  • Patent number: 5339726
    Abstract: A food heating oven comprising a plurality of perforate food baskets removably mounted to respective prongs of a rotating rod in an oven chamber. Hot air is blown through the oven chamber to heat the food in the baskets. Each prong is color coded, and there are a plurality of individually operable timing devices, each being color coded to correspond to related prongs. Thus, the time that each basket is placed in the oven can be selectively determined, and each basket can at any time be inserted into, or removed from, the oven chamber. This enables a variety of food items having different heating time rquirements to be simultaneously heated in the oven.

  • Patent number: 4491065
    Abstract: An oven having a heating chamber in which a perforate food container is rotatably mounted about a center axis of rotation. The container has, relative to its longitudinal center axis, a symmetrical octagonal configuration so as to comprise two planar end walls and eight symmetrically arranged sidewalls. The container rotates at a slow rate, and hot air is directed upwardly and laterally through the food in the container to heat the same. Formed in the upper wall of the oven is an elongate planar condensation chamber, and exhaust fumes from the cooking oven pass upwardly and forwardly into this condensation chamber, in a manner to combine with ambient air so as to lower the temperature and enhance condensation.
