Abstract
An infrared cooking oven is provided with a rotatable spit which is hollow and is connected to a boiler producing steam which is fed into the spit and through orifices of the latter into meat mounted on the spit. The internal steam cooking coupled with the combined infrared and steam cooking of the exterior, reduces substantially the cooking time while ensuring that the meat will not dry out.
