ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a vending machine for vending fried foods. The machine has a hopper for storing frozen food. The food is measured into a weigh basket and then transferred to a fry basket in a deep frier. The food is fried, and then delivered to the customer in a serving cup. The cooking oil in the deep frier can be replenished or even completely replaced at periodic intervals. The hopper can be moved forward out of the freezer and tilted forward to allow for easier cleaning and refilling. A stack of condiment packages is loaded into a tube, and the tube is inserted into a receiver. The first package rests on a support platform, and the receiver holds the tube at a position to secure all of the packages above the first. A push block on the end of a piston rod pushes the first package out from under the tube, and then retracts to allow the stack to fall to the support platform.
