A container for heating and cooking food includes: a lower containment body; an upper cover hermetically coupling with the lower containment body; and an automatic valve, in the shape of a cap, integrated in the upper cover, allowing steam to vent. The automatic venting valve includes: a control member controlling the pressure inside the container; and an elastic tongue associated and moulded in one piece with the control member. The control member is housed and rotatable in a recess in the upper cover. The elastic tongue has a deformed configuration, applying an elastic force pressing and closing the control member against a through hole in the bottom of the recess housing the control member, preventing the steam from exiting the container. When the steam pressure reaches a critical value, the control member rotates and tilts, removing the control member from the through hole, allowing the steam to vent.

A microwaveable container for holding food includes a first container, a second container and a lid. The first container has a lower food holding space sized and shaped to hold a first food and a second container receiving space disposed above the lower food holding space. The first container has a shoulder extending outward from the lower food holding space. The second container nests with the first container and has an upper food holding space sized and shaped to hold a second food. The second container is positionable in the second container receiving space of the first container such that the second container separates the first and second foods held in the respective lower and upper food holding spaces. The second container engages and rests on the shoulder of the first container when nested. The lid attaches directly to the first container.

A sous vide assembly for use in a microwave oven includes an outer tank and an inner tank positioned inside the outer tank to define a heating gap therebetween. The inner tank and the outer tank are filled with water and are in fluid communication with each other through one or more apertures. One or more vertical dividers are positioned within the inner tank and extend along the vertical direction to define a plurality of food chambers and a cover is mounted over the one or more vertical dividers and is movable between an open position and a closed position to provide selective access to the plurality of food chambers and keep food submerged during the sous vide cooking process.

According to one example, a removable lid for a container of a vessel includes a valve configured to selectively allow air to vent out of a fluid retaining interior region of the container when the lid is positioned on the container. The valve includes an opening that extends entirely through a thickness of a portion of the lid, and a valve plug. The valve plug includes a valve top portion that extends vertically above a top surface of the portion of the lid, a valve bottom portion, and a valve central portion. The valve top portion is configured to be contracted, by a downward pressure, into a more vertically compact shape. The valve top portion is further configured to, absent the downward pressure, expand back upwards out of the more vertically compact shape.

The invention describes a device for preparing infüsions, suitable for preparing infüsions in a micro wave. The device comprises: a lowertank transparent to electromagnetic radiation, with a valve; an upper tank screwed to the lower tank; a funnel that connects the tanks; an extraction área containing material to be extracted with filtering means; a cover; and means for making the device leak tight, the device comprising áreas for shielding against electromagnetic waves in the extraction área, the upper tank and the cover. In the preferred embodiments, the device comprises a float, needles and thermal reinforcement áreas. The device allows infüsions to be obtained without the volatile compounds degrading.

A microwave baking tray with rigid supports, including a pair of supports and a microwave baking tray. The supports are installed on the outer sides of upper and lower units of the microwave baking tray, a lock catch is arranged on the supports, the lock catch is used to align position and snap with the upper and lower units, the upper and lower units of the microwave baking tray both include metal baking trays and baking tray sheaths, the supports include an upper horizontal bar and a lower horizontal bar, the upper and lower horizontal bars are connected by a connecting bar to form a frame structure, and the rigidity of the supports is greater than that of the baking tray sheath. The support connects the upper and lower units of the microwave baking tray to form a baking cavity, providing support and protection for the baking tray sheath.

A frozen food product according to the present application comprises: a frozen food; a food container having formed therein an inner space for accommodating the frozen food and formed of an edible material; and a packaging material including a first packaging material surrounding the frozen food and disposed between the food container and the frozen food, and a second packaging material surrounding the food container, in order to prevent moisture from being transferred to the food container, wherein the packaging material generates heat by means of microwaves.

A cooking appliance includes a cooking cavity, a microwave module, and a turntable rotatably mounted in the cooking cavity. An upper pan is mounted above the turntable. The cooking appliance also includes a motor operatively coupled to the turntable to rotate the turntable and the upper pan within the cooking cavity.

The present invention relates to a support system (10) for an object, in particular for food (34) being treated. The support system (10) comprises an upper part (12) and a lower part (14). The upper part (12) includes a support plate (16) for bearing the object (34). The support system (10) comprises at least three guiding elements (20) and a guiding rail (22). The guiding elements (20) belong to one of the upper part (12) or the lower part (14), while the guiding rail (22) belongs to the other one of the upper part (12) or the lower part (14). The guiding rail (22) is formed as a circular ring and includes at least three identical segments. Each segment of the guiding rail (22) includes at least three horizontal sections arranged at different levels. The upper part (12) is rotatable with respect to the lower part (14) around a common vertical central axis. The guiding elements (20) are sliding along the guiding rail (22) during the rotation of the upper part (12) with respect to the lower part (14). The level of the support plate (16) is adjustable by the rotation of the upper part (12) with respect to the lower part (14).
