Abstract
Device for cooking food directly in a dish includes a generator for producing hot gaseous fluid, an applicator having a body for covering the dish, an inlet connected to generator for receiving hot gaseous fluid, a seal plate for sealing to the rim of dish to create a closed cooking chamber and a distributor for distributing hot gaseous fluid to food, and an arrangement for allowing the applicator to move upwards and downwards from and to the rim of dish during cooking process to modulate the cooking pressure for the food. Method of use comprises forming a closed cooking chamber between the applicator and dish, increasing the pressure therein to a predetermined pressure, maintaining the predetermined pressure for a period of time and superimposing numerous pressure pulses upon the predetermined pressure for more effective cooking.
