Abstract
Food preparation apparatus involves a heat transmitting zone and a heat source located remotely from the transmitting zone. Heat energy is transferred from the heat source to the transmitting zone by a fluid vapor which travels from the heat source to the transmitting zone, condenses upon the transmitting zone and then returns in a liquid state to the heat source. In one described embodiment of this invention, an oven is provided wherein a fluid enclosure within the oven walls confines the vapor which transfers heat energy from a central heat source to heat transmitting surfaces.
