Superheated steam grill
A superheated stream grill includes a heating tray to serve as a heat source for heating and cooking the food materials. In addition, it also provides a function of heating food materials by using a superheated stream. The grill has a heating system for generating the superheated stream. The heating system atomizes the water molecules to form mist by means of the supersonic vibration, and then the mist is heated and converted into the superheated stream. The superheated stream is injected and sprayed onto the food materials. In this way, the mouth feeling of the food materials after cooking is much better and the time for cooking is also reduced.
1. A superheated steam grill comprising
a body having an upper lid movable to an open position and a closed position with respect to the body, an inner chamber formed between the upper lid and the body with the upper lid at the closed position;

a mist generator for generating atomized water molecules; and
a heating tube having a passage in communication with the inner chamber, the atomized water molecules generated by the mist generator entering the passage to form a superheated stream, the superheated stream being delivered into the inner chamber via the passage;
wherein the heating tube is combined with a spray head for spraying the stream into the inner chamber;
wherein the heating tube comprises a mist conduit, an electric heating tube extending substantially parallel to the mist conduit and a heat-conducting wrapping for transferring the heat generated by the electric heating tube to the mist conduit;
wherein the atomized water molecules generated by the mist generator are guided into the heating tube by the wind of a fan;
wherein the fan has an air-guiding mask for guiding the direction of the airflow.
2. The superheated stream grill according to claim 1 , wherein the upper lid is pivoted to the body.
3. A superheated stream grill, comprising:
a body having an upper lid movable to an open position and a closed position with respect to the body, an inner chamber formed between the upper lid and the body with the upper lid at the closed position;
a water-storing member;
a supersonic vibrator provided in the water-storing member for atomizing the water stored in the water-storing member to form the mist;
