Abstract
A commercial oven, such as a combination oven providing steam and convection heating, may provide for motorized dampers allowing the oven to move automatically between a closed-state high humidity operating mode and an open-state low humidity operating mode according to user input reflecting a desired cooking process. The dampers operate with a conventional steam trap and may provide integrated bypass valves preventing over or under pressure of the cooking volume.
