CONVEYOR-TYPE GRILLING APPLIANCE FOR COOKING OR RE-THERMALIZING FOOD WITH MULTIPLE INDEPENDENTLY CONTROLLED SETS OF CONVEYORS DEFINING MULTIPLE INDEPENDENTLY CONTROLLED CONVEYOR COOKING LANES

摘要

A grilling appliance is disclosed for preparing various different types of food wherein the food is conveyed through the appliance, from a food insert end of the appliance to a food removal end of the appliance, by means of continuously movable flow-through upper and lower cooperating conveyors operatively associated with platen-type heating members over which the upper and lower conveyors are conveyed so as to be heated by the platen-type heating members and thereby, in turn, heat, brown, or carmelize the food as desired or required. Multiple independently controlled conveyor sets define multiple independently controlled conveyor cooking lanes within the appliance.
