A method of cooking food using a device for cooking the food in a container includes supplying water for cooking the food; generate heat by a heater of the device; and controlling by a controller an operation of the heater to initially supply the container with a first quantity of the water in a form of steam during a first period of time of a cooking process, and to subsequently supply the container with a second quantity of the water in a form of heated water during a second period of time of the cooking process. The second period of time is longer than the first period of time.

1. A method of cooking food using a device for cooking the food in a container, the method comprising acts of: supplying water, via a reservoir and a single flow path that includes a conduit, pump, and one-way valve to the container, for use in cooking the food;generating heat, via a heater, to heat
1. A method of cooking food using a device for cooking the food in a container, the method comprising acts of: supplying water, via a reservoir and a single flow path that includes a conduit, pump, and one-way valve to the container, for use in cooking the food;generating heat, via a heater, to heat the water supplied in the single flow path to the container; andcontrolling, via a controller, an operation of the pump and heater (i) to initially supply the container with a first quantity of the water of a total quantity of water needed for cooking the food in a form of steam, via the single flow path, during a first period of time to initiate a cooking process, and (ii) to subsequently supply the container with a second quantity of the water of the total quantity of water needed for cooking the food in a form of heated water, via the single flow path, during a second period of time immediately after the first period of time to complete the cooking process,wherein the second period of time is longer than the first period of time. 2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising an act of sealing the container, via a lid, to realize a build-up of pressure inside the container during the cooking process. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein controlling, via the controller, further comprises providing a transition from a supply of the steam to a supply of the heated water by decreasing a power level of the heater. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein controlling, via the controller, further comprises providing a transition from a supply of the steam to a supply of the heated water by increasing a mass flow rate at which the water supplied to the container is made to flow through an area of the flow path associated with the heater. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein controlling, via the controller, further comprises operating the heater at different power levels during the cooking process, wherein a first power level during the first period of time is higher than a subsequent power level during the second period of time. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein controlling, via the controller, further comprises controlling the pump to operate with different mass flow rates at which the water supplied to the container is made to flow through an area of the flow path associated with the heater, wherein a first mass flow rate of the first quantity of water is lower than a subsequent mass flow rate of the second quantity of water. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein controlling, via the controller, further comprises controlling (i) a first heating unit of the heater that includes a flow-through heater for heating the water that is supplied to the container, and (ii) a second heating unit of the heater that contacts the container for directly heating the container. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the heater comprises a thermo block that contacts the container for directly heating the container, and wherein controlling, via the controller, further comprises controlling an operation of the pump and thermo block to supply water from the reservoir and at least one of the steam and the heated water, via the single flow path, to the container. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the second quantity of water is larger than the first quantity of water. 10. The method according to claim 1, wherein supplying further comprises supplying a major portion of the total quantity of the water during the second period of time. 11. The method according to claim 1, wherein supplying further comprises supplying a major portion of the total quantity of the water when the cooking process is taking place after the first period of time.
