A pressure cooker pressure regulator having at least two operating thresholds, the regulator being of the type comprising a valve body fixed to the lid of a pressure cooker and having a valve seat formed therein, and a needle carrying a rating mass and bearing against the seat, the regulator is such that the needle is slidably mounted relative to the rating mass, that a spring is interposed between the needle and the rating mass, and that means are provided for adjusting the force exerted by the spring on the needle and comprising means selectively implemented to oppose upward displacement of the rating mass relative to the valve body under the effect of pressure applied to the needle via the seat.
The cooking pressure setting valve (1) for a pressure cooker (2, 3) comprises a setting knob (6) housed in the radial handle of the cooker lid (3), an outer casing (5) covered by the setting knob (6), a central valve body (10) provided with a cap disc (19) for sealing with the setting knob, a valve seat (9) an a valve member (8) with a axial central hole in communication with a diaphragm (18), a pressure regulating spring (11), an axial pressure indication stem (15) pushed by the diaphragm and guided by cap disc, and a pivoting spherical shell (16) jointed to the axial stem and visible from the outside of the setting knob.
