Marshmallow toasting apparatus and method

A marshmallow toasting apparatus for caramelizing the outer skin of marshmallow, said apparatus comprising:

• a housing, the housing including a top wall and a front wall, the top and front walls having a common slot extending therebetween, the common slot defining a marshmallow-receiving cavity and a member-receiving plane;
• a skewer member, the member being receivable in the member-receiving plane and being rotatable therein;
• and
• heat sourcing means for caramelizing the outer skin of marshmallow, said means being mounted within the housing adjacent the cavity for sourcing heat to the cavity.

A marshmallow toasting apparatus for caramelizing the outer skin of marshmallow, said apparatus comprising:

• a housing, the housing having a peripheral wall defining a centralized heat chamber, opposed portions of said wall comprising skewer-elevating means for elevating a skewer member in superior adjacency to the heat chamber;
• a skewer member, the skewer member being cooperable with said skewer elevating means for elevating a skewered marshmallow in superior adjacency to the heat chamber;
• and
• heat sourcing means for caramelizing the outer skin of marshmallow, said means being mounted within the housing adjacent the heat chamber for sourcing heat to the heat chamber.

A marshmallow toasting method for caramelizing the outer skin of marshmallow, said method comprising the steps of:

• skewering a marshmallow with a spit;
• slot-receiving the spit-skewered marshmallow, thereby positioning the marshmallow within peripheral marshmallow expansion chamber walls;
• directing heat energy toward the marshmallow from a select marshmallow expansion chamber wall;
• thermally expanding the marshmallow toward the peripheral marshmallow expansion chamber walls;
• and
• caramelizing an outer skin of the marshmallow via the directed heat energy.

A marshmallow toasting method for caramelizing the outer skin of marshmallow, said method comprising the steps of:

• skewering a marshmallow with a marshmallow rotisserie;
• slot-receiving the rotisserie-skewered marshmallow, thereby positioning the marshmallow within peripheral marshmallow expansion chamber walls;
• simultaneously directing heat energy toward the marshmallow from a select marshmallow expansion chamber wall and rotating the marshmallow via the marshmallow rotisserie;
• thermally expanding the marshmallow toward the peripheral marshmallow expansion chamber walls;
• and
• caramelizing an outer skin of the marshmallow via the directed heat energy.
