Abstract
Disclosed is a temperature and humidity controllable doorless oven for cooking, warming and storing food products for extended periods of time. The oven includes a cabinet having interior walls and exterior walls which form an air duct between the walls. An interior oven chamber is formed within the interior walls with the cabinet providing an access opening into the interior oven chamber. A controllable heating element generates a warm environment inside the interior oven chamber and a humidifier generates a moist environment. To maintain the warm and moist environment inside the interior oven chamber, an air stream which forms an air curtain is moved through the air duct and across the access opening.
