Abstract: A food preparation apparatus (2) is provided. The food preparation apparatus comprises: a first food processing unit (10) configured to process a food item to produce a plurality of solid food particles and juice; and a second food processing unit (40) arranged to receive the solid food particles and juice from the first food processing unit and process the juice and solid food particles to produce a substantially homogenous food product, wherein the first food processing unit (10) is adjustable in order to selectively vary the proportion of the produced solid food particles that pass from the first food processing unit into the second food processing unit (40).

Abstract: Provided is a cooking apparatus (10). The cooking apparatus comprises a food chamber (12), and a steam supply (16, 20, 23) for supplying steam to the food chamber. A control arrangement (22, 28) controls the steam supply to maintain a steam concentration in air inside the food chamber which is below saturation. Further provided is a method of cooking.

Abstract: A cooking apparatus is for cooking using steam. A circulation system comprising an extraction vent in a rear wall of the cooking chamber. A delivery vent arrangement for delivering air to the food chamber has a vent at a top region of a rear wall area, and optionally also vents at side wall areas. The rear wall delivery vent may have a set of flow guiding fins. In combination, these features ensure a flow of how air/steam over the entire surface of the underside of the lid.

Abstract: A cooking apparatus is for cooking using steam, but which makes use of heated steam above 100 degrees Celsius. This heated steam is circulated around the food chamber.
