ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for effecting two-sided cooking of food products, such as frozen hamburger patties, is disclosed which has been configured for highly desirable efficiency, versatility, and consistency in food product preparation. The apparatus includes a housing upon which is mounted a substantially horizontal lower platen assembly, with the apparatus further including one or more upper platen assemblies each mounted on a respective pivotal support arm for movement between a lowered inactive position and a raised active position with respect to the lower platen assembly. The apparatus includes a mounting arrangement for permitting limited relative movement of each upper platen assembly with respect to its support arm, and further includes mechanisms for maintaining a predetermined minimum spacing between the upper and lower platens for avoiding undue compaction of the food products. Automatic controls effect upward movement of the upper platen for precise cooking control.
