Abstract
Meat such as poultry may be rapidly cooked in a closed and sealed pressure vessel subjected to a mixture of superheated steam and superatmospheric compressed air at a temperature of least 400.degree. F. and at an internal chamber pressure of at least 15 psig fed from an air compressor through a heat exchanger. Water is mixed with the heated superatmospheric compressed air such that a mixture of superheated steam and superatmospheric compressed air is created prior to mixture entry into the interior of the pressure vessel. Preferably, meat is cooked rapidly at a temperature within the chamber in the range of 400.degree. F. to 600.degree. F. and at pressures ranging from 15 to 150 psig. A pressure relief valve coupled to the pressure vessel exhausts the mixture of superheated steam and superatmospheric compressed air to maintain the desired gas pressurization within the chamber.
