DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with the inventive arrangements, a food preparation system and method is provided.
The system includes a base housing, a container detachably engagable with the base housing in which the container is adapted to receive food products.
The system also includes a heater within the base housing and/or the container for converting a liquid into a cooking vapor, and a blade rotatably mounted in the container in which the blade supports the food products during a cooking step and processes the food products during a processing step.
The system can also have positioning structure within the base housing and/or the container for positioning the blade in a cooking position during the cooking step, and for positioning the blade in a processing position during the processing step.
A method according to the invention includes placing food products on a blade rotatably mounted in a container in which the blade contains at least one blade element and the blade element contains at least one vapor vent.
The method can also include placing the blade in a cooking position, converting a liquid into a cooking vapor, directing the cooking vapor through the vapor vent, cooking the food products with the cooking vapor; placing the blade in a processing position, and processing the food products.
In one arrangement of the above system and method, the blade can include a blade column.
The system can also include at least one blade element attached to the blade column in which the blade elements contain at least one vapor vent through which the cooking vapor may pass.
In another arrangement of the above system and method, the blade elements can extend outwardly from the blade column and the blade elements can combine to form a substantially circular or elliptical storage area for the food products during the cooking step.
In this arrangement, at least one of the blade elements can have a cutting edge for processing the food products during the processing step.
In addition, the blade elements can be positioned in separate substantially vertical planes, and opposing blade elements can be positioned in substantially the same vertical position
