A heating cooker includes heating chamber configured to house a food, through-hole formed in a wall surface of heating chamber, an imager configured to capture an image in heating chamber through through-hole, air blower configured to blow air on an outside of heating chamber, and wind guide configured to guide wind generated by air blower. Thus, wind guide is disposed so that the wind from air blower forms an air curtain passing through space between the imager and through-hole.

A cooking appliance includes a casing having a cavity and an electric chamber therein, and a door opening and closing the cavity. In addition, a tank housing storing a water tank therein is disposed in the electric chamber. The tank housing has a tank chamber open towards a tank entrance of a front housing. A front surface of the tank housing is in close contact with a rear surface of the front housing, and the tank chamber is connected to the tank entrance. When the tank housing and the front housing are in close contact with each other, leakage of water or inflow of foreign substances through a gap between the two components can be prevented.

A steam generator includes a boiler, a water supply pipe, a drainage pipe, and a steam supply pipe. The boiler has a first side wall, a second side wall, a bottom wall, a water inlet, a drain outlet, and a steam discharge port. The water supply pipe supplies water to the boiler. The drainage extends to a drainage pipe outlet below the drain outlet by way of a curved portion thereof having a shape projecting upward from the drain outlet. The steam supply pipe supplies steam to a cavity. The bottom wall has an inner bottom surface downwardly inclined from the first side wall toward the second side wall which faces the first side wall. The water inlet is in the first side wall near the inner bottom surface, and the drain outlet is in the second side wall near the inner bottom surface and lower than the water inlet.

A microwave oven accessory device is disclosed herein. The device may include an attachment-body that is configured to mount on the inside of a microwave oven. The attachment-body may include fasteners attached on the exterior of the body. The fasteners may embody hooks, suction cups, and all other conceived means of mounting the body to the inside of the microwave oven. The attachment-body may form a cavity that is configured to retain a reservoir. The reservoir may be configured to contain a liquid, such as water. The device may be disposed on the inside of the microwave when the microwave is in use. The device may provide a reservoir with water for evaporation by the microwave oven for increasing and retaining the moisture of the food being microwaved.

A cooking appliance includes a frame that defines a cooking chamber, a steam generator coupled to the frame and configured to generate steam, and a steam supply port that is connected to the steam generator, that extends through a sidewall of the frame to the cooking chamber, and that is configured to guide steam from the steam generator to the cooking chamber. The steam supply port includes a first pipe having a first diameter, a second pipe located inside of the cooking chamber, the second pipe having a second diameter that is less than the first diameter, and a connection pipe configured to connect the first pipe to the second pipe.

An apparatus comprises at least one cooking device (21-24), in particular a baking oven (22) or a steam-cooking appliance (21), for preparing at least one foodstuff. The apparatus further comprises an input device (3), an output device (4), and a central control unit (1). The central control unit (1) identifies a recipe based upon input parameters specifying the foodstuffs as well as further ingredients and generates a cooking process for the recipe. The recipe is output by means of the output device (4) and the cooking process is transmitted to a cooking process control (26) of the cooking device (21-24).

A microwave oven includes a cabinet that defines a cooking chamber and a steam generator within the cooking chamber. The steam generator includes a disk-shaped main body with a water storage volume internal to the main body. The steam generator also includes a connector in operative communication with a motor of the microwave oven. The motor is operable to rotate the disk-shaped main body during a cooking operation of the microwave oven. The steam generator also includes a plurality of vents positioned above the water storage volume. The vents direct steam from the water storage volume into the cooking chamber of the microwave oven appliance during the cooking operation of the microwave oven appliance.

A domestic microwave oven is provided having an oven cavity, a water reservoir, a piping system coupling the reservoir and the oven cavity, and a pump for pumping a predetermined amount of water into the oven cavity. The pump is a mono-directional positive displacement pump and the piping system includes a by-pass coupled in parallel to the pump and an on/off electro valve configured to allow a drainage of the piping system when the pump is idle.

An oven for heating and frying food, particularly a rapid cook oven, includes walls and an openable oven door delimiting an oven space and heaters to heat food in the oven space. Such heaters including: microwave radiation devices, a frying plate having an undersurface, and heat circulating-air devices comprising a flow duct for removing circulating air from the oven space and leading it back into the oven space after cleaning, and a fan installed in the flow duct for creating a circulating-air flow in the said flow duct. The oven additionally includes structure delimiting a cooker space, thermal insulation between the oven space and the cooker space and a heater comprising a cooker situated in the cooker space.

A heat cooking device comprises a casing, a heating chamber, and an exhaust duct having an outlet provided on a rear edge side of an upper surface of the casing such that exhaust air from an inside of the casing is blown out forward. An upper outer wall surface of a rear surface plate of the casing is covered by the exhaust duct to form an exhaust passage between the casing and the exhaust duct. A guidance part is provided inside the exhaust passage, and guides the water infiltrating into the exhaust passage through the outlet of the exhaust duct, downward inside the exhaust passage.
