Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011117659A1] A domestic steam cooking appliance (100) comprises a reservoir (112) for water, a closed water boiler (118) for generating steam in an evaporation chamber having a volume much less than that of the reservoir (112), and an electric pump (116) for transferring water from the reservoir (112) to the boiler (118) on demand. The appliance (100) further comprises a steam supply means (122) connected at one end to an outlet of the water boiler (118) to receive steam and connected at the other end to a steam guide member (190). The steam guide member (190) acts to control the velocity of steam therethrough and to distribute the steam supply between a plurality of vents arranged to exhaust steam into one or more steam cooking chambers (128a-c). The flow path through the steam guide member (190) is arranged such that steam must substantially change the direction of flow at least once before being released out of the vents.
