METHOD OF ESTIMATING A HUMIDITY LEVEL IN A STEAM COOKING CHAMBER OF A STEAM COOKING APPLIANCE, METHOD OR OPERATING THE STEAM COOKING APPLIANCE AND STEAM COOKING APPLIANCE

摘要

The present application in particular is related to a method of estimating a humidity level in a steam cooking chamber (4) of a steam cooking appliance (1). The method comprises successively measuring static or guasi-static pressure values (&Rgr;1,...,&Rgr;n) prevailing within the steam cooking chamber (4); successively calculating from the pressure values (P1,...,Pn); and setting and using the humidity index value (&Egr;&EEgr;1, EHn) as an actual measure for the humidity level.
