Abstract
The invention concerns a fitting for a cooking vessel comprising a cooking pot and a cover, especially a steam pressure cooker, with a temperature sensor attached to the cooking vessel, the temperature sensor emitting an electrical signal corresponding to the temperature inside the cooking vessel. In order to precisely detect the temperature of water contents during the heating phase, and in order to be able to use it for indicators, control, and regulation, the temperature sensor is attached to a measuring point in a heat-conducting contact to the external side of the cooking pot in the transition area between the pot bottom and the pot wall, at which point the temperature difference between the temperature of the water contents and the external temperature at the measuring point during the heating process is approximately nil.
