An apparatus for cooking food products includes a first heating plate adapted to support the food products; a second heating plate adapted to face the food products during cooking; a first resistive heating element associated with the first heating plate and adapted to generate infrared radiation for heating the food products during the cooking; a second resistive heating element associated with the second heating plate and adapted to generate infrared radiation for heating the food products during the cooking, and at least one microwave generator configured to selectively generate microwave radiation for heating the food products during the cooking The first heating plate and/or the second heating plate is made of a material that is at least partially transparent to microwave radiation and not transparent to infrared radiation, so as to increase its temperature by infrared radiation absorption to provide heat to the food products by heat conduction.
Abstract:
An oven includes a cooking chamber for housing food to be cooked, a control unit, and a reservoir for containing washing detergent at room temperature. The washing detergent has an activation temperature. The oven also includes a liquid supply arrangement selectively activated by the control unit for supplying the washing detergent into the cooking chamber, and one liquid heating element for heating the washing detergent and to be selectively activated by the control unit. During a washing cycle, the control unit performs the following ordered operations: a) activate the one liquid heating element for a first time period sufficient to increase its temperature to the activation temperature; b) deactivate the liquid heating element; c) when the temperature of the liquid heating element is about the activation temperature, activate the liquid supply arrangement so that the washing detergent is heated by the liquid heating element while supplied into the cooking chamber.
