A cooking vessel has a container having an encircling container margin bent outwardly and with a cover having an encircling cover margin bent outwardly. The container can be closed airtight by the cover with the aid of a closing mechanism acting on the container margin and cover margin. The closing mechanism comprises a closure ring extending over the container circumference with a C-profile cross section open radially inwardly, which, with the aid of an actuating mechanism, can be moved from an open position with greater diameter, in which the cover can be lifted from the container, into a closed position with lesser diameter, in which the container margin and the cover margin are clamped together by interspacing a sealing ring between a lower flank and an upper flank of the closure ring. To improve the safety and the operating ease, either the encircling flanks of the closure ring are provided with radial slots open toward the inner flank margin and distributed over the circumference and/or the flanks are formed by C-profile segments, short in the circumferential direction, and disposed on an encircling annular connection element radially at the outside while keeping vacant interspaces distributed over the circumference.
