A cooking apparatus suitable for use in cooking grain 3 (e.g. rice) having a predetermined size in water, comprises a vessel 1 having a base 5 through which heat 2 is supplied to the interior of the vessel 1 and above which is supported in closely spaced apart proximity thereto on plate 4 supporting the grain 3 in use of the apparatus. The plate 4 has a large plurality of small perforations 8 extending substantially across it, the perforations 8 having a smaller diameter than the predetermined grain size. A cloth 6 of food grade fibrous material is placed on top of the body of rice 3 in the saucepan. The rice is heated to a high temperature below boiling, then boiled for a few minutes, the heating discontinued, and the rice left to stand until water absorption is complete. <IMAGE> |
