The program comprises a steaming stage to steam the meat in the food preparation chamber during which the controller controls the humidifier for a first period of time and controls the fan and the heating element during said first period of time to generate a first wind speed within the food preparation chamber and keep the temperature within the food preparation chamber in a range of 60-70°C during said steaming stage; a drying stage to dry the steamed meat after said steaming stage during which the controller controls the fan and the heating element for a second period of time to increase the wind speed within the food preparation chamber to a second wind speed and reduce the humidity in the food preparation chamber; and a roasting stage to roast the dried meat after said drying stage during which the controller controls the heating element for a third period of time to keep the temperature within the food preparation chamber in a range of 140-160°C during said roasting stage.
