The invention relates to a cooking appliance (1) comprising a housing (2), a muffle (3) which is arranged in the housing (1) and which delimits, by means of walls (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), a cooking chamber (4) of the cooking appliance (1), and a hot air
system (12) that has a front wall (13) located in the cooking chamber (4) such that a reception space (14) for components (15, 16) of the hot air
system (12) is formed between a rear wall (7) of the muffle (3) and said front wall (13); the front wall (13) has air passage holes (17, 20) through which hot air can be conducted from the reception space (14) into the cooking chamber (4). The cooking appliance (1) also comprises a plate-type cooking chamber divider (21) which can be removed from the cooking chamber (4) and which, in its end position in the cooking chamber (4), separates the cooking chamber (4) into a first cooking chamber region (4a) and a second cooking chamber region (4b); in its end position, said cooking chamber divider (21) overlaps the front wall (13) when viewed in the
depth direction (z) of the cooking appliance (1), and / or in its end position, the cooking chamber
distributor (21) overlaps the front wall (13) when viewed in the vertical direction (y) of the cooking appliance (1); on the side (22) of the cooking chamber divider (21) facing the front wall (13), in a
peripheral region (23) of the cooking chamber divider (21) adjoining the front wall (13), an uneven flow conducting structure (24) is formed, by which the hot air (L) that enters the cooking chamber (4) through air passage holes (17, 20) and flows against the cooking chamber divider (21) can be deflected into the cooking chamber region (4a) to be supplied with the hot air (L).
