A microwave oven has a fan for directing air into a cooking chamber, vent holes in the cooking chamber directly communicating with the exterior and having an outlet opening communicating with a compartment in which a humidity sensor for controlling the microwave energy is arranged. The outlet opening is centered substantially relative to the cooking region in which the food is placed. As a result only a defined part of the humid air flow from the food is conveyed to the humidity sensor.

A microwave oven is shown which has a defrosting mode the length of which is determined solely by the humidity in the air in the oven provided by moisture from a frozen article, particularly frozen food, being defrosted in the oven.
