Abstract: A tiltable dispensing or serving plate or shelf capable of controlling the temperature of the items to be dispensed, such as by cooking or keeping food items warm or cold, particularly such as are served in fast food restaurants, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, cold drinks, and the like. The plate is tiltable and has a multiplicity of chutes or slides for maintaining the items to be dispensed in separate rows, with the ones to be dispensed located at the bottom of each of the chutes while the items added last to the row are located at the top of each chute. The temperature is variable and can be set at whatever temperature is necessary to accomplish the particular result desired, such as merely warming, cooling or actually cooking.
