OVEN WITH SPLIT AIR RECIRCULATION VENTS

摘要

The oven of the present disclosure includes a cooking chamber within an enclosure. The cooking chamber has a support for holding a food product, a first heating element on a top side of the support, and a second heating element on a bottom of the support. A blower moves air from an intake chamber, over the first heating element, and through a perforated plate, where it contacts and heats the food product on the support. Air is returned from the cooking chamber to the intake chamber through a plurality of separate and distinct vents in a rear wall of the cooking chamber. The first heating element, the second element, and the blower can each be controlled independently of one another. The disclosure also provides a method of operating the oven.
