Apparatus for cooking food in hot non-aqueous liquids under pressure

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A rotary valve means to simultaneously control flow of a plurality of diverse fluids to and from conduit means for said diverse fluids, comprising a pair of sealingly interengaged, relatively rotatable, inner and outer valving members each having a plurality of inlet ports and a plurality of outlet ports therein, fluid passage means interiorly of said inner valving member interconnecting said inlet ports with said outlet ports in said inner valving members, different selected inlet and outlet ports in the outer valving member registering with different selected inlet and outlet ports in the inner valving member in different relative rotative positions between the inner and outer valving members to enable flow of fluid from some of said conduit means to other of said conduit means, including means to effect simultaneous control of flow of a plurality of diverse fluids through said conduit means and valve means in some of the different relative rotative positions of the valving members, and to preclude flow of at least one of the diverse fluids in other selected relative rotative positions of the valving members.
2.
A rotary valve means as in claim 1, wherein said inner valving member has a frusto-conically shaped outer surface and a plurality of axially and circumferentially spaced apart inlet and outlet ports therein and fluid passage means interiorly thereof interconnecting respective pairs of said inlet and outlet ports, said outer valving member rotatably supported on the inner valving member and having a frusto-conically shaped inner surface matingly engaged on the outer surface of the inner valving member, said outer valving member having a plurality of axially and circumferentially spaced apart inlet and outlet ports therein registerable with selected inlet and outlet ports in the inner valving member in different relative rotational positions of the inner and outer valving members, and a plurality of conduit means connected to the inlet and outlet ports in the outer valving member
