Pressure cooker provided with a manual control for controlling locking

A cooking utensil for cooking food under pressure;

• comprising:
• a vessel;
• a lid configured to be associated with the vessel and locked relative to said vessel to form a cooking enclosure configured for allowing pressure to build up;
• a bayonet-fitting locking system configured to lock and unlock the lid relative to the vessel by the lid being pivoted relative to the vessel about a central vertical axis (X-X′);
• a support to which said lid is attached;
• and,
• a control member for controlling locking that is attached to said support via a mechanical coupling allowing said control member to be moved manually relative to said support and connected to the lid via a movement transformation device for transforming said manual movement of the control member into pivoting of the lid relative to the support about said central vertical axis (X-X′), said mechanical coupling being configured so that said manual movement of the control member is formed by at least a movement in rotation of the control member about an axis of rotation (Y-Y′) parallel to a direction intersecting the central vertical axis (X-X′) or by at least a movement in translation of the control member, and
• wherein said support and said vessel are configured to interact, when the lid is associated with the vessel to form the cooking enclosure, to substantially prevent the support from being able to pivot relative to the vessel about said central vertical axis (X-X′) while the control member is moving manually.
