Claim:
An electrical cooking appliance comprising: a case forming a cooking container with a vat that is closed by a pivoting cover mounted on the case; the pivoting cover includes a joint attached to an outer surface of the pivoting cover, and the joint at a transverse section forming a spout designed so that the joint includes a channel with a first extremity and a second extremity, wherein the first extremity opens into the spout, and the second extremity is located at a condensate reservoir when the pivoting cover is raised, and a lower section of the joint includes a rim which forms the channel, and the rim allows for condensate from the pivoting cover to be retained when the pivoting cover is lowered; and closing mechanisms to close the channel when the pivoting cover is lowered, wherein the closing mechanisms consist of at least one rib on the case or on the pivoting cover at the channel and the height of the ribs is designed so that, when the pivoting cover is lowered, the distance between the ribs and the case or the pivoting cover is less than the inside diameter of the channel.
