Provided is a cooking vessel (1) including a body (2) equipped with a bottom (3) and a lateral wall (4), a handle (20) mounted to the body (2) by mounting means (6, 22), and a sensor (30) disposed in a receiving housing (11) near the bottom (3) and equipped with at least one electrically insulated conducting element (31, 32), said sensor (30) and said conducting element (31, 32) being mounted to a support (40) which extends from the bottom (3) along the lateral wall (4) and which is mounted to the handle (20). The support (40) includes a retaining part (42) for the sensor and the conducting element and at least one programmed deformation area (50, 55a, 55b) to allow mobility between the retaining part (42) for the sensor and the conducting element and the handle (20) in at least one direction.

Certain embodiments herein relate to a chafer skirt that comprises a band that may be removably attached to the perimeter of a chafer dish frame via a securing mechanism. The chafer skirt may further comprise a plurality of plates coupled to the band via a plurality of fasteners, where each of the plurality of plates further comprise an attachment mechanism, to individually attach each of the plates to the perimeter of the chafer dish frame, such that the band wraps around the chafing dish frame and the plurality of plates extend downward from the band to form a wall around one or more sides of the chafing dish frame, thereby enclosing a heat source below the chafing dish frame.

A method of using a fluid-immersion storage and cooking device having a thermal container that defines a first volume and a second volume includes disposing a first food item in the first volume. A second food item and a third food item are disposed in the second volume in a first position and a second position, respectively. A volume of fluid having a first temperature is circulated through the first volume to transfer thermal energy to the first food item. After a predetermined time, at least a portion of the volume of fluid is heated to a second temperature. A portion of the volume of fluid is conveyed to the second volume such that (1) the second food item is substantially submerged in the portion of the volume of fluid and (2) the third food item is disposed substantially outside of the portion of the volume of fluid.
