An oven comprising a cabinet having a plurality of cooking cavities; air recirculating units for circulating air through each cooking cavity; humidity control apparatus for controlling humidity of air circulated through the cavity. Programmable controls regulate air flow through the recirculating units to provide controlled pulses of air of controlled temperature and humidity to provide a desired surface moisture content.

An oven comprising: first and second cooking cavities; air recirculating means for drawing air from each of said first and second cooking cavities and for selectively delivering air to each said cooking cavity; means controlling the temperature of recirculating air; a tray of water; means to control the temperature of said water; means directing a portion of said recirculating air to impinge against the surface of said water; humidity control means to adjust the proportion of recirculating air delivered to said directing means for controlling humidity of air circulated through the cavities; and control means to regulate air flow through said recirculating means to each of said cavities to provide controlled pulses of air of controlled temperature and humidity through one cooking cavity wherein the total volume of air recirculated through said plurality of cooking cavities is significantly greater than the volume of said one cavity to provide a reservoir of moist air having sufficient volume to permit condensation of moisture from the air onto the surface of a food product in said one cooking cavity having a temperature less than the dewpoint of the air without significantly changing the dewpoint of the total reservoir of moist air in said plurality of cooking cavities.
