Steam pressure cooking pot

摘要

A steam pressure cooking apparatus includes a connectible pot and lid with respective radially projecting handles thereon, the lid handle lying above the pot handle when the pot and lid are interconnected. A pressure discharge valve is provided in the lid and is controlled by a cam surface on a knob rotatably supported on the lid handle. A cam plate rotated by the knob has a further cam surface thereon which controls a spring-biased locking slide supported on the lid handle and engageable with a cam on the pot handle to prevent relative movement of the handles.
