Abstract: A food cooking device includes a base housing defining an interior space and a heating element within the interior space. The heating element provides a source of heat for cooking food. A bowl is separate from the heating element and is positionable into the interior space with the heating element between the base housing and the bowl. The bowl may have a concave bottom wall defining an exterior surface and an interior surface, the interior surface defining a food space for receiving food for cooking. The bowl further has an upper rim defining an opening to the food space. A lid cooperates with the bowl to close the opening to the food space. A stirrer is positionable within the food space, the stirrer being rotatable within the food space about a substantially horizontal axis.
