ABSTRACT:
An oven assembly (20) includes a housing (38) having a cover (50), a bottom floor (42) and a side wall (28) which define an interior cooking volume (22). an annular water trough (24) is positioned in the housing (38) proximate its interior bottom. The trough (24) includes an outer trough perimeter (26) dimensioned to extend sufficiently close to the side wall (28) around the housing perimeter such that the trough (24) is positioned for receipt of gravitating substances deposited on the side wall (28), and is formed to receive and collect the substances. Moreover, the trough (24) is to retain a quantity of a liquid (43) sufficient for humidification of food cooked in the oven interior. Lastly, a drainage mechanism (36) is disposed at the bottom of the trough (24) for removing substances and liquids from the trough (24). The trough (24) includes an inner trough perimeter which defines an opening (58) in a middle section thereof such that the heating elements (32, 34) may provide heat to the interior volume (22). A deflector (64) is centrally positioned above the opening (58), wherein the heated air passing through the opening (58) is deflected by the deflector (64) over the trough (24) and over the liquid (43) to humidify the same. A method for cleaning the oven interior (22) by draining the substances and liquids from the trough (24) through the drainage mechanism (36) is also described.
