Abstract:
1. A method of marketing food comprising: (a) providing a fluid-food preparation device in a location, said device being operable to prepare a sterile liquid food by combining at least one dry food component with water sterilized by boiling within said device, and serving said combination accurately heated to a predetermined temperature, and wherein said device comprises: (b) identifying said device as being associated with at least one mark, said mark associated with a manufacturer of at least one component of said combination; (c) introducing in a dispenser of said device a food component associated with said food component manufacturer; and (d) providing a customer with fluid food made by said device, the method characterized in that (e) said data-processor/controller is further configured to command alternating periodic heating of water in said first and second reservoirs to sterilization temperatures, thereby periodically re-boiling said water; and (f) said data-processor/controller is further configured to command heating of water in said first reservoir only when water in said second reservoir is below said predetermined temperature, and to command heating of water in said second reservoir only when water in said first reservoir is below said predetermined temperature, thereby enabling periodic re-boiling of water both in said first and in said second reservoirs, while also enabling use of said device for preparation of said food at said predetermined temperature by mixing said formula with selected amounts of water from said first and second reservoirs during all phases of said periodic re-boiling.
