Abstract
A cooking device muffle for a cooking device includes: a cooking chamber having a cooking chamber opening tightly closable by a door of the cooking device, and at least one cooking chamber wall for delimiting the cooking chamber. The cooking device muffle is suitable for explosion testing. A pressure compensation opening is arranged in one cooking chamber wall of the at least one cooking chamber wall to dissipate an explosion pressure generated during an explosion test, the pressure compensation opening being tightly closed by a purely mechanical closing device of the cooking device muffle in a normal state of the cooking device muffle, in which a cooking chamber pressure lower than the explosion pressure prevails in the cooking device muffle. The closing device automatically opens the pressure compensation opening at a cooking chamber pressure greater than or equal to the explosion pressure and automatically tightly closes the pressure compensation opening.
