The invention is drawn to a double-walled cooking pot having an outer pot, and an inner pot arranged in said outer pot and having a side wall defining a continuous inner surface to receive the product to be cooked. The side walls of the outer pot and inner pot are connected to one another at their bottom portions by a bottom plate made of thermally conductive material and at their upper portions in a manner which forms a discharge rim. To provide a double-walled cooking pot in which it is possible to fasten rapidly and reliably the handle(s) to the side wall of the outer pot, it is provided in essence that the outer pot has a portion that is spaced from the inner pot; and, between the upper and bottom portions at which the inner and outer pots are connected, the side walls of the inner pot and the outer pot make only point or line contact with one another.

An apparatus for signalling an operating condition of a cooking vessel is provided to signal a user of the cooking vessel when a preset condition is reached in the cooking vessel, e.g. temperature or pressure. Cooking vessels are frequently provided with an operating condition display device, such as a thermometer or a pressure gauge, which have a measurement scale and an indicator element moving relative to the measurement scale to indicate the internal condition of the cooking vessel. The apparatus of the present invention provides a housing having therein a detector for detecting a change in the reflected surface light from the operating condition display device caused by the presence of the indicator element of the display device. When the detector detects the change in the reflected light due to the presence of the indicator element, a signalling device, such as an acoustical or optical signalling device, is activated to signal the user of the cooking vessel. The apparatus can be set along the measurement scale at a desired operating condition, such as a specific temperature or pressure, so that the user is warned when the cooking vessel reaches this condition.

A pressure cooker has a pan with a circumferential rim and a lid with a closure part rotatable concentrically thereto for locking the lid on the pan part in a pressure tight manner. The lid and closure part have peripheral flanges each engaging under the edge of the pan part over a maximum of half the length thereof. The flanges are movable into one another and are arranged so that the pan rim can be released from the flanges at least over half its circumference.
