A tray for receiving food for a cooking device is described. The cooking device includes a housing defining a cooking chamber, the housing having an opening providing access to the cooking chamber. The cooking device further includes a tray including a body defining a base, and a handle attached to the body. The tray may be received in the housing through the opening, and may be removable from the housing through the opening. When the tray is received in the housing, the handle is moveable with respect to the housing between an extended position, in which the handle extends out of the cooking chamber, and a retracted position, in which the handle is received within the cooking chamber. The cooking device furthermore includes a moving mechanism for moving the handle to the extended position. The handle of the tray may be biased to the extended position.

A sous vide device (100) including an outer housing (104) within which there is located a heated tube (448) surrounding inner tubular wall (311), with the inner tubular wall (311) providing a first duct (461), and a second duct (462) being provided between the inner tubular wall and outer tubular wall with the first duct (461) and second duct (462) co-operating to provide a fluid flow path extending from an inlet (107) to an outlet (106), with vanes (450) being attached to the inner tubular wall (311) so as to be rotatably driven thereby to cause the liquid to pass along the fluid flow path.

A cooking vessel includes: a vessel body with at least one handle arranged on the vessel body, the vessel body delimiting a space for receiving food to be cooked, which space is open at a top in a use position of the cooking vessel and is intended for receiving food to be cooked, the vessel body having an outer shell which is connected or connectable to the handle, and an inner shell which is connected to the outer shell when the cooking vessel is assembled, the outer shell receiving the inner shell when the cooking vessel is assembled, and the space for receiving food to be cooked being formed in the inner shell. A wall inner face of the outer shell, which faces the inner shell, and a wall outer face of the inner shell, which faces the outer shell, are each conical.

Embodiments disclose a utility model that pertains to pre-cooked and pre-processed food industry for food placement and packaging method to enable uniform heating of food by end customer. The method comprises of pushing an external object (insert piece device) into the food body to allow food to be pushed against the outer walls of the food container. Once desired proportion is achieved, the insert piece device is removed from the food body to form an open cavity in the food body. The cavity creates more open surface area of food exposed for better heat transfer and also reduces food thickness and removes the solid food fill that forms hard-to-heat cold pockets, so now when the food is heated by way of conduction, convection or radiation the heat transfer can reach the food to a greater degree to heat it uniformly and efficiently. The central cavity can be used to store variety of items comprising of food, health and personal items.

A disposable food pan liner may have a shape that is complimentary to the food pan into which it is intended to be inserted. The disposable food pan liner may include a base that forms the bottom of the liner, at least one sidewall extending upwards from the base and forming the side of the liner, and an opening opposite the base. A lip may extend outward from the sidewalls at the opening. The disposable food pan liner may include additional elements such as a handle, a utensil rest, a lid, and a reinforcing feature.
