A cooking apparatus includes a container, a spigot, a lid, and a food support. The container has a bottom surface and a side wall that extends upwardly from the bottom surface to a top edge of the side wall. The spigot is attached to the container side wall and has a valve member that is selectively positionable between opened and closed positions. The spigot valve member allows liquid contents of the container to drain from the container when in the opened position, and prevents the contents from draining out of the container when in the closed position. The food support is comprised of a perforated horizontal member with a perforated side wall extending upwardly from the horizontal member. A plurality of vertical members spaced around the periphery of the horizontal member extend upwardly from the horizontal member. The food support is dimensioned to fit within the interior of the container and some of the vertical members have top ends with integral support connectors that are adapted to engage with the side wall top edge to suspend the food support in a spaced relation from the container bottom surface.

1. A cooking apparatus comprising:a container having a bottom surface and a side wall, the side wall extending upwardly from the bottom surface to a top edge of the side wall, the bottom surface and the side wall defining an interior volume of the container; at least one manual handle attached to the container side wall, the handle being adapted for manually carrying the container by the handle; a spigot attached to the container and communicating with the container interior, the spigot having a spout and a valve member, the valve member being selectively positionable between an opened position and a closed position relative to the spigot where in the opened position a flow path from the container interior volume through the spigot and spout is opened and in the closed position the flow path is closed; and a stop is positioned on the spigot where the stop will engage with the valve member as the valve member is moved away from the closed position and toward the opened position and thereby prevent further movement of the valve member away from the closed position.
