An appliance for cooking food articles includes a receptacle (10) for receiving a quantity of food articles to be cooked, and a sufficient quantity of cooking liquid to only partially immerse the food articles therein; a heater (14) for heating the cooking liquid and the food articles when received therein; a paddle (15) movably mounted with respect to the receptacle so as to be movable therein; and a periodically-reversing drive (M) for driving the paddle back and forth in the receptacle to move the food articles therein back and forth through the cooking liquid. The appliance is particularly useful for frying as it causes all the surfaces of the food article to be crisply fried without absorbing undue quantities of the frying oil. The appliance is also useful for other applications including steaming food, cooking rice, and popping corn.
