A thermally insulated cooking pot consists of an outer pot and an inner pot. The inner pot is suspended within the outer pot by hanging from the top inner circumferential area of the outer pot with its own top outer circumferential area. The space between the inner and outer pots becomes an insulation cavity. The contact point between the two pots is sealed by a pliable packing ring with an L-shaped cross-section, thereby sealing the insulation cavity. This sealed insulation cavity provides excellent thermal insulation. The packing ring contains a plurality of protrusions on the surface that come into contact with the inner pot to prevent the packing ring from sticking to the inner pot. The gap formed between the packing ring protrusions and the inner pot prevents the inner pot from sticking to the packing ring.

A method of baking a dessert using steam in an automated household oven comprises a first heating step where a heating system preheats a cooking cavity to a first temperature at a first heating rate and a second heating step where the heating system preheats the cooking cavity from the first temperature to a second temperature at a second heating rate less than the first heating rate. The first temperature is preferably about the boiling point of water, and a steam system introduces steam into the cooking cavity to facilitate baking of the dessert after the cooking cavity reaches the first temperature. A convection fan of the heating system is active during the first and second heating steps to help circulate air and steam in the cooking cavity and becomes inactive later in the baking method.
