Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION AND CLAIM TO PRIORITY
  • The present application is a continuation of and claims priority to commonly assigned, pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/451,760 filed on Mar. 7, 2017.
    • BACKGROUND
  • Generally, a convection oven includes a convection fan that is near one or more heating elements. The heating element heats air which is blown into the cooking cavity of the oven by the convection fan. While the convection fan is useful to heat and/or cook an item within the cooking cavity, the heated air blown into the cooking cavity can make the item very dry. Stand-alone steam systems are very large and costly to integrate into a cooking appliance. For example, a powered boiler is large, expensive, and requires welding and additional electrical power which may require sharing power with the heating elements and/or the convection fan motor. Thus, it is desirable to have a convection oven that has a smaller, less-expensive approach to provide moisture into the cooking cavity to help keep the item in the cooking cavity moist.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The trough assembly also includes a trough supply portion shaped to receive fluid and to direct the fluid to the trough tray portion so that the fluid can be heated and turned into steam by the heating element(s) and blown into the cooking cavity by the convection fan.
  • Another aspect of the present invention is a convection fan assembly with a steaming device. The convection fan assembly has a convection fan connected to a motor that rotates the convection fan and at least one generally annular heating element coupled near the convection fan. The convection fan assembly also has a trough assembly. The trough assembly has a trough tray located underneath a portion of the convection fan and the generally annular heating element(s). The trough assembly also has a trough supply portion shaped to receive fluid and to direct the fluid to the trough tray portion so that the fluid can be heated by the generally annular heating element(s) and turned into steam, which is blown by the convection fan.
