Multi-sectional cooker

Abstract

A process of using a cooking system comprising several inner containers, wherein a set of cooking parameters for each inner container is independently selectable, for the automatic and simultaneous preparation of different style, recipe or taste of food in each of the plurality of the inner containers.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of simultaneously cooking different style, recipe or taste of food, using a cooking system comprising a cooker having a single cooking housing being defined by an exterior bottom surface, exterior side walls, an upper surface, an interior bottom surface, and interior side walls, wherein there is a gap between the exterior side walls and the interior side walls, and wherein the interior bottom surface and the interior side walls define a single interior cavity having a first volume, a large inner container for receiving and cooking food having a second volume substantially equal with the first volume of the single interior cavity, the large inner container being configured for insertion into the single interior cavity when a user wants to cook a large quantity of a single style, recipe or taste of food, a plurality of inner container sets comprising a set of two inner containers and a set of three inner containers, each set of the plurality of inner container sets having a total volume substantially equal with the second volume of the large inner container and being configured to operationally replace the large inner container into the single interior cavity of the single cooking housing when the user wants to simultaneously cook a number of styles, recipes or tastes of food equal with the number of inner containers in each set, wherein, when a set of inner containers is operated, a set of cooking parameters for each inner container is independently selectable, thus, permitting the automatic and simultaneous preparation of different style, recipe or taste of food in each of the inner containers in the set, the method comprising in any order the steps of: placing food ingredients in each inner container according to a unique recipe followed in each inner container; and, selecting unique cooking parameters for each inner container according to the style, recipe or taste of food desired to be cooked in each inner container. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the cooking parameters are temperature and time. 
     
     
         3 . A method of simultaneously cooking different style, recipe or taste of food, using a cooking system comprising a cooker having a double-walled cooking housing being defined by an exterior bottom surface, exterior side walls, an upper surface, an interior bottom surface, and interior side walls, wherein there is a gap between the exterior side walls and the interior side walls, wherein the interior bottom surface and the interior side walls define a single interior cavity of a predetermined volume, configured to selectively and substantially fillably receive one inner container or a plurality of inner containers, the size of each inner container being inversely proportional to the number of inner containers received, such that the single interior cavity is always substantially filled; wherein, when the one inner container is received in the interior cavity, a user can prepare a large volume of a single style, recipe, or taste of food, or when the plurality of inner containers is received, the cooking system can operate the plurality of inner containers such that a set of cooking parameters for each inner container is independently selectable, thus, permitting the automatic and simultaneous preparation of different style, recipe or taste of food in each of the plurality of the inner containers, the method comprising in any order the steps of: placing food ingredients in each inner container of the plurality of the inner containers according to a unique recipe followed in each inner container; and, selecting unique cooking parameters for each inner container according to the style, recipe or taste of food desired to be cooked in each inner container. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein the cooking parameters are temperature and time. 
     
     
         5 . A method of simultaneously cooking different style, recipe or taste of food, using a cooking system comprising a cooker having a double-walled cooking housing being defined by an exterior bottom surface, exterior side walls, an upper surface, an interior bottom surface, and interior side walls, wherein the interior bottom surface and the interior side walls define a single interior cavity of a predetermined volume, wherein there is a gap between the exterior side walls and the interior side walls, wherein the single interior cavity is configured to receive, at a user's choice, only one large inner container, a plurality of various in size inner containers, or a plurality of equal in size inner containers, a size of each of the equal in size inner container being inversely proportional to a number of equal in size inner containers received, such that the interior cavity is always substantially filled and used; wherein, when the only one large inner container is received in the interior cavity, the user can prepare a large volume of a single style, recipe, or taste of food, and, when the plurality of various in size inner containers or when the plurality of equal in size inner containers is used, a set of cooking parameters for each inner container is independently selectable, thus, permitting the automatic and simultaneous preparation of different style, recipe or taste of food in each of the inner containers, the method comprising in any order the steps of: placing food ingredients in each inner container according to a unique recipe followed in each inner container; and, selecting unique cooking parameters for each inner container according to the style, recipe or taste of food desired to be cooked in each inner container. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the cooking parameters are temperature and time.
