  • the user prepares the food item as desired and places the food item and a corresponding food support, such as a cooking tray, if used, into the cavity 14 step 72.
  • the method is characterized as having a dry preheating step 74 followed by a first cooking step 76 and a second cooking step 78.
  • the first and second cooking steps form part of the total cooking period 80. Although it can be understood that some cooking occurs during the dry preheating step 74.
  • the steps are defined by the operations of the heating system 35, the microwave system 46 and the steam system 50, as will be described in more detail below.
  • Steps of the method 70 are shown in the corresponding graph FIG. 5.
  • Fig. 5 is not intended to report actual behavior of the temperature and the relative humidity during the method 70; rather, Fig. 5 represents a general behavior of these properties. It will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the oven art that, in reality, the actual temperature and the actual relative humidity fluctuate about a target temperature and a target relative humidity during the operation of an oven.
  • the heating system 35 heats the cavity 14 to a first temperature at a first heating rate r 1 , and the steam system 50 is off or not activated so that the cavity 14 is relatively dry.
  • the first temperature is the boiling point of water or 100 C.
  • the temperature of the cavity 14 is raised to at least the boiling point of water so that steam can be introduced into the cavity 14 during the subsequent steps.
  • the first heating rate is relatively fast so that the cavity 14 reaches the first temperature in a relatively short period of time.
  • a fast heating rate can correspond to operating the heating system 35 at substantially maximum capacity.
  • the heating system 35 continues to heat the cavity 14 to a second temperature at a second heating rate r 2 , which occurs during the first cooking period.
  • the second temperature is a cooking temperature, which can be entered manually by the user through the user interface 28 or set by the controller 30 according to an automatic cooking cycle. The cooking temperature is selected or set, at least in part, based on the desired doneness of the food. Additionally, while the second heating rate can have any suitable value, the second heating rate is preferably less than the first heating rate.
  • the conventional heating system 35 maintains the temperature of the cavity 14 at the cooking temperature for the rest of the cooking cycle.
  • the steam system 50 is operated to raise humidity of the oven cavity 14 but the microwave system 46 is not energized.
  • the duration of the first cooking step 76 is established from input by a user through the control panel 28.
  • the user inputs or selects the food type (FOOD TYPE) and at least one other parameter which corresponds to the food size or weight.
  • the food size can be input directly by weight or through a scaled system such as selecting between "small", “medium” or "large”.
  • the food size can be inferred by the controller 30 from the user directly inputting the duration of the overall cooking period 80 depending on the food type that is being cooked.
  • the weight or size of the food item can be sensed through any known method for use in establishing the correct duration of the cooking steps.

  • the duration of the first cooking step 76 is equal to a fraction or percentage (%) of the overall cooking period.
  • the fraction or percentage of the overall cooking period 80 is controlled according to an automatic program or pre-established lookup table which forms part of the controller 30.
  • the steam system 50 begins to introduce steam into the cavity during the first cooking step 76.
  • the boiler 52 can begin to preheat the water in the steam system 50 prior to the first cooking step 76 so that the steam can be introduced into the cavity 14 at the beginning of the first cooking step 76, if desired.
  • Introducing steam into the cavity 14 as soon as possible during the first cooking step 74 helps to ensure that the steam is present early in the cooking cycle for facilitating the cooking process.
  • the first cooking step 76 ensures that the food is not exposed to dry, high temperature environment, which can cause the food to dry out. Thus, the benefits of cooking with steam can be fully realized when the steam is introduced fairly quickly.
  • the temperature of the cavity 14 is high enough to sustain steam in a vaporized state.
  • the vapor will not condense in the cavity 14 and form water droplets on the walls 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, or other items in the cavity 14.
  • microwave heating system 46 remains de-energized during the first cooking step 76. This is to ensure that during the initial introduction of steam, the surface temperature of the food does rise to quickly or become to hot. The inventors have discovered that if the surface temperature of the food becomes to hot during this phase, the beneficial effects of the steam, noted above, are not achieved. The beneficial effects of a higher humidity environment are greatly enhanced when the food item is allowed to heat more slowly and when the surface temperature of the food item remain at or below the ambient temperature of the cooking cavity 14.
  • the second cooking step 78 provides an opportunity for the food item to complete cooking.
  • the duration of this period is the remainder or difference between the overall cooking period 80 and the first cooking period 76.
  • the microwave system 46 may be energized to accelerate the cooking process. Additionally, there can optionally be an operation of the steam system 50 for a limited period of time at the start of the second cooking period, and extra steam operation 82.
  • the microwave system 46 may be de-energized near the end portion of the second cooking step to allow the food item being cooked to brown or crisp if desired.
  • the cooking cycle is started, either before or after food is loaded into the cavity 14, by the user inputting a food type (FOOD TYPE) selection and either a food size (FOOD WEIGHT/SIZE) or cooking duration value, as shown in step 81 and described above.
  • the heating system 35 heats the oven cavity 14 and food items placed within the oven cavity 14.
  • the microwave system 46 may be used during the dry preheat step 74, as shown in step 84. This occurs normally when cooking frozen items. It is also possible to include a microwave operation only step prior to the dry preheating step 74 dedicated to defrosting frozen food.
  • the dry pre-heat step 74 is completed.
  • the microwave system 46 was energized, it is then de-energized, step 88.
  • Steps 82, 84 and 86 form the dry pre-heat step 74.
  • the steam system 50 is energized, step 90.
  • the duration (T 1 ) of the first cooking step 76 is determined as described above, and is equal to a fraction or percentage (%) of the overall cooking period 80.
  • the oven operates in the second cooking step 78 for the remainder of the overall cooking period 80.
  • steam continues to be injected into the oven cavity 14 for a period of time where the steam injection rate is changed to second steam rate (SR 2 ) which is less than SR 1 , shown at step 94.
  • This period of reduced steam input is shown in steps 96 and 98.
  • the microwave system 46 may be operated at a first duty cycle level (MW DC2 ).
  • the steam system 50 is de-energized, shown at step 98, and the second cooking step is completed.
  • the oven controller 30 may de-energize the microwave system 46, as shown in step 100 and 102 such the final portion of the second cooking step is operated with just the heating system 35 to achieve good food browning, as shown at steps 104-106.
  • the heating elements 45 are energized to raise the oven cavity 14 to the desired temperature set point (TEMP SETPOINT ) ⁇
  • the heating elements 45 may be energized in any particular combination in response to the temperature sensor 64. This operation of the heating elements 45 occurs as a parallel operation, shown as step 108, during the first, second and third cooking periods.
  • the steam injection scheme defined above improves the food quality due to the use of different steam rates.
  • a higher level of relative humidity decreases the evaporation rate of the food being cooked, preserving the tenderness and the juiciness (meat, poultry) until the surface temperature reaches about 212°F (100°C) when a crust begins to form itself although normally 212 F (100°C) is not reached during the first cooking period.
  • the steam rate is lowered and the surface of the food can continue to crisp while the food item cooks.
  • the internal food temperature is allowed to increase giving a more homogeneous cooking.
  • microwave energy contribution is also optimized in the present invention.
  • microwave energy Prior to the first cooking period, before the oven cavity reaches 100°C of the temperature cavity, microwave energy can be injected into the oven cavity to accelerate the initial heating. This microwave heating may not be activated for some food categories.
  • microwave energy is not injected into the oven cavity as discussed above.
  • the microwave element In the second cooking step, the microwave element is energized at relatively low duty cycle MW DC1 , to accelerate the cooking rate.
  • the microwave element can be activated or not in relation to the desired browning level and desired cooking speed.
  • the dry preheating step can comprise multiple heating rates rather than a single heating rate, whereby the temperature of the cavity 14 is raised to a first preheat temperature at a first preheating rate and thereafter raised to a second preheat temperature at a second preheating rate different than the first preheating rate.
  • An illustration of this example is heating the cavity 14 to about 90 °C in about 4 minutes and then heating the cavity to about 100 °C in about 2 minutes.
  • the heating system 35 can more effectively heat the cavity 14 so that the entire cavity 14, including any spaces and items in the cavity 14, is uniformly heated to the boiling point of water.
  • the cooking steps have been described above and shown in Fig. 5 as maintaining the temperature of the cavity 14 at a constant second temperature.
