The present invention refers to a combined process for generating steam in a steam-baking oven. The oven (2) comprises a baking chamber (3) containing at least one air heating element (10) and at least one fan (4) to keep the air moving inside the baking chamber (3); the oven (2) is associated with a steam generator (5) and is connected to a water supply (6). The combined process includes a saturation step, in which the steam generator (5) is activated until a substantial steam saturation is obtained in the baking chamber (3), and a spraying step in which the steam generator (5) is deactivated and the steam is produced by spraying water onto the heating elements (10); the steam generator (5) is temporarily and periodically activated during the spraying step to keep the steam quality substantially constant.
Combined process 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 steam-baking oven (2) being associated to a steam generator (5) and being connected to a water supply (6), said combined method being characterized in that it comprises a saturation step, wherein said steam generator (5) is activated until said baking chamber (3) is substantially steam-saturated, and a spraying step wherein said steam generator (5) is switched-off and steam is generated by spraying water on said at least one heating member (10), said steam generator (5) being temporarily and periodically activated during said spraying step to keep substantially unchanged the steam quality.
Method as any of the preceding claims, wherein said saturation step comes before said spraying step.
