An apparatus for creating custom recipes is disclosed. The apparatus may comprise a body that may hold cartridges having flavouring agents and a cooking chamber connected to the cartridges via a plurality of valves. The apparatus may be controlled by a microcontroller. The apparatus may receive custom formulas for creating custom recipes from users. Upon receiving the formula, the apparatus may determine the quantities of flavouring agents that are to be added from each cartridges and the mode of cooking to create the custom recipe. The apparatus may constantly communicate with the client devices, so that user can monitor real time status of cooking, level of cartridges and so on.

A cooking apparatus includes a dual-chamber container with an inner container for holding a food item to be cooked and an outer container for maintaining contact between a temperature-controlled heat transfer liquid and the inner container while the food is being cooked. The dual-chamber container includes an inlet fluid port and outflow fluid port which may be coupled directly to corresponding fluid port connectors on a temperature control unit, or an intervening fluid coupling assembly may convey heat transfer liquid between the control unit and the dual-chamber container. Some control units are adapted to simultaneously control cooking temperature for more than one dual-chamber container. Some dual-chamber containers have a flexible inner container that is separable from an outer container which may be a rigid container or a flexible container.

A meals preparation machine and a method for preparing meals, using a meals preparation machine, configured to: receive a meal package (MP) into the meals preparation machine, the MP having an identifier thereover; detect one or more characteristics of the identifier of the received MP, using at least one sensor, outputting sensor data indicative of the detected one or more characteristics; identity a meal preparation code of the respective MP, based on the sensor data; retrieve a meal preparation plan that is associated with the identified meal preparation code of the respective MP; and control preparation of a meal of the respective MP, based on the retrieved meal preparation plan.
