Apparatus and method for combining hot water and steam to cook food

Abstract

The invention discloses an appliance for cooking foods by combining hot water and steam. The appliance comprises a body and a food container capable of being separated from the body, wherein the body comprises a machine body and a base; the machine body accommodates a water tank and a boiler positioned below the water tank; the base extends from the bottom end of the body laterally and is used for supporting the food container; fluid one-way communication is formed between the water tank and the boiler and between the boiler and the food container; and the boiler is used for receiving and heating water from the water tank and conveying generated hot water and steam into the food container. The invention also discloses a method for cooking foods by using the appliance. The food container can be separated from the body, namely separated from a heat source and a power source; the container is easy to clean; and by the method for cooking the foods by combining the hot water and the steam,the energy is easy to control, the cooking effect is good, and nutrient components of foods cannot be damaged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an appliance and a method for cooking food, in particular to an appliance and a method for combining hot water and steam to cook food. Background technique [0002] In household appliances that need to use hot (boiled) water or hot steam to cook food, usually only a certain heating method is used, that is, hot water or hot steam, such as electric kettles, electric rice cookers, etc. are hot water, or electric steamers etc. are hot steam, and the heating element and the food container are integrated (such as electric kettle, soybean milk machine, etc.), or equivalently integrated (such as electric rice cooker, electric steamer, etc.), so there are two problems that are difficult to overcome: One is that the energy is difficult to control, such as the phenomenon of sticking pot (pipe) and boiling over caused by electric rice cooker and soybean milk machine, which destroys the nutritional content of food and causes waste; second, ...
