Patent attributes
A cooking device comprises a cooking chamber (11) and one or more heating elements (12). Furthermore, a blower (20) is provided, which comprises a radial blower impeller (22) and an atomisation element rotating with the radial blower impeller (22). A water supply (30) comprises at least one water outlet (33), which supplies water onto the atomisation element (25). An evaporation of the water and thus a humid cooking chamber air is achieved. The atomising element is a discoidal, axially-symmetrical element, the outer radius of which is the same as, or larger than the inner radius of the blade region of the radial blower impeller (22). The atomisation element is arranged adjacent to the radial blower impeller in the axial direction and the water outlet (33) is arranged adjacent to the atomisation element (25), outside the radial blower impeller (22).
