A high speed, spill-proof cooking container is provided with a novel design allowing for faster cooking speeds for multiple food varieties as well as spill-proof features. The cooking container comprises a container body having an opening defined by a rim and a lid. Inside the container body spaced from the rim is a first ledge which divides the container body into an upper segment, and a lower segment which holds the contents to be cooked. The upper segment further contains a second ledge disposed inside the container body between the first ledge and the rim. In the most preferred embodiment, the second ledge is parallel to the first ledge. The lid is sized to pass through the opening and rest on the first ledge such that when the lid rests on the first ledge. The lid is spaced from the opening defined by the rim to separate the lower segment of the container body from the upper segment of the container body. The lid contains at least one vent and, preferably two vents on the parameter thereof forming a passage in the cooking container between the lower segment of the container body and the upper segment of the container body for steam and cooking contents to pass through. A steam trap is defined by the space between the first ledge and the second ledge for trapping the steam escaping from the lower segment through the vents and collecting to flow back into the lower segment of the container. A pot reservoir is defined by the space between the second ledge and the rim for trapping the steam and contents after it escapes from the lower segment thereby preventing spillage or boiling over. The food cooked in the present container cooks faster than conventional pots yet retains its flavor and does not saturate or break down during the cooking process keeping its original consistency. Also, multiple food types (e.g., chicken and fish) can be cooked at the same time in the container of the invention without the food co-mingling flavors.
