ABSTRACT:
An apparatus prepares food products using high velocity air flow. The apparatus includes a cabinet for holding food products and a blower for supplying an air flow to the cabinet in order to heat the food products to a preparation temperature and to maintain the food products at a holding temperature. The cabinet includes a plurality of air inlet ports through which a portion of the air flow enters the cabinet, and a plurality of air outlet ports from which the air flow exits the cabinet. The air flow is controlled at a rate within a range of about 1800 to about 2000 cubic feet per minute during a preparation period and within a range of about 810 to about 930 cubic feet per minute during a holding period. Further, a method for preparing food products using high velocity air flow includes the following steps: placing food products contained in a substantially moisture-tight, storage bags into a cabinet; directing an air flow against the storage bags at a first flow rate within a range of about 1800 to about 2000 cubic feet per minute during a preparation period, and then directing an air flow against the storage bags at a second flow rate within a range of about 810 to about 930 cubic feet per minute during a holding period.
