<p>An apparatus (1) for cooking foodstuffs by means of steam comprises a boiling chamber (3) containing a liquid to be boiled and being operatively divided into a first space for containing the liquid to be boiled and a second space for forming the steam, located above the first space. The apparatus (1) comprises heating means (12) associated with the boiling chamber (3) for heating the liquid contained therein in order to generate the steam and a liquid reservoir (4) in fluid communication with the boiling chamber (3) to supply the liquid to the latter. The apparatus (1) also comprises a foodstuffs cooking container (5) in fluid communication with the second space of the boiling chamber (3) in order to receive the steam therefrom. The apparatus (1) further comprises a feed duct (19) extending between the reservoir (4) and the boiling chamber (3) at the first space of the boiling chamber (3) in such a way as to allow fluid communication from the reservoir (4) to the boiling chamber (3) according to the principle of communicating vessels.</p> |
