An example of a cooking apparatus includes a food vessel with a receptacle for holding food, a stored identity for selecting operating parameters related to the food vessel, for example safe operating limits, a program module adapted to transmit the stored identity, and a base unit adapted to detect the stored identity and control a thermal element according to parameters assigned to the stored identity. The program module may transmit the stored identity to the base unit by mechanical contact or by wired or wireless communication. Another embodiment of the invention comprises a food vessel with an outer housing and an inner receptacle separated from the outer housing by an air gap. A program module with a stored identity may be removably connected to the food vessel in the gap between the inner receptacle and outer housing.
