The steam generation pipe (11) is placed onto the upper surface, "heating up first", of at least one leg (4) of the heater (5) which is placed in the horizontal position at the upper side of the cooking cavity (2). When the heater (5) is energized, heat is quickly transferred to the steam generation pipe (11), and the small volume of water (2 - 5 ml) taken into the steam generation pipe (11) vaporizes in seconds, thus instantaneously generating steam. In an embodiment of the present invention, the water (15 -20°C) supplied to the steam generation pipe (11) is preheated up to, for example, 80 - 100 °C in the preheating pipe (13) or in the first section of the steam generation pipe (11).

  • In another embodiment of the present invention, the oven (1) comprises a water collection pipe (16) which is positioned above the steam generation pipe (11), which extends at least partially along the steam generation pipe (11), which is fluidly connected to the steam generation pipe (11), which collects splattering water droplets instantaneously heated in the steam generation pipe (11) and which prevents the water droplets from dripping into the cooking cavity (2) through the steam outlet orifice (10) and/or the side steam outlet holes (12).
  • In another embodiment of the present invention, the heater (5), the steam generation pipe (11) and the water collection pipe (16) are disposed one above the other.
  • In another embodiment of the present invention, the thermally conductive member (15) surrounds all three of the heater (5), the steam generation pipe (11) and the water collection pipe (16) which are disposed one above the other so as to keep them together, thus transferring heat from the heater (5) to the steam generation pipe (11).
  • Since the steam generation is performed in the cooking cavity (2) in the oven (1) of the present invention, there is no heat loss to the environment.

The first steam release time is shortened by vaporizing the small amount of water supplied to the steam generation pipe (11). In the oven (1), a low-cost steam generation system is realized in order to carry out steam cooking and to instantaneously generate steam.
