Abstract
Frozen meals are placed in a hermetically sealable cooking space (2) in which explosion-like puffs of steam are produced. Before the puffs of steam are produced, the air present in the cooking space can be heated. The puffs of steam are produced by evaporation of dosed quantities of water. Water is introduced into the cooking space (2) through a nozzle (40) which opens into the cooking space. The means can be regenerated or even cooked with the greatest possible care in the shortest possible time without detriment to their quality.
