Toy food processor and simulated oven

Abstract

A toy food processor and oven includes a generally rectangular housing supporting a slidable tray above an internal simulated baking chamber. The housing includes a frontal opening which receives the tray in a sliding insertion. A food grinder including a pair of parallel rollers and handle crank mechanism is supported by a generally cylindrical housing above the food tray. The food grinder receives a brittle food material such as crackers or the like which is converted or crushed to a particulate material as the rollers are rotated and the food article is inserted between the rollers. The crushed particulate food material is accumulated upon the tray. The tray and food grinder are separated and the particulate food material is formed into a plurality of shaped food articles or patties upon the tray surface. The tray is then inserted into the baking chamber through the frontal opening. A sprinkler assembly is supported within the baking chamber and receives a darkened powdered or finely ground food material such as cinnamon, cocoa or ground chocolate powder which is sprinkled upon the shaped food patties. The accumulated powdered material upon the food patties imparts the appearance of oven browning to the food articles which are then withdrawn from the simulated baking chamber.
