A microwave cooking device is used for cooking food using steam inside a microwave oven. The device includes an outer body with a top portion that has a recessed portion with the ability to hold water, to aid in the microwave cooking and reheating process, protruding inwardly and towards a bottom portion of the device. The device further includes ridges on the outer body configured to be collapsible and expandable. The device has handles on the outer body configured to allow a user to pick up the device or hot dishware after microwaving. The recessed portion of the device includes (i) a rotatable knob with plurality of leaves, and (ii) plurality of holes. The device prevents splattering of food inside the microwave oven and is inexpensive, eco-friendly, easy to use and can be washed in the dishware after use.

A method includes inserting a food item into an inner volume of a thermal container. A liquid circulating through a liquid jacket at least partially surrounding and fluidically isolated from the inner volume of the thermal container is cooled such that thermal energy from the food item is transferred to the cooled liquid. After the cooling, thermal energy from a first heating element is transferred to the liquid circulating through the liquid jacket such that thermal energy from the heated liquid is transferred to the food item. Thermal energy from a second heating element is transferred to the food item in response to a criterion being satisfied. The second heating element is different from the first heating element and is disposed in the inner volume of the thermal container.
