Method of making a housing for food-related apparatus with arcuate panels

A method of making a housing assembly having a plurality of walls enclosing a space for a food-related apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• forming a base closure with an upwardly facing and a surrounding support ledge having a plurality of corners and at least one curved section extending between two of the of the plurality of corners that are adjacent to each
• forming, independently of the step of forming the base closure, a wall assembly from a planer, thin-walled, flexible, resilient work piece having a thickness, a top, a bottom with a bottom edge and a pair of generally parallel, linear, opposite ends extending between the top and the bottom, by performance of the steps of
• bending into the work piece a plurality of substantially straight folds that are generally parallel to the pair of opposite ends including at least one fold having an interior angle that is significantly greater than or lesser than a right angle,
• after the plurality of substantially, straight folds are made, bringing the opposite ends together in mating, abutting relationship to place the work piece in a stressed state with a cross-sectional configuration congruent with the surrounding support ledge including the curved section,
• attaching the opposite ends together in aligned, abutting, mating relationship to form one of the plurality of walls having the thickness of the work piece and to maintain the work piece in a stressed state;
• and
• fitting the entire bottom edge on top of the base closure and in supported relationship with respect to the surrounding support ledge.
