A bleed gas clean-up system for a re-circulating oven.

The invention provides a dual thermometer system for the measurement and display of temperature data taken at two separate locations within an oven. In one aspect, the invention provides an elongated probe connected with a flexible electronic cable. The probe houses two temperature sensors—one for sensing internal food temperature, one for sensing inside oven air temperature. The sensors are space apart within the probe such that the one sensor can be positioned substantially within a food item and the other sensor can positioned substantially outside of the food item and within the oven. Signals from the sensors are relayed from the probe and through the cable; external electronics may attach to the cable to acquire the signals and display associated temperatures. In another aspect, signals from temperature sensors are relayed from the probe and through the cable to a first wireless termination. The first wireless termination wirelessly relays signals from the probe to a second wireless termination coupled to module electronics, to acquire the wireless signals and to display associated temperatures. In operation, the probe is inserted into food within an operating oven, such that one of the sensors senses food temperature and such that the other of the sensors senses oven air temperature; the cable extends from the probe and through the door of the oven; the module electronics may be attached to a convenient location in the kitchen, usually near to the oven, to display temperatures from the probe.

In a steam cooker, for heating of a food which is a mass of granular matters or linear matters such as rice or chow mein, a steam superheater is not turned on or is turned on with a very weak electric power so that steam supplied from steam supply pipes (94A to 94C) is substantially not superheated. Steam of 80° C. to 90° C. derived from the steam supply pipe (94B) is jetted out right downward from an opening (111a) of a steam jet pipe (111). Then, steam located around an end portion of the steam jet pipe (111) in a tray-shaped case (51) is pulled in by steam jetted out from the opening (111a), so that a large amount of steam is jetted against a bowl of rice or a dish of chow mein. As a result, surfaces of, for example, rice grains are prevented from immediately going beyond 100° C., so that condensation at the surfaces of the rice grains is efficiently achieved, and supply of condensed latent heat and penetration of condensed water (hot water) to the rice grains is efficiently achieved.
