ABSTRACT:
A continuous cooking device includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet defined therein and an intermediate conveyor for conveying food products to be cooked from the inlet to the outlet through a cooking chamber including heating apparatus. The heating apparatus may include a pair of heating elements, one of the heating elements mounted on a door pivotal towards and away from the housing to open the cooking chamber for user access. Electrical connection to the door mounted cooking element may be provided by a hollow shaft that secures the door to the housing and provides a passageway for an electrical conductor. The conveyor is advantageously a belt conveyor made up of a plurality of removeably interconnected links separatable to facilitate cleaning. A second cooking element may be located on the opposite side of the conveyor from the door mounted cooking element, arranged in juxtaposition with the conveyor to define a food product passageway between the second cooking element and the conveyor. Since the position of the adjacent portion of the conveyor may be adjusted with respect to the second cooking element, a variably sized passageway is defined. The belt conveyor provides a slight contact pressure, pressing the food products against the second cooking element. The housing inlet may include an upstanding inclined guide element that is removably positionable atop the housing. The element also serves to secure a replaceable protective sheet over the second cooking element to protect the surface thereof.
