Abstract
A frying oven is provided for cooking primarily meats under induced humidity conditions in a manner minimizing flame charring of the food. The frying oven includes an open-top body which supports an inclined grill rack spaced over a plurality of gas burners. The grill rack acts to collect grease falling from the food and thus prevent grease contact with the burners during the cooking process. The grill rack also channels the grease to a collection trough which, in turn, channels the grease to an exteriorly located grease collection pan. When cooking, a cover is placed over the body to define a substantially enclosed cooking chamber, and steam is introduced into the chamber to provide a humid cooking environment.
