ABSTRACT:
A cooking device includes a heater which receives and supports thereon a food container which is adapted to receive and hold therein food to be cooked. The food container includes a cylindrical casing having a top opening and a bottom on which a raised portion with a steam passage is formed. The steam passage has an exit opening at a location higher than the top opening of the casing. A cover is provided to close the open top of the casing. The heater includes a base inside which a water vessel is provided to receive and contain therein a predetermined amount of water. A heating element is provided around the water vessel to heat the water therein for generation of steam. The food container is configured to be fit into the water vessel to define a sealed space therein so that the steam generated inside the water vessel is only allowed to escape out of the water vessel via the steam passage and into the food container to heat and cook the food contained therein and to form a soup with the cooked food when the steam is cooled and condensed into a distilled water which mixes with the food.
