A food cooking appliance has a cooking chamber (8) delimited by a plurality of walls (4-7) of a structure (2-3) of the appliance (1), among which a thermally conductive lower wall (7) defining a bottom surface (7a) of the cooking chamber (8), formed from nontoxic material, adapted to receive food to be cooked directly thereon. A first heating element (11) is arranged within the cooking chamber (8) and a second heating element (12) arranged under the cooking chamber (8) in thermal contact with the lower wall (7). The appliance (1) has a control system (9), comprising a first temperature sensor (10) for detecting the air temperature in the cooking chamber (8) and a second temperature sensor (13) to detect the temperature of the lower wall (7). The control system (9) is configured to control the contemporaneous operation of the first and second heating elements (11, 12) based on detections carried out through the first and second temperature sensor elements (10, 13), so to obtain heating of the food both by convection and by conduction, through heating of the air in the cooking chamber (8) by the first heating element (11) and through heating of the lower wall (7) by the second heating element (12), respectively. |
