The machine enables food to be automatically cooked in a liquid or to
complete its cooking. It comprises a vessel for the cooking liquid,
elements for heating the cooking liquid, and elements for maintaining the
liquid level in the cooking vessel substantially constant. The machine
also comprises a series of liquid-permeable seats, each arranged to
receive food to be cooked or whose cooking has to be completed, means for
moving the seats along a predetermined cyclic path, during a part of which
the food contained in the seats is immersed in the cooking for a time
sufficient to cook the food or to complete its cooking, a station in which
the food to be cooked or the food for completion of cooking can be fed
into each seat, and a station in which the cooked food can be extracted
from the relative seat.
