  • Patent number: 4791861
    Abstract: A compact pizza storage and bake unit which takes up a maximum of twenty inches wide on a counter space, eighteen inches deep, and thirty-one inches high. This unit carries in its lower portion at least ten refrigerated or frozen pizza crusts and ingredients for the pizza including sauce, cheese packets adequately proportioned for the amount required, and garnishing such as pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, capers and the like. The oven is the top half and separated entirely from the bottom half refrigeration area by dead air space and the compressor area. A blower is provided adjacent the compressor to accomplish the twofold purpose of evacuating the dead air space between the oven and refrigerator to prevent undesirable transfer of heat to the refrigerator, and at the same time to accelerate the cooling through the condenser refrigeration coils mounted in the rear portion of the unit. The sidewalls of the frame are lowered adjacent the dead air space with the blower directly covering one.
