A programmable apparatus and method for controlling the time and temperature of a cooking or baking cycle. The apparatus comprises; a cooking or baking appliance, such as a conventional stove, broiler, conventional oven, convection oven, microwave oven or barbeque; a data storage and processing device such as a microprocessor or computer; a program stored in the microprocessor or computer for processing a code to control the time and temperature of the cooking or baking cycle; a device for entering the code into the microprocessor or computer; and a code which is provided by a party other than a user of the apparatus. In a first aspect of the invention, the code is a bar code on a food package and the device for entering the bar code is a scanner which is in the interior of the programmable apparatus. In another aspect of the invention, the code is entered at a remote location, such as an internet site, transmitter or a telephone apparatus.

The method of claim 11, wherein step d) creates a resistance weld between the flange of the plate and the tube. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein step d) also creates a resistance weld between the plate and the rim of the tube. 14. The method of claim 3, wherein step d) creates a resistance weld between the flange of the plate and the tube. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein step d) also creates a resistance weld between the plate and the rim of the tube. 16. The method of claim 3, wherein step d) creates a resistance weld between the flange of the plate and the tube. 17. A method for metallurgically attaching together a first member and a second member comprising the steps of: a) creating a through hole in the first member so as to produce an annular flange surrounding the through hole, wherein the through hole has a longitudinal axis, first and second longitudinal ends, and substantially matches a first portion of the second member, and wherein the flange projects longitudinally away from the first member; b) creating an annular rim in the second member proximate the first portion, wherein the rim projects transversely away from the first portion; c) after steps a) and b), at least partially disposing the second member in the through hole of the first member with the flange of the first member longitudinally projecting away from the rim of the second member; and d) after step c), resistance welding together the first and second members so as to create a weld, wherein after the weld is created, the rim of the second member is seated on the first member at the first longitudinal end of the through hole. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the first member is a plate, wherein the through hole is a substantially circular through hole, wherein the second member is a tube, and wherein the first portion of the tube has a substantially circular outside diameter. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein step d) creates a resistance weld between the flange of the plate and the tube. 20. The method of claim 18, wherein step d) creates a resistance weld between the plate and the rim of the tube. 21. A method for metallurgically attaching together an inlet/outlet tube to a vehicle fuel tank cover comprising the steps of: a) obtaining a vehicle fuel tank cover including a through hole having a longitudinal axis and first and second longitudinal ends and including a longitudinally-projecting flange surrounding the through hole; b) obtaining an inlet/outlet tube including a transversely-projecting annular rim; c) after steps a) and b), at least partially disposing the inlet/outlet tube in the through hole of the vehicle fuel tank cover with the flange of the vehicle fuel tank cover longitudinally projecting away from the rim of the inlet/outlet tube; and d) after step c), resistance welding together the vehicle fuel tank cover and the inlet/outlet tube so as to create a weld, wherein after the weld is created, the rim of the inlet/outlet tube is seated on the vehicle fuel tank cover at the first longitudinal end of the through hole, and wherein the inlet/outlet tube longitudinally extends beyond the second longitudinal end of the through hole.
