Abstract

A steam system includes a cooking chamber, a housing comprising a volume of water and an inlet to receive steam, condensate, drain water, and/or weak steam from the cooking chamber, a sensor that detects a temperature of the water, a dispenser that sprays cooling water into the water to reduce the temperature of the water if the temperature exceeds a predetermined level, and an outlet to drain a portion of the water from the housing.
