A steam generating system in an oven (2) that comprises an external housing (4) which encloses an oven chamber (6), a hot air channel (8) where hot air (10) is about to flow and a hot air inlet in the form of a series of openings in the wall of the oven chamber (6) through which hot air is blown into the oven chamber(6), an exhaust outlet via which hot air is removed from the oven chamber (6) and a door. The steam generating system comprises a control unit (12) adapted to control a baking or cooking procedure by generating control signals (14), and an elongated steam generating module (16) horizontally arranged in said hot air channel (8), said steam generating module (16) being rotatable along a longitudinal axis (18) and comprising a predetermined number of steam module elements (20), wherein each steam module element (20) is elongated and comprises one main surface (22) provided with a generally flat extension, the steam generating elements (20) are arranged in parallel above each other at a predetermined distance from each other. The system further comprises at least one water supplying member (23) arranged in connection to said steam generating module(s) and configured to supply water to said module(s). The steam generating module (16) is adapted to be in two states: -a steam generating state, during at least a part of said state water is supplied to said module, and during said state the main surfaces (22) of the elements (20) are in an essentially horizontal position, allowing water to evaporate, -a hot air state where the main surfaces (22) of the elements (20) are in an essentially vertical position, allowing hot air to pass the module (16). |
