ABSTRACT:
An oven for cooking food products comprising a substantially closed enclosure except for an inlet and an outlet in the end walls of the oven. A heater means extends through the top wall of the enclosure into the cooking chamber for producing a gaseous cooking medium and suction fan means are provided on the enclosure top wall on either side of the heater means and in relatively closely spaced relation to the outlet of the heater means, and a source of moisture is disposed between the heater means outlet and the suction side of each of the fans for mixing moisture with the heated medium from the heater means. A conveyor is adapted to receive food products and move the products through the oven from the inlet to the outlet thereof, and duct fingers are provided both above and below the conveyor for directing and impinging the heated gaseous cooking medium onto the food products being moved by the conveyor through the oven. A second chamber separate from the cooking chamber is provided in communication with the pressure side of each of the fans and connected to the duct fingers for directing the mixture of heated gaseous medium and moisture withdrawn from the cooking chamber by the fans to the duct fingers to then be applied thereby to the food product. Recycling of the cooking medium is accomplished and the oven is so constructed that cleaning thereof is materially facilitated. A novel method of mass cooking of food product is also disclosed.
