The device for generating steam within a cooking oven includes a heating element (1) and a water reservoir (2). The heating element is placed above the water (3) contained in the reservoir (11). Two sheet-metal members (4, 5) located in closely spaced relation so as to define a capillary space are placed in contact with the heating element (1) and immersed in the water (3) of the reservoir, one of the sheet-metal members being provided with at least one opening (7) placed in proximity to the heating element (1).

Steam-generating device and a cooking oven equipped with said device

Electric oven

A portable cooking appliance for the main purpose of cooking food in an oven or grilling food on a hotplate (4) includes a chamber (1) having an oven in which extends an electric resistance-heating element (14). There is placed at the top of the oven chamber (1) a cooking hotplate (4) beneath which extends an electric resistance-heating element (5). The element (5) is located within a compartment (6) which is separated from the oven chamber by a metal plate (7). The resistance-heating element (5) is connected to an adjustable thermostat (9) associated with a temperature probe (13). The electric resistance-heating element (14) is connected directly to the line supply by a switch (16) for interrupting the supply of current to the element (14) independently of the current supply to the resistance-heating element (5).
