Abstract
Apparatus (10) for cooking food comprising: at least one heating stage (30, 40); a conveyor system (50) defining a predetermined path (60) extending from a loading region (70), through the at least one heating stage (30, 40), and onward to an unloading region (80); and means (100) for releasably holding food on the conveyor system (50) as the food on the conveyor system is transported through the at least one heating stage (30, 40).
Claims40
Apparatus for cooking food comprising:
- at least one heating stage;
- a conveyor system defining a predetermined path extending from a loading region, through the at least one heating stage, and onward to an unloading region;
- and
- means for releasably holding food on the conveyor system as the food on the conveyor system is transported through the at least one heating stage.
Apparatus according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the conveyor system comprises a conveyer chain system comprising at least one chain and a chain drive mechanism operative to drive movement of the at least one chain.
Apparatus for cooking food comprising:
- a heat source defining an upright heating surface, wherein the upright heating surface comprises:
- an upper heating zone extending from a midway section of the upright heating surface to an uppermost section of the upright heating surface;
- and
- a lower heating zone positioned below the upper heating zone and extending from the midway section of the heat surface to a lowermost section of the upright heating surface;
- wherein the upper heating zone is configured to provide a lower heat output density in power per unit area than the lower heating zone when both the upper heating zone and lower heating zone are activated to generate heat.
Apparatus for cooking food comprising:
- a rotatable food support operative to rotate about a rotary axis;
- and a heat source;
- wherein the heat source comprises a concave curved heating surface facing the rotatable food support.
