Abstract: A process for preparing a storage-stable silane-terminated polymer of formula (I) or (II) where D is linear or branched hydrocarbon group, A is polymer backbone selected from group, R1, R1?, R2 and R2? are each linear, branched or cyclic hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, n is 1, 2 or 3, x and y are natural numbers between 1 and 10, G is linear or branched hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 hydrocarbon atoms, F is linear, branched or cyclic organic radical containing no isocyanate-reactive groups, m is natural number greater than 1, E is reactive group reacting with isocyanate group and selected from group consisting of NH2, NHR4 and SH, and R4 is linear, branched or cyclic hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A cooking device comprises a steam generator feeding steam to a cooking chamber. A heater allows to heat the steam in the cooking chamber to a temperature above 100° C. A measuring opening is arranged at the cooking chamber, and a temperature sensor is located at an exit side of the measuring opening. When the temperature at the temperature sensor exceeds a threshold, a second opening arranged at the cooking chamber is opened to release gas from the cooking chamber. This allows to maintain a substantially pure steam atmosphere within the cooking chamber.
