Electric cooking apparatus having an air flow

An electric appliance for cooking and/or reheating food, comprising:

• a housing with a cooking tray arranged such as to receive food to be cooked and/or reheated,
• a circuit for heating by ventilation, comprising a ventilation sleeve with an outlet arranged such as to direct an air flow containing heat radiation onto the food to be cooked and/or reheated,
• a heating means comprising heating elements arranged in the ventilation sleeve such as to heat the air flow by radiation and by convection, wherein at least one heating element of the heating means is arranged relative to the outlet of the ventilation sleeve to be directly opposite the food in a straight, unobstructed path during cooking and/or reheating in such a way that heat radiation produced by said at least one heating element of the heating means directly contacts the food and heats the food to be cooked and/or reheated, and wherein the heating elements comprise:
• a first heating element with a first wire resistor mounted on a first support and which is the at least one heating element arranged relative to the outlet of the ventilation sleeve directly opposite the food in a straight, unobstructed path during cooking and/or reheating, and a second support in the form of a vane, arranged in the ventilation sleeve upstream of the first heating element such as to redirect at least part of the air flow onto the first heating element.
