An aerospace galley insert includes an oven defining therein an oven inner cavity for receiving food to be prepared and a fluid supply for supplying fluid comprising water or water vapour to the oven inner cavity. The galley also includes an exterior space, a heat pipe extending between the cavity and the exterior space, a first temperature sensor for detecting a first temperature in the cavity, a second temperature sensor for detecting a second temperature in the exterior space, and a third temperature sensor for detecting a third temperature of the heat pipe where it extends into the exterior space. The system also includes a control unit configured to determine an actual water vapour concentration in the oven inner cavity based on the first, second and third temperatures, and configured to control the fluid supply in order to adjust the actual water vapour concentration to a target water vapour concentration.
