A control system for steam production in a oven combination is described. The control is adapted for use with a single source of steam and a plurality of oven cavities wherein cooking is achieved by a combination of convection oven and steam heat or by steam alone. The control system activates steam production in response to a temperature requirement for a particular oven and opens a valve permitting the inflow of steam into that oven alone. The control system can also be used to admit steam simultaneously to all oven cavities if required.

[ What is claimed:] [1.] Method for controlling steam production in a combination oven and steamer system wherein a plurality of oven cavities are supplied from a common source of steam production comprising the steps ofproviding at least a first and a second oven cavity, each oven cavity having an operative mode as a convection oven-steamer or as a steamer; providing a single source of steam production in separate communication with each respective cavity; providing first and second normally closed valves controlling communication between said source and each of said respective cavities; providing a first and a second temperature sensor in each of said respective cavities; and providing first and second steam production boards coupled to said respective sensors, valves and to said source of steamsensing a temperature requirement in one of said cavities and recognizing the same at its respective board; activating steam production; opening only the valve controlling communication between said one cavity and the steam production associated with said board while maintaining the other valve in a closed condition.
