A device to improve microwave cooking is described. The device ( 10 ) comprises a plurality of containers ( 12, 22 ) that include a venting mechanism ( 15, 25 ) on each container ( 12, 22 ). On of the containers ( 12 ) defines a first volume ( 14 ) for holding food. Another container ( 22 ) defines a second volume ( 24 ) and is operatively coupled to the first container ( 12 ). During microwaving of the food, steam is released into the first volume ( 14 ) defined by one of the containers ( 12 ). Pressure builds up creating a first pressure treatment for the food until the venting mechanism ( 15 ) is activated. Steam exits the first volume ( 14 ) through the venting mechanism ( 15 ) and enters the second volume ( 24 ). Again, pressure builds up to create a second pressure treatment for the food until the venting mechanism ( 25 ) for the container ( 22 ) is activated. |
