Abstract
Disclosed is a food preparation apparatus (100) comprising a food preparation chamber and a pressure chamber (120) for generating steam coupled to the food preparation chamber through a conduit (130), wherein the pressure chamber comprises a heating element (121) for converting water into steam; and the conduit comprises an auto-relief valve (140) arranged to release the steam at a set pressure above atmospheric pressure from the pressure chamber into the food preparation chamber, thereby creating superheated steam in the food preparation chamber by the rapid expansion of the released volume of the above atmospheric pressure (saturated) steam. A method (200) of preparing food in such a food preparation apparatus (100) is also disclosed.
