Oven and an oven control method

An oven including:

• an enclosure defining an interior space,
• elements for heating said interior space,
• at least one cooling set for cooling said interior space including means for introducing cold air in said interior space and means for injecting water, and
• a programmable control unit,
• wherein said heating elements and said cooling set are connected to the control unit and said control unit is adapted to control said heating elements and said cooling set, and
• wherein said control unit is programmable for maintaining the interior space at a particular first temperature for a first cooking phase, and to effect forced cooling of the interior space by said cooling set from the particular first temperature to a particular second temperature lower than said first temperature, and for maintaining the interior space at the particular second temperature for a second cooking phase.

An oven comprising:

• an enclosure defining an interior space of the oven;
• a plurality of heating elements in said interior space;
• at least one cooling set for cooling said interior space, said cooling set including an evacuation device, a fan and a device for injecting a cooling fluid onto the fan;
• and
• a programmable control unit for controlling said plural heating elements and said cooling set.

A method of controlling an oven including the steps of:

• heating an interior space of the oven to a first temperature for a first cooking phase using a plurality of heating elements;
• opening a closeable evacuation device to evacuate hot air contained in the interior space;
• injecting water into the interior space, said opening the evacuation device and injecting the water steps forcibly cool the interior space from the first temperature to a second temperature lower than said first temperature, and
• maintaining the interior space at the second temperature for a second cooking phase.
