In this way serve the guide rails 741 . 743 not only as a guide member for the vapor pressure regulating plate 770 but also as outside Enwand the internal thread sections 741a . 743a that are trained in it. Such an arrangement is useful because it can accommodate the slanted space 731 is saved.

As described above, vibration caused by non-uniform vapor pressure can be avoided because the vapor pressure regulating plate 770 according to the present embodiment is configured to raise with a slope. In addition, the vapor discharge path is relatively easily passable as compared with a rectangular discharge path, which is advantageous in that it shortens the residence time of the vapor in the discharge path, whereby the vapor condensation can be effectively reduced.

As in 6 and 9 shown, the cap portion 730 a locking means 790 which is capable of raising the vapor pressure regulating plate 770 to suppress. The locking means 790 is useful if you do not want to drain steam depending on the food you prepare.

The locking means 790 is from a lift guide part 791 , a locking piece 793 slidably engaged with the lift guide member 791 stands, and an actuating means of the locking piece 793 built up.

As in 6 shown, the actuating means comprises a control knob 797 and a rotating cylinder body 795 by pressing the control button 797 is rotatable. On an outer surface of the rotary cylinder body 795 is a spiral groove 795a provided, at the beginning of an entrance groove 795B for a head start 793a is formed, which will be described in more detail later. The rotary cylinder body 795 is in a through hole 794 arranged at a central portion of the cap portion 730 is trained. The control knob 797 and the rotating cylinder body 795 are with the help of an intervention recess 798a and an engagement projection 798B formed interconnected. There is also a screw 796 introduced, which increases the engagement strength. In addition, by a polygonal formation of the Eingreifvertiefung 798a and the engagement projection 798B prevents the intervention recess 798a and the engagement projection 798B slide past each other so that the rotation between them can be transmitted reliably. The locking piece 793 is with a lead 793a equipped, which is configured to be in the spiral groove 795a slides.
