Abstract (en)
Oven for cooking foods comprising a support structure (2), which at least partially delimits a cooking chamber (3) and is provided with a lower wall (4), and a steam generation device (5), which is mechanically associated with the support structure (2) and is placed in fluid communication with the cooking chamber (3) in order to introduce a steam flow at its interior.The steam generation device (5) is provided with a containment tank (6) for containing a liquid dose, and such containment tank (6) is provided with at least one maximum level height (7) and is placed at least partially below the lower wall (4), with heating means (8), which are at least partially housed in the containment tank (6) in order to generate the steam flow, and with supply means (10) for supplying liquid into the containment tank (6) in order to restore the liquid dose substantially to the maximum level height (7).In addition, the heating means (8) comprise at least one electrical heating element (9), which is extended within the containment tank (6) on a lying plane (α) parallel to the lower wall (4), the containment tank (6) has a capacity of 0.5 - 3.8 dm<sup>3</sup> for the liquid dose and the electric power density per unit of volume of containment tank (6), absorbed by the electrical heating element (9), is comprised between 1.1 kW/dm<sup>3</sup> and 2.5 kW/dm<sup>3</sup>. In addition, the containment tank (6) comprises an upper cover (13) provided with a through opening (14) placed above said maximum level height (7) and which places the interior of the containment tank (6) directly in fluid communication with the cooking chamber (3) of said support structure (2).
