Abstract
A cooking device has a cooking chamber, a ventilation device in the form of a ventilating fan wheel or the like and a heating device plus a catalyst. Air from the cooking chamber, including greasy vapors, odor particles, and/or hydrocarbons, can be directed in a finely-atomized form onto the catalyst by the ventilation device. The catalyst purifies the air directed thereon and releases energy in the form of heat during purification, which heat can be distributed inside the cooking chamber by the ventilation device.
