ABSTRACT:
A completely automatic, fully self-contained vending machine of standard size which may be operated so that a packaged (boxed) dough-based food product such as a pizza can be withdrawn from a freezer for storing the food product, and delivered to a microwave oven for heating to an appropriate temperature, for delivery (of the heated and cooked food product) to the consumer within a relative short, commercially-desirable time period on the order of one minute or less. Also, a special, high intensity microwave oven which incorporates directionally variable guide vanes for regulating the microwave cooking process with improved efficiency; a dough-based food product (such as a pizza or the like) constituted of a dough which is specially blended for interacting with the microwave oven to achieve rapid cooking times while simultaneously providing a cooked food product of improved taste, quality and consistency; and a carton for containing the food product which is formed in a manner which facilitates all phases of the food-dispensing process including freezing, microwave cooking, and eventual delivery to the consumer.
