and arranged for mechanical locking of the cover on the container.
