1. A method of preparing a food mixture, comprising:
assembling a cover and a roaster bowl containing a food mixture, the roaster bowl having a bottom portion, an agitator mounted to the bottom portion, an upper edge, and a pouring lip extending from the upper edge, the cover having a top surface defining a boundary of a peripheral water reservoir disposed on a first side of the cover, and a side surface extending from the top surface, around an upper perimeter of the cover, to a bottom edge, wherein the bottom edge extends around a lower perimeter of the cover, and includes a rolled edge along a first portion of the lower perimeter, and a non-rolled edge along a second portion of the lower perimeter between opposite ends of the rolled edge,
wherein, in an assembled configuration of the cover and the roaster bowl, (i) the rolled edge of the cover provides a seal with the upper edge of the roaster bowl along the first portion of the lower perimeter of the cover, and (ii) the non-rolled edge of the cover, the opposite ends of the rolled edge of the cover, and the pouring lip of the roaster bowl together define a single steam vent on a second side of the cover opposite the first side, and coextensive with the non-rolled edge;
flowing liquid water, through at least one metering hole in the water reservoir, into the roaster bowl, to the food mixture while rotating the agitator, wherein the liquid water interacts with the food mixture to form a glaze on the food mixture, and wherein at least a portion of the liquid water is converted into steam; and
venting at least some of the steam through the single steam vent.
