A food heating apparatus includes a main tank, a water exhaust tank, reserve tanks, communication chambers, heat insulating partition walls, a water exhaust tank and pressure exhaust pipes. The main tank stores water exceeding 100° C. The reserve tanks communicate with the main tank and imparts hydraulic head pressure to the water in the main tank. The communication chambers are respectively between the main tank and the reserve tank and have top plates higher than a top plate of the main tank. The heat insulating partition walls separate the main tank and each reserve tank and protrude into the front communication chamber. The water exhaust tank higher than the communication chambers has an upper surface higher than water surfaces of the reserve tanks. The pressure exhaust pipes have inlet openings in the top plates of the communication chambers and outlet openings within the water exhaust tank higher than the water surfaces.

A cooking system for cooking food includes a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive a food container. The housing has an upper portion defining an opening to the hollow chamber. A lid is configured to cover the upper portion of the housing and the opening to the hollow chamber in a closed position. The lid is movable to an open position where the lid does not cover the opening to the hollow chamber. At least one heating element associated with at least one of said housing and said lid. The cooking system is operable in a plurality of modes including a pressure cooking mode and a convective cooking mode. In the pressure cooking mode, the cooking system is operable as a pressure cooker, and in the convective cooking mode, the cooking system is operable as a convection cooker.

Disclosed herein is a cooking system for cooking food, the system including a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive a food container. The housing has an upper portion defining an opening to the hollow chamber. A food container having a hollow container interior is positionable within the hollow chamber. An end of the food container extends above the upper portion of the housing when the container is installed within the hollow chamber. A lid is moveably attached to the housing and is moveable between a first position that covers the upper portion of the housing and the opening to the hollow chamber when the food container is installed within the hollow chamber and a second position where the lid does not cover the opening to the hollow chamber. At least one heating element is associated with at least one of said lid and said housing.

A cooking system for cooking pasta; the system is configured to feed a given quantity of liquid water at a temperature of at least 50° C. to a container and to feed water vapour to the container containing a given quantity of pasta for an amount of time ranging from 7 to 40 seconds.

A cooking procedure to cook pasta; the procedure comprises a water feeding step. During which a given quantity of liquid water at a temperature of at least 50° C. is fed to a container; and a vapour feeding step, during which a given quantity of water vapour is fed to the container containing a given quantity of pasta for an amount of time ranging from 7 to 40 seconds; the vapour feeding step is at least partially simultaneous with or subsequent to the water feeding step.
