    Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a food steaming system includes an enclosed interior space defined by a first wall and a cooking volume within the interior space defined by a second wall radially inboard of the first wall forming an annulus between the first wall and the second wall. A steam generator is disposed proximate the cooking volume configured to inject a steam flow into the annulus prior to the steam flow entering the cooking volume. An air mover is operatively connected to move the steam flow upwards through the annulus from a lower portion of the interior space to an upper portion of the interior space, the air mover positioned downstream from the steam generator.

    Abstract: A steam cooking device which includes a pressure accumulating steam boiler and a steaming cabinet is disclosed. The pressure accumulating steam boiler heats liquid water and accumulates a steam having a pressure between 1.1 and 5.0 times atmospheric pressure. The steaming cabinet receives the steam from the pressure accumulating steam boiler to cook a foodstuff contained therein. To raise the temperature of a foodstuff accommodating chamber within the steaming cabinet from a room temperature to a cooking temperature, a WH1 amount of energy is consumed by an electricity-heat conversion unit in the pressure accumulating steam boiler. A foodstuff accommodating chamber within the steaming cabinet has a volume of V1. The steam cooking device satisfies V1/WH1>160. The cooking temperature is between 101° C. and 150° C. and is lower than or equal to the temperature of the steam when the steam is outputted from the pressure accumulating steam boiler.

    Abstract: A cooking device, in particular a steam oven, includes a cooking cavity and a heating unit. The heating unit has a first and a second heating element capable to operate at different temperatures, and at least one fan. The cooking device is configured in such a manner that the fan collects air from the cooking cavity and conveys a first airflow towards the first heating element and a second airflow towards the second heating element. The first airflow passing the first heating element creates a first airflow circuit in the cooking cavity, and the second airflow passing the second heating element creates a second airflow circuit in the cooking cavity. The two airflows can have different temperatures by individually controlling the power of the two heating element.
