A steam generating container A heated by a heat source includes: a water evaporation chamber into which water is supplied by a water supply device; a leading opening to lead steam from the water evaporation chamber, and ejection openings ejecting steam led through the leading opening into a heating chamber containing food. A buffer chamber connecting through the leading opening and with the ejection openings is provided between the water evaporation chamber and the heating chamber. Even when bumping water enters the buffer chamber through the leading opening, the bumping water having entered flows inside the buffer chamber. Thus, the bumping water is hardly ejected into the heating chamber through the ejection openings.

An electrical cooking appliance with automatic cleaning of a cooking chamber is provided. The appliance may include a steam supply device configured to generate steam and supply the steam to the cooking chamber; a water supply pump that supplies water from a water tank to the steam supply device; a water discharge pump that collects condensed water from the steam supply device into the water tank; and a controller configured to activate the water supply pump to supply water to the cooking chamber to clean the cooking chamber; and activate the steam supply device to supply steam to the cooking chamber to clean the cooking chamber.

A kitchen appliance is described. The kitchen appliance has a food preparation chamber including a fan, a heating element, and a humidifier; and a controller for implementing a program for roasting meat. The program includes a steaming stage to steam the meat during which the controller, for a first period of time, controls the humidifier, the fan, and the heating element to generate a first wind speed within the food preparation chamber and keep a temperature within the food preparation chamber between 60-70° C.; a drying stage to dry the steamed meat after said steaming stage during which the controller controls the fan and the heating element for a second period of time to increase a wind speed and reduce a humidity; and a roasting stage to roast the dried meat during which the controller controls the heating element for a third period of time to keep the temperature between 140-160° C.

An oven includes a water fill assembly including a holder having a receiver fixed therewith and a drawer body defining a water-receiving cavity, an opening to the water-receiving cavity, and a fill outlet from the water-receiving cavity. The drawer body defines a fluid flow path in from the opening and out through the fill outlet and includes a blocking element fixed with the drawer body. The drawer body is slideable with respect to the holder between an opened position, wherein the opening to the cavity is exposed to an environment surrounding the oven and the blocking element is spaced from the receiver, and a closed positon, wherein the drawer body is retracted into the holder and the blocking element to engage with the receiver to close the fluid flow path between the opening of the drawer body and a conduit to a water reservoir.

A cooking appliance is provided that includes a cooktop and a double oven. A first oven may be a standard radiant or convection oven. A second oven comprises a combined toaster-oven and air fryer. The combined toaster-oven and air fryer can include a heat source that is the same as or different from the heat source of the first oven. The heat source of the second oven can include a plurality of graphite bake heating elements and a plurality of graphite broil elements. The second oven includes a fan disposed configured to provide targeted air flow directly onto a food load that is placed inside said second oven.

A cooking appliance includes a main body defining a cooking chamber, a food-treatment material chamber open to outside the main body at an opening of the main body, and an outer surface having a stepped portion at the opening, a food-treatment container accommodated in the food-treatment material chamber and accessible from outside of the food-treatment material chamber, via the opening, a food-treatment material supplier supplying a food-treatment material from the food-treatment material chamber to the cooking chamber, a door coupled to main body and opening and closing the food-treatment material chamber, at the opening, and a door adjuster connected to the door, extended along the outer surface of the main body at the opening, and adjusting a planar position of the door at the opening to compensate the stepped portion of the outer surface of the main body.

A steam stove contains: a body, a steaming module, two flowing conduits, and two heating modules. The body includes a steam room defined therein and being opened or closed, a water tank formed on a bottom of the steam room and accommodating the steaming module, two vertical partitions vertically arranged on two sides of the steam room of the body so as to produce the two flowing conduits, and a bottom and a top of each of the two flowing conduits are in communication with the water tank and the steam room. Each of the two heating modules is fixed in each of the two flowing conduits and is not shielded by the water tank, and a horizontal partition is defined among two bottoms of the two vertical partitions and the body so as to shield the water tank.

A steam oven for an aircraft galley. The steam oven includes a pipeline for supplying fluid comprising water or steam to a food preparation chamber of the steam oven. The pipeline is configured to receive water or steam from a source external to the steam oven and a valve configured to regulate the flow of said fluid through the pipeline. The valve has an open state in which the valve permits the flow of fluid through the pipeline and a closed state in which the valve prevents the flow of fluid through the pipeline. The oven also has control unit configured to actuate the valve between the open and closed states. The valve includes a sensor configured to detect an actual state of the valve 9, the sensor being independent of the control unit.

An aerospace galley insert includes an oven defining therein an oven inner cavity for receiving food to be prepared and a fluid supply for supplying fluid comprising water or water vapour to the oven inner cavity. The galley also includes an exterior space, a heat pipe extending between the cavity and the exterior space, a first temperature sensor for detecting a first temperature in the cavity, a second temperature sensor for detecting a second temperature in the exterior space, and a third temperature sensor for detecting a third temperature of the heat pipe where it extends into the exterior space. The system also includes a control unit configured to determine an actual water vapour concentration in the oven inner cavity based on the first, second and third temperatures, and configured to control the fluid supply in order to adjust the actual water vapour concentration to a target water vapour concentration.
