  • Publication number: 20240115066
    Abstract: A cooking adjustment system for a cooking appliance includes a body that defines a cooking cavity. A steam generator system is coupled to the body. The steam generator system is configured to inject steam into the cooking cavity. An air temperature sensor is disposed within the cooking cavity and configured to sense a dry bulb temperature. A food probe has multiple food temperature sensors. At least one of the food temperature sensors is configured to sense a surface temperature of a food item. A controller is communicatively coupled to the steam generator system, the air temperature sensor, and the food probe. The controller is configured to determine a wet bulb temperature utilizing the surface temperature of the food. The controller is configured to adjust relative humidity within the cooking cavity in response to at least one of the wet bulb temperature and the dry bulb temperature.

  • Publication number: 20230232846
    Abstract: A food smoking device is provided and includes a housing removably disposed within an oven; a heater disposed within the housing; and a container disposed on the heater. The container receives wood or coal pellets, and a lid of the container is perforated. The housing defines a smoke-collecting chamber therein. The smoke-collecting chamber receives, via the perforated lid of the container, smoke generated from heated wood or coal pellets. The smoke-collecting chamber fluidly communicates with a cooking chamber of the oven via an opening defined in the housing and supplies the generated smoke into the cooking chamber. Further, a suction fan is disposed within the housing to selectively extract smoke into the smoke-collecting chamber.
