Patent ID: 8647692

Claim:
A method for generating steam in steam-baking oven ( 2 ) for steam-baking food, said steam-baking oven ( 2 ) comprising a baking chamber ( 3 ) including at least one heating member ( 10 ) and at least one fan ( 4 ) to circulate air inside the baking chamber ( 3 ), said steambaking oven ( 2 ) being associated to a steam generator ( 5 ) and being connected to a water supply ( 6 ), a water injection pipe ( 8 ) being connected to said water supply and being arranged inside said baking chamber ( 3 ) to spray water against said heating member ( 10 ), said method comprising steps of: a first step, wherein said steam generator ( 5 ) is activated until said baking chamber ( 3 ) is substantially steam-saturated, and a second step wherein said steam generator ( 5 ) is switched-off and steam is generated by spraying water on said at least one heating member ( 10 ) through said water injection pipe, and then temporarily and periodically activating said steam generator during said second step when steam production produced by spraying water drops as a result of cooling down of said heating member, to keep steam quality substantially unchanged.
