Abstract
This disclosure relates to the field of cooking ovens for the preparation of foodstuffs in an enclosed environment including a visual flame along with a rotating cooking plate upon which foodstuffs are placed and are transported through various cooking regions before being removed from the cooking oven for consumption.
Claims20
An oven for cooking of foodstuffs, the oven comprising:
- a. a cooking chamber in an upper inner portion of the oven,
- b. the cooking chamber bounded on the lower surface by a rotating cooking plate,
- c. a doorway at a front portion of the oven providing food access to the cooking chamber;
- at least one heat element below the cooking plate;
- d. at least one heat sensor configured to determine the localized temperature of a first region of the cooking plate prior to the first region passing over the at least one heat element;
- and
- e. circuitry configured to engage the at least one heat element to provide a calculated amount of heat via the at least one heat element to the first region for a calculated time as the first region passes above the at least one heat element.
