Abstract
Apparatus in the form of at least one cooking chamber, e.g. a cooker or an oven for building into a kitchen unit, with the cooking chamber being delimited by a generally rectangular muffle (20) having an open front face. Heater elements (41) are disposed inside the muffle and/or outside the muffle in a contiguous chamber, and a thermally insulating material (50) is moulded over the side walls of the muffle together with the contiguous chamber if present. The thermally insulating material constitutes the core of a frame for the apparatus and forms part of a structure which provides at least a portion of the outside walls of the apparatus. Moulding the insulating material directly over the cooking chamber facilitates manufacture and reduces heat losses through heat-conducting bridges.
