Abstract
An electric baking oven includes an open mesh vertically oriented baking basket to hold food while the food is baked in air by a programmed combination of radiant and convective and conductive energy transfer. An electrical programming control controls the energy from vertically oriented toaster heating elements located juxtaposed to the large vertical faces of the basket and from at least one elongated heating member located below the vertical baking basket with the axis of the elongated heating member oriented nominally horizontal and parallel to the longer horizontal axis of the vertically oriented baking basket.

An electric baking oven comprising an open mesh vertically-oriented baking basket having large vertical faces to hold food while the food is baked in air, a programmed energy supply assembly to provide a programmed combination of radiant, and convective and conductive energy transfer, an electrical programming control for controlling the energy from vertically oriented toaster heating elements located in juxtaposition to said large vertical faces of said basket and from at least one elongated air heating member located below said vertical baking basket with the axis of said elongated heating member oriented nominally horizontal and parallel to the longer horizontal axis of said vertically oriented baking basket.
A batch type toaster for sliced bread comprising a heated toasting zone, one or more radiant heaters in said toasting zone, a mobile normally open transport to hold the bread slice, a designated unheated waiting zone for said mobile transport remote from said toasting zone, a transport mechanism to transfer said open transport with the bread slice from said waiting zone to the toasting zone, associated electrical and electronic controls designed to activate said one or more radiant heaters while restraining motion of said transport holder in said waiting zone remote from said toasting zone until the temperature of the radiant heaters and the thermal conditions in said toasting zone have reached designated toasting conditions and then direct said mobile transport to enter and be held within said toasting zone until the toasting cycle is complete.
A batch type toaster for sliced bread comprising a heated toasting zone, one or more radiant heaters in said toasting zone, a mobile normally open transport to hold the bread slice, a designated unheated waiting zone for said mobile transport upstream from said toasting zone, a transport mechanism to transfer said open transport with the bread slice from said waiting zone to the toasting zone, associated electrical and electronic controls designed to activate said one or more radiant heaters while restraining motion of said transport holder in said waiting zone until the temperature of the radiant heaters and the thermal conditions in said toasting zone have sufficiently reached designated toasting conditions and then direct said mobile transport to enter and be located within said toasting zone a sufficient time to toast the bread slice.
