Multifunctional Cooking Apparatus

Abstract

A multifunctional cooking apparatus has a main body having a lower compartment with a chamber for receiving food products therein; and an upper compartment including a dispensing module for containing liquid to produce steam; a conductive receptacle for receiving liquid from the dispensing module for conversion into steam for steam cooking; a heating element for heating the conductive receptacle for boiling the received liquid to produce steam thereon; and a circulation system in communication with the lower compartment. The dispensing module includes a plurality of flavour enhancing liquid dispensers for controlled egress of the flavour enhancing liquid onto the conductive receptacle, such that the steam produced from the conductive receptacle is subsequently circulated through the circulation system into the chamber in the lower compartment.
