SKILLET FOR USING CONVECTION ACTION IN A SEALED COMPARTMENT

The skillet of the present disclosure includes a pan, a lid, and a gasket so that when the lid is placed on top of the pan, the lid is sealed to the pan because of the gasket. An interior space is defined, so that water and food product to be cooked can be placed therein. A fan is connected to the lid and circulates air within the interior space. A heating element supplies heat energy to the pan. A pressure release valve is connected to the lid, as is a pressure sensor. A controller can receive pressure readings from the pressure sensor, and control the heating element, fan, and pressure release valve to keep the pressure in the interior space within a desired level.
