ABSTRACT:
An improved cooking device includes a generally bowl-shaped fat separator assembly adapted to be placed substantially within a cooking chamber of a crock pot and supported by an upper rim of the crock pot. The fat separator assembly has a fat collection chamber with an adjustable overflow passage for maintaining a predetermined fluid level within the fat collection chamber. A lower cooking plate is supported by the fat separator assembly and has a support surface positioned above the predetermined fluid level for supporting food during cooking. A sidewall extension member has a lower edge supported on the upper rim of the crock pot. A removable cover is supported on an upper end of the sidewall extension member. An upper cooking plate is supported by the sidewall extension member above the lower cooking plate. The upper cooking plate permits fluids to pass therethrough and fall onto the lower cooking plate during cooking. The cooking conditions provided on the lower cooking plate are particularly suitable for cooking meats, while the conditions provided on the upper cooking plate are particularly suitable for cooking vegetables. As foods are being cooked, fats accumulate within the fat collection chamber, and other fluids, such as water and broth, are returned to the bottom of the crock pot through the adjustable overflow passage.
