Steam cooking apparatus

摘要

A steam cooking apparatus with a steam generator and several cooking planes in a common cooking chamber in which there are arranged a steam input opening connected to the steam generator and a steam outlet opening whereby a temperature measuring device is associated with the cooking chamber and is connected to a control device. For providing an energy-saving steam cooking apparatus for effectively controlling the temperature in the individual cooking planes there are associated with the cooking planes one or more steam input openings and/or one or more steam outlet openings and separate temperature measuring devices are arranged in at least two cooking planes. In a method of cooking a multi-component meal regardless of the cooking times of the individual components thereof this meal is cooked simultaneously without interruption in a cooking operation, whereby a uniform temperature distribution is selected and maintained in the cooking chamber for a meal of an identical cooking time of all components and a differing temperature distribution is selected and maintained in the cooking planes or cooking sections for a meal with differing cooking times for individual components.
