A convection oven has a chamber receptive of a rack across which heated air is circulated. At the downstream side of the air path through the chamber there is a steam generator having a heat accumulator comprising blocks of high thermal conductivity carried on a series of carriers arranged in a parallel superposed vertical stack. At the outset of a baking cycle, water is caused to flow downwardly within the vertical stack against the blocks to generate steam and water vapor which is circulated across the unheated product being baked to control the browning and crispiness of its outer surface. |
