A stackable unit includes at least one cell for carrying a foodstuff during cooking. The cell includes a pressing structure for causing pressing of a foodstuff contained in a corresponding cell of a second identical stackable unit of a lower rank, the stackable unit including a support structure for seating the stackable unit on the second identical stackable unit and a centering structure for laterally positioning the stackable unit during stacking thereof on the second identical stackable unit such that the stackable unit can be disposed vertically in line with the second stackable unit. During stacking, a guidance structure guides the stackable unit onto the second identical stackable unit in at least one plane containing the vertical stacking direction.

The stackable unit of claim 7, wherein the centering elements include bends on a gripping structure of said unit. 9. The stackable unit of claim 8, wherein the centering elements include pins which said unit includes. 10. The stackable unit of claim 8, wherein said walls are formed in feet of said unit. 11. The stackable unit of claim 7, wherein the unit includes feet and wherein the centering elements include bends which said feet of said unit include. 12. The stackable unit of claim 7, wherein the unit includes a gripping structure and wherein the centering structure includes at least two walls of said gripping structure which said unit includes. 13. The stackable unit of claim 1, wherein the unit includes a frame including feet and wherein the centering structure includes beveled walls respectively located on the faces turned towards said frame and which are intended to cooperate respectively with the upper edges of the sides of the frame of the second stackable unit. 14. The stackable unit of claim 1, wherein the unit includes a frame including a gripping structure and wherein the centering structure includes beveled walls respectively located on the faces turned towards said frame and arranged to cooperate respectively with the lower edges of the sides of the frame of another stackable unit of higher rank. 15. The stackable unit of claim 1, wherein said pillar has a cross-shaped cross-section. 16. The stackable unit of claim 1, wherein said pillar has a U-shaped section. 17. The stackable unit of claim 1, wherein said stackable unit comprises a frame including a positioning hole and wherein said pillar comprises a centering stud arranged to enter without play into said positioning hole. 18. The stackable unit of claim 1, wherein the unit comprises a gripping structure including arms and feet, each of the arms and each foot respectively including folded metal strips welded to opposite sides of a frame. 19. The stackable unit of claim 18, wherein the each foot comprises a first post and a second post joined by a reinforcing bar welded by its ends to said posts. 20. The stackable unit of claim 18, wherein said metal strips included on said arms and said foot are fixed on edges on the frame. 21. The stackable unit of claim 1 wherein the unit includes a frame with sides having openings for enabling passage of a sensor into the cells. 22. The stackable unit of claim 1, further including projections extending towards the outside of the stackable unit, the projections enabling the unit to house sealed ends of some cooking bags. 23. The stackable unit of claim 1, wherein the guiding structure includes feet having posts that are not parallel to each other. 24. The stackable unit of claim 1, wherein the guiding structure includes feet having posts, the distance separating a first post of the posts from a second post of the posts being greater than the width of the pressing structure. 25. A stackable unit comprising at least one cell for carrying a foodstuff during cooking, said at least one cell including a pressing structure for causing pressing of a foodstuff contained in a corresponding cell of a second identical stackable unit of a lower rank, the stackable unit including a support structure for seating the stackable unit on the second identical stackable unit, a centering structure for laterally positioning the stackable unit during stacking thereof on the second identical stackable unit in such a way that the stackable unit can be disposed vertically in line with said second stackable unit, and a guidance structure for guiding, after the lateral positioning and during stacking of said stackable unit on the second identical stackable unit, the stackable unit in at least one plane containing the vertical stacking direction, said guidance structure including at least one wall having a foot, said at least one wall extending in a direction parallel to the stacking direction and being arranged for cooperating with at least one guidance element of said unit, the guidance structures including the rear faces of each foot, each of said rear faces being arranged for cooperating respectively with plates of another stackable unit of lower rank. 26.
