Disclosed apparatus and methods make it convenient for small portions of lasagna to be prepared conveniently and quickly. A cooking vessel and its top re described. The internal chamber of the cookware is rectangular, and its internal sidewalls are vertical. Length of the chamber is selected to accommodate layers of lasagna including a single piece of pasta. A foil container is inserted into the chamber, in which the lasagna layers are constructed, and the lasagna is cooked within the vessel and its insert. Walls of the cookware are made of ferromagnetic material such as cast iron and have a thickness that is capable of holding a significant amount of heat, which is transferred conductively to the lasagna during cooking, including pressure cooking. An induction cooking device is disclosed that does not require the cookware to be heated in a conventional oven. The device functions conjointly with the cookware.

A cooking assembly can include a cooking vessel, a mixer, and a motor. The cooking vessel can include a bottom contact portion including a first bore therethrough, a heating portion spaced above the bottom contact portion and including a second bore therethrough, and a sidewall connected to the heating portion and together with the heating portion configured to retain food in the cooking vessel. The mixer can be located within the cooking vessel, where the mixer configured to rotate relative to the heating portion. The motor can be connected to the mixer via the first bore and the second bore to drive the mixer to rotate.

A cooking appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a heating element, a first false wall, a second false wall, and a spit rod. The cabinet may define a cooking chamber. The cooking chamber may extend along a lateral direction between a first chamber side and a second chamber side. The heating element may be mounted within the cabinet. The first false wall may be slidably positioned within the cooking chamber at the first chamber side. The second false wall may be slidably positioned within the cooking chamber at the second chamber side. The spit rod may define a rotation axis from a first rod end to a second rod. The first rod end may be attached to the first false wall to slide therewith. The second rod end may be attached to the second false wall to slide therewith.

Embodiments of the present application provide a cooking control method and apparatus, a cooking device, and a computer readable storage medium, being applied to cooking devices. The cooking device includes an oil draining apparatus. The cooking control method includes obtaining a cooking instruction; when it is determined that the cooking instruction instructs the initiation of an oil draining function, obtaining a first temperature inside of the cooking device; controlling, according to the first temperature and a pre-set temperature range, the working state of the cooking device, and the cooking ingredients undergo boiling periodically, and the grease inside of the cooking ingredients enters the oil draining apparatus.

A modular oven includes a cabinet receiving separate modules with distinct cooking operations. Modules of the modular oven may provide any combination of convection cooking, steam cooking, impingement cooking, and high speed cooking. Therefore, the modules may be mixed and matched to suit the desired cooking operations. In some embodiments, improved steam cooking at lower cooking temperatures is provided by directing spraying water onto an independent heat source, controlled separately from the cavity heating element, within each cooking zone. By operating a separate heating element specifically for steam generation, there can be more accurate heat control of the cooking zones without overheating the cooking zones when steam is needed but when lower cooking temperatures (e.g., 211 degrees Fahrenheit and below) are desired.

A popcorn popper configured to cook popcorn includes a vessel and an electric heating element which heats the vessel. A vibration element vibrates the vessel and a controller controls the heating element and the vibration element. A temperature sensor is in communication with the controller such that the controller can receive temperature readings from the temperature sensor indicative of a temperature of the vessel. The controller activating the heating element to heat the vessel which contains the popcorn until the temperature sensor indicates that a first temperature has been reached. The controller, based on readings from the temperature sensor, maintains the vessel at a second temperature by controlling a power setting of the heating element and the controller activates the vibration element to vibrate the vessel which thereby vibrates the popcorn. The controller after maintaining the vessel at the second temperature, reduces the power of the heating element.

An electric pressure cooker comprises a body having outer pot and inner pot received therein and a lid covering the cooker body. The outer pot and the lid comprise matching teeth for lockingly engagement upon rotating the lid into closure. The cooker body comprises a pair of cooker handles extending outwardly from a sidewall thereof. The cooker handle comprises handgrip portion. The inner pot comprises inner pot body and a pair of inner pot handles connected thereto. The handgrip portion extends to align with or beyond the inner pot handle, so that a user holding the cooker handles will avoid gripping the inner pot handles. A vertical gap between the inner pot handle and the handgrip portion allows hand access. When the user is reaching for the inner pot handle the fingers will contact the cooker handle, thereby avoiding mistakenly gripping the cooker handle.

A steamer accessory for steam-heating and/or steam-cooking food contained in a container carrying the steamer accessory, includes a steam generator including a steam production chamber connected to at least one steam distribution outlet provided in a lower part of the steam generator, the steamer accessory including a bearing surface intended to rest on the container. The bearing surface has an indentation providing a vent capable of bringing the inside of the container into communication with the outside of the container when the container is carrying the steamer accessory.

The present invention relates to an unattended-cooking rice cooker device in which cooking ingredients such as rice or other grains are supplied, cleaned, and cooked and, more specifically, to an unattended-cooking rice cooker device comprising: a supply unit that divides and stores the cooking ingredients to supply the cooking ingredients; a cleaning unit that receives the cooking ingredients supplied from the supply unit and cleans the cooking ingredients supplied therein while forwardly and backwardly rotating; and a cooking unit including a rice cooker that receives and cooks the cooking ingredients cleaned in the cleaning unit, so as to automatically perform the cleaning and cooking of the ingredients. At the same time, a cleaning drum unit of the cleaning unit can be used as a lid (cap) of the cooking unit including the rice cooker, and thus the number of components can be reduced. In addition, the heat during the cooking is transferred into the cleaning unit to improve hygiene conditions in the cleaning unit.
