A multifunctional valve features an injection function, a vacuuming function, a devacuuming function with fast and slow mode, and a pressure regulating function. The valve can be implemented on any sealingly closed container having a removable lid or a bag having a resealable zipper or any other similar sealable feature. The valve also features a tethered plug with a latch system to secure it in place to additionally provide sealing. The valve is incorporated into a container with a removable lid for microwave pressure cooking. The same valve is incorporated into a plug to close an opening on a barrel.
