Abstract: An oven includes a cooking compartment for preparing food, a vapor extraction apparatus designed to extract vapors from the cooking compartment, and a catalyst fluidically coupled to the vapor extraction apparatus and designed to convert catalytically the vapors extracted in the vapor extraction apparatus. The catalyst includes a carrier and a layer of catalyst material applied on the carrier. In a normal mode of the oven for preparing food to be cooked, the catalyst has a concentration of acetic acid in the converted vapors which concentration of acetic acid amounts to less than or equal to 5 ppm. The oven is also able to operate in a pyrolysis mode which differs from the normal mode.

Abstract: A cooking device includes a cooking chamber wall delimiting at least partially a cooking chamber for receiving food to be cooked. A fan generates a cooling air flow for cooling an outer side of the cooking chamber wall such as to produce an intake region, in which there is a negative pressure in relation to a surrounding area, and a blow-out region, in which there is an excess pressure in relation to the surrounding area. A short-circuit device generates a short-circuit air flow between the blow-out region and the intake region, thereby generating a pressure-neutral region. The cooking chamber wall has a vapor outlet in communication with the cooking chamber for discharging vapor from the cooking chamber into the pressure-neutral region.
