COOKING OVEN COMPRISING STEAM GENERATING SYSTEM

摘要

To enable steam cooking in a wide range of steam modes and to improve the efficiency and safety thereof, the present invention provides a cooking oven comprising a cooking chamber, heating elements adapted for heating food in said cooking chamber, a steam generating system adapted to operate at essentially atmospheric pressure operably connected to said cooking chamber, said steam generating system comprising a steam generator comprising at least one a water container and induction heating means; wherein a water container wall comprises a heating part of a ferromagnetic ma- terial of a preselected Curie temperature that is heated by means of electromagnetic induction. The steam generating system of the cooking oven may comprise a plurality of water containers, wherein any one of the plurality of water containers comprises a ferromagnetic heating part of a ferromagnetic material of a different preselected Curie temperature. The invention also relates to a steam generating system.
