Abstract

A cooking device includes a cooking chamber wall delimiting at least partially a cooking chamber for receiving food to be cooked. A fan generates a cooling air flow for cooling an outer side of the cooking chamber wall such as to produce an intake region, in which there is a negative pressure in relation to a surrounding area, and a blow-out region, in which there is an excess pressure in relation to the surrounding area. A short-circuit device generates a short-circuit air flow between the blow-out region and the intake region, thereby generating a pressure-neutral region. The cooking chamber wall has a vapor outlet in communication with the cooking chamber for discharging vapor from the cooking chamber into the pressure-neutral region.
