Abstract
An oven with a humidity conditioner is capable of cooking food by appropriately humidifying or dehumidifying it while the amount of steam contained in an oven cavity is being regulated. The oven includes a heater or magnetron for heating the food accommodated in the oven cavity, a humidity regulator for regulating the humidity inside the oven cavity, a cooking method selector for selecting a cooking method, and a controller for controlling the humidity regulator in response to a signal from the cooking method selector to selectively humidify and dehumidify the interior of the oven cavity.
