Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing, a muffle arranged in the housing and including walls which define a cooking chamber of the cooking appliance, and a heating element designed strand-like and repeatedly bent and arranged outside the muffle in an intermediate space between the housing and the muffle. The heating element is arranged spaced apart from a heating-element-facing one of the walls and adjacent thereto. A distancing unit positions the heating element at a defined spacing from the heating-element-facing one of the walls.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing and a muffle arranged in the housing and defining a cooking chamber. A first heating element is arranged outside the muffle in an intermediate space between the housing and the muffle and arranged as top-heat heating element in an upper intermediate space region between an upper wall of the muffle and an upper outer wall of the housing in substantially parallel spaced-apart relation thereto. A second heating element is arranged outside the muffle in an intermediate space between the housing and the muffle and arranged as bottom-heat heating element in a lower intermediate space region between a lower wall of the muffle and a lower outer wall of the housing in substantially parallel spaced-apart to the lower wall of the muffle. The first and second heating elements have same configuration in terms of an electrical heating element parameter and/or a geometric heating element parameter.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a muffle arranged in a housing and a heating element arranged only in an intermediate space region formed between only one wall of the muffle and an outer wall of the housing in substantially parallel spaced-apart relation thereto. The heating element includes a first heating sub-element and a second heating sub-element. When viewed in a projection plane in parallel relation to a main extension surface of the heating element, one of the heating sub-elements is surrounded by the other heating sub-element. The heating sub-elements are operable independently of one another in one operating mode, and operable jointly in a further operating mode. A temperature sensor detects a temperature the wall of the muffle and is arranged in the intermediate space region adjacent to and between the heating sub-elements for detecting the temperature of the wall of the muffle in an operating mode of the heating element.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing and a muffle which is arranged in the housing and includes walls that define a cooking chamber of the cooking appliance and include a top wall, a bottom wall, a rear wall and side walls. The side walls have a thickness which is different from a thickness of the bottom wall and/or different from a thickness of the rear wall and/or different from a thickness of the top wall.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing, a muffle arranged in the housing and including walls to define a cooking chamber of the cooking appliance, a heating element arranged outside the muffle in an intermediate space between the housing and the muffle, and a thermal shielding unit arranged in the intermediate space and designed to thermally shield the heating element relative to the housing. The thermal shielding element is made of a material which has as melting point a temperature value which is higher than a maximum operating temperature of the heating element.

Abstract: A steam cooking appliance includes side walls defining a cooking space. At least one of the side walls has at least one overflow opening which is connected to an overflow line that branches into an overflow drain and a steam exhaust tube. At least one steam valve is provided on the steam exhaust tube and configured to change, at least temporarily, a cross section of the steam exhaust tube.
