[0024] This embodiment mainly describes the title of the cookware with a slow-release seasoning structure, as follows:

[0025] See attached document Figures 1-5 A cookware with a slow-release seasoning structure includes a cookware body 10 and a lid 20 that fits onto the cookware body 10. The lid 20 is provided with a handle 30. The handle 30 has a receiving cavity 301 and an exhaust channel inside. The bottom of the receiving cavity 301 is attached to and rotated with a rotating plate 40 that is reset by a torsion spring 50. The bottom of the receiving cavity 301 and the rotating plate 40 are provided with arc-shaped holes 303 and 401 that coincide through rotation. The rotating plate 40 has a rotating rod 402 at its center. The rotating rod 402 is provided with an arc-shaped valve core 404. The handle 30 has an arc-shaped insertion hole 304 inside. The inner end of the insertion hole 304 is connected to the exhaust channel, and the valve core 404 is located in the insertion hole 304. In its natural state, the valve core 404 extends into the insertion hole 304 under the action of the torsion spring 50 to close the exhaust channel. The top of the receiving cavity 301 is provided with a detachable top cover. This solution features a rotatable valve core 404, which is opened by the steam generated during boiling. When opened, the rotating plate 40 rotates accordingly, causing the rotating plate 40 to overlap with the arc-shaped holes 303 and 401 at the bottom of the receiving cavity 301.
