Double container food cooker - has lid resting on inner container and outer container acting as water bath to retain juices and vitamins

摘要

Fresh foods are cooked at a temperature of up to 100 deg.C and at a pressure similar in the main to normal atmospheric pressure, using a biological method. At no time is food in contact with water, which only transmit heat. Juices from the food during cooking are not diffused into the water. Two containers (1, 2) fit into each other, the first containing water, the second food. The second container may be of a rigid manufacture or consist of tin foil and be disposable. It touches the first and outside container only by its rim by which it is suspended in a manner assuring its watertightness. The lid of the outside container (3) is held in place by a spring loaded hook (5) and fits only over the inside container (2) allowing the steam to escape from the outside container.
