The steam barrier can be provided on the introduction side by a roller (18) mounted rotatably in the housing and arranged with radial play. Located in the steaming space (14) is a distributor tube (12) which, in the upper region, possesses an outflow orifice (16) for the steam which is supplied to the distributor tube (12) by way of a steam conduit (11) and which is generated in an evaporation chamber (5). This evaporation chamber (5) is equipped with bent heating bars (7), of which the legs (8) lie within a quantity of water introduced and the legs (9) lie outside this quantity of water. <IMAGE>
