Abstract
An oven comprises a chamber, a support for a foodstuff within the chamber, a high frequency electromagnetic wave heating device, a second heating device within the chamber for heating food by application of thermal energy, the second heating device being movably supported whereby it is translatable toward and away from the foodstuff, and a sensor for detecting a condition of the foodstuff during heating. The oven is responsive to the sensor for identifying the foodstuff, for controlling the position of the second heater within the chamber, and for controlling the periods of time during which the second heater is operative.
