Abstract: A food-preparation apparatus for forming and baking a food product (5) from a dough portion (2) in a capsule (12) includes a housing (3) having a capsule-handling device (4) for opening and/or emptying the capsule (12), an upper plate (14), and a lower plate (11), arranged in the housing (3). The lower plate can be adjusted in a guide device between a receiving position (A) for receiving the dough portion (2) from the capsule (12), a position of interaction (W) for interacting with the upper plate (14) for baking and/or forming the dough portion, and an emptying position (E) wherein the lower plate (11) is inclined relative to a base surface (46) of the food-preparation apparatus.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food-preparation apparatus, in particular baking apparatus, for forming and baking a food product (5), preferably a flat bread from a dough portion (2) accommodated in a capsule (12), having a housing (3), having a capsule-handling device (4) for opening and/or emptying the capsule (12), and having an upper plate (14), and a lower plate (11), arranged in the housing (3), it being possible for the lower plate to be adjusted in a guide device between a receiving position (A) for receiving the dough portion (2) from the capsule (12), a position of interaction (W) for interacting with the upper plate (14) for baking and/or forming, in particular pressing, the dough portion, and an emptying position (E), in which the lower plate (11) is inclined relative to a base surface (46) of the food-preparation apparatus (1), wherein the guide device has a diverter (20) with a diverter element (21), which can be switched between at least two switching positions and is intended for predetermining an
