Abstract
The present application in particular is related to a method of estimating a humidity level in a steam cooking chamber (4) of a steam cooking appliance (1). The method comprises successively measuring static or quasi-static pressure values (P1, . . . , Pn) prevailing within the steam cooking chamber (4); successively calculating from the pressure values (P1, . . . , Pn); and setting and using the humidity index value (EH1, EHn) as an actual measure for the humidity level.
