ABSTRACT:
An automatic food dispenser for dispensing hot instant meals, particularly pizza, includes a refrigeration chamber and at least one oven. The frozen instant meals are stored in tubular magazines which are disposed on a circle within a rotatable drum-type storage container. The oven includes a horizontally extendable push frame and a push front which forms the oven door. A cooking tray is mounted on the push frame to be raised and lowered in such a manner that, when the oven is opened, the cooking tray is automatically moved upward from a lowered cooking position within the cooking chamber into a loading position and, once the push frame is fully extended, further upward into a discharge position within a discharge chamber accessible to the operator. An instant meal selected by the operator is removed in its frozen state by means of a removal device provided at the underside of the refrigeration chamber from the corresponding tubular magazine and is placed onto the cooking tray which is in the loading position. Then the push front closes, causing the cooking tray to be automatically moved back into the cooking chamber of the oven. At the end of the required thawing and cooking time, the hot instant meal is transported out of the oven by means of the movable cooking tray directly into the discharge chamber.
