An apparatus for rapidly cooking food, the apparatus comprising: a housing comprising a container configured to be placed in the housing in a position above the hot plate and below the binary distributor; and a gasket positioned between the container and the binary distributor; wherein the heating element is configured to heat water in the reservoir, thereby producing steam that travels into the binary distributor, wherein the binary distributor is configured to pressurize the steam, thereby producing pressurized steam that exits a bottom of the binary distributor, enters a top of the container, and cooks a top portion of food located in the container, and wherein the gasket is configured to create a vapor tight seal between the container and the binary distributor to prevent any pressurized steam exiting the binary distributor from escaping into the surrounding environment.
