ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for final rethermalizing of a pre-cooked food product. The method comprises providing a heating fluid into a heating chamber via a controlled valve, sensing the level of the heating fluid in the heating chamber, controlling the controlled valve to maintain the level of the heating fluid in the heating chamber at a preset level, heating the heating fluid when it has reached a predetermined level, sensing the temperature of the heating fluid in the heating chamber, maintaining the temperature of the heating fluid at a preset temperature, placing the food product into at least one rethermalizing receptacle, moving the rethermalizing receptacle from a first position outside the heating chamber to a second position within the heating chamber to rethermalize the food product when the temperature of the heating fluid is at the preset temperature and the level of the heating fluid is at the preset level, maintaining the rethermalizing receptacle in the second position for a preset period of time while maintaining the preset temperature and the preset level of the heating fluid; and moving the rethermalizing receptacle to the first position after the preset period of time.
