A heatable housing and a device such as a cooking appliance including a heatable housing for producing steam includes at least one wall that delimits an interior space, which is enclosed by the housing at least in areas and which serves to hold a liquid to be vaporized. The wall has at least one hollow for accommodating at least one heating device.

Device for producing steam and cooking appliance

In a method for improved fresh air supply in a cooking apparatus, an inner housing is provided to circumscribe a cooking chamber. A fan chamber is separated from the cooking chamber via at least one flow guide element. The fan chamber has a fan with a fan wheel which comprises primary blades on its side facing the first flow guide element and auxiliary blades on its side facing the wall of the inner housing through which the axle of the fan wheel passes to connect with a motor arranged outside of the inner housing. The fan wheel is provided for the circulation of cooking atmosphere and/or suction of fresh air into the inner housing via a fresh air channel, a mouth of which is separated from the axle of the fan wheel and runs into the inner housing through the wall. Fresh air sucked in through the fresh air channel is initially conducted via at least a second flow guide element which prevents a direct impingement of the fresh air on the auxiliary blades and prevents an angular momentum effect by the auxiliary blades from being imparted on the fresh air. The fresh air then is conducted from the axle of the fan wheel into the cooking chamber via the radial guiding or conveying effect of the auxiliary blades.

Method and cooking apparatus for improved fresh air supply

The disclosure relates to a fan impeller including a base plate and a plurality of fan impeller blades fixed to the plate. The fan impeller blades are positioned in an essentially vertical manner on the base plate and have a substantially radial arrangement, each fan impeller blade including a front edge facing radially outwardly that is substantially perpendicular to the base plate, a rear edge facing radially inwardly that is substantially perpendicular to the base plate, an exterior surface located on the delivery side of the fan impeller and an interior surface located on the intake side of the fan impeller. At least one raised element is mounted and/or configured on the exterior surface of at least one selection of the fan impeller blades, the element being positioned at a distance from the base plate and extending substantially in a diagonal manner away from the base plate from the front edge to the rear edge of the fan impeller blades. The disclosure also relates to a fan impeller in a cooking device and to a cooking device including at least one inventive fan impeller.

Fan impeller with integrated grease separation, especially for cooking appliance

A method and steam generator includes a steam generator container having a heated wall surface, an inlet for a liquid and an outlet for removing the vaporized liquid or steam, a rotor, which is mounted for rotation in the container and causes a rotational flow of the liquid outwardly against the heated wall to cause vaporization. During rotation of the rotor, outer edges of the blades of the rotor contact the wall surface to either abrade or wipe deposits, such as lime, from the wall surface.

Method and apparatus for generating steam for a cooking device

In a method of controlling a cooking process, at least two temperature values are picked up by a cooking process sensor which is adapted to be stuck at least partly into food to be cooked. Specific parameters of cooking food and/or cooking utensils are determined via the thermo kinetics of the temperature values registered, and the specific cooking food and/or cooking utensil parameters determined are utilized for controlling the cooking process. The invention likewise relates to a cooking process sensor for use with the method according to the invention.

Method of controlling a cooking process and a cooking process sensor for use with the method

A method and apparatus for homogenizing the energy being supplied to products being cooked. The product is cooked in a cooking chamber of the apparatus on at least one receptacle or container, such as a baking tray or grill. The cooking chamber atmosphere is conducted over the container essentially along a plurality of flow paths which extend essentially parallel in relation to one another and the direction of the flow paths is periodically reversed so as to obtain a uniform heating of the products being cooked.

Method and device for homogenizing the energy supply to products to be cooked

In an apparatus and a method for cleaning the inside of a cooking device having a cooking chamber and a blower chamber separated from the cooking chamber via air baffles, an impeller is arranged in the blower chamber for generating a conveying stream in the cooking chamber as well as in the blower chamber, whereby at least one spray nozzle for spraying at least one fluid, such as a cleaning agent, rinse agent, clear rinse agent, decalcification agent, water and/or the like, faces toward the impeller, whereby the spray jet of the at least one spray nozzle in the blower chamber is directed opposite the conveying stream of the impeller.

Apparatus and method for cleaning the interior of a cooking device

A method for cooking in a cooking device which has a cooking chamber and a measuring device to detect variables pertaining to a given state of food which is being cooked. The variables vary according to the cooking process. The cooking process is carried out according to at least one measured value corresponding to a cooking state variable. The cooking process is also carried out according to one of several values corresponding to a derivative of a cooking state variable obtained as a function of a duration of the cooking process.

Cooking device and a method for individually guiding a cooking process

The invention relates to a cooking device with a cooking chamber, a heating device, a circulating system, an energy storage and extraction system and a measuring and regulating system connected to the heating device, the circulating system and the energy storage and extraction system.

Cooking device with energy storage and extraction system

A cooker comprising a cooking chamber and a means for introducing water into the cooking chamber in liquid or in steam form is disclosed, whereby the cooker is characterized in that it comprises a means for eliminating moisture from the cooking chamber, comprises at least one moisture sensor in the cooking chamber and comprises a control means that registers the output signals of the moisture sensor as first control parameter and compares them to a rated value and, according to the result of the comparison, drives the means for introducing water into the cooking chamber or the means for eliminating moisture from the cooking chamber.
