Bayonet fitting pressure cooker provided with a control member

A cooking utensil for cooking food under pressure, comprising:

• a vessel;
• a lid;
• a bayonet-fitting locking system;
• and,
• a lid subassembly that comprises both said lid and a support attached to said lid in such a manner that said lid can pivot relative to said support between two positions corresponding respectively to an unlocking configuration and to a locking configuration of said lid subassembly, the lid subassembly in the unlocking configuration and the vessel being configured to be united in at least one predetermined relative arrangement enabling said bayonet-fitting locking system to lock the lid to the vessel by the lid being pivoted in order to cause the lid subassembly to go from its unlocking configuration to its locking configuration;
• a control member for controlling the locking/unlocking, which member is attached to said support in such a manner as to be movable relative to said support between a locking position and an unlocking position;
• and,
• a transformation device for transforming the movement of the control member into pivoting of the lid relative to the support so that said locking and unlocking positions correspond respectively to said locking and unlocking configurations, said control member being shaped to be capable of being taken hold of manually in order to enable the lid subassembly to be manipulated via it, said control member being connected mechanically to the support so that said lid subassembly being lifted manually via the control member against the weight of said lid subassembly, causes the control member to be urged back into its unlocking position under the effect of said weight of the lid subassembly.
