Machine for cooking bread

An appliance for cooking food comprising

• an upper heating plate and a lower heating plate provided with surfaces facing each other, the upper heating plate being movable between a closed position in which the upper and the lower heating plates are in contact with each other and an open position in which the upper and the lower heating plates are spaced from each other,
• linkage constrained to the upper heating plate and to the lower heating plate to allow the upper heating plate to be lifted from or to approach in a substantially parallel manner the lower heating plate,
• wherein
• the appliance comprises one or more cavities for housing food to be cooked at least at one of said surfaces and at least one vent channel adapted to put said one or more cavities in fluid communication with an environment external to the appliance when plates are in said closed position, and wherein the linkage means comprise opening means configured to operate the linkage means and to move the upper plate away from the lower plate such to allow the cavities to be opened to the external environment when gas pressure inside said cavities exceeds a threshold value.
