ABSTRACT:
A food flipping assembly (4), used to automatically flip food 180.degree. while cooking, includes a frame (16) having cam-carrying U-shaped arms (24, 25), and a pair of movable support plates (38) slidably mounted to the U-shaped arms for movement between first and second elevations. A food carrier (20) is pivotally mounted to the support plates for movement about a horizontal axis (22). A food carrier rotator (58) is mounted to the food carrier and has drive elements (60, 63) which engage cam surfaces (64, 66) carried by the arms. Movement of the food carrier from the first elevation to an intermediate elevation does not cause the food carrier to rotate; movement from the intermediate elevation to the second elevation causes the drive elements to engage the cam surfaces thus rotating the food carrier about 135.degree.. Lowering of the food carrier back onto the cooking surface causes the food carrier to complete its 180.degree. rotation.
