Abstract: An Autonomous apparatus for cooking food having a base body (14) with a main heating element (18), a lid (15) which can be associated with the base body (14) in at least two positions and inside which a secondary heating element (19) is installed and possible heat transfer and/or ventilation means (20), and a mixing device (28). The base body (14) supports and positions one of a removable container (11), said lid (15), and/or said container (11), in correspondence with a respective coupling edge, comprising at least an airtight packing (21) to define a cooking chamber (16) with a desired steam pressure. Said lid (15) has a single size with airtight packings (21) suitable to cooperate with different sizes of the container (11) and/or of one container (11) having different heights with respect to said base body (14).

Abstract: Autonomous apparatus for cooking food includes a support body with a first fixed container, the support body being associated with a lid, the first fixed container being configured to contain a second container that is selectively interchangeable between a second container of a first type and a second container of a second type. A heating resistance is located above the second container and associated with a rotor of a rotor body. The rotor body is configured to send a stream of air directly toward a bottom of the second container.
