Abstract:
A system dedicated to ecologic cooking of food, comprising an external container and corresponding cover having means for facilitating the regulation of aeriform fluids and/or vapour outlet, having within the external container an interchangeable internal container as accessory upon which the food to be cooked should be placed, the container and the cover are fastened together by means of a semihermetic closing system, and within the system a first ambient of heat tempered by humidity is produced wherein food is maintained, the ambient being formed by the internal faces of the internal interchangeable container which becomes tempered from a second ambient comprising hot water and/or steam, said second ambient formed by the internal faces of the external container and the external faces of the internal container; wherein:said cover semi-hermetically attached to the external container includes the regulation means for outlet of aeriform fluid, and said means comprise an embossment which has a first slot upon which a sheet is placed which has a second slot, said sheet having a manieuvering rod; the whole set being covered by a cap having a third slot in a way that by matching totally or partially said slots they enable the control of outlet of the aeriform fluid;the internal container is hanging inside the external container at least from one point, in a way minimizing the metal-to-metal contact, permitting the isolation of food from red-hot metal, and thereby the food placed in said interchangeable internal container or first ambient becomes cooked by effect of the heat produced from the second ambient comprising hot water and/or steam, both ambients being in communication or not being in communication between each other, permitting the food to be cooked by immersion in hot water and/or by effect of steam.
