ABSTRACT:
A cooking oven and method of cooking vertically arrayed food carrying skewers movably attached and carried in a horizontal endless travel path by conveyor means to encircle a heating element array within a single open cooking oven chamber so as to constantly directly and indirectly expose the food to the heat radiated from the element array throughout the complete travel path within the oven chamber. A plurality of internested drip pans are disposed within the oven chamber vertically beneath the food travel path for collecting juice drippage. The oven chamber superposed beneath a conveyor chamber contains an alternating array of infrared gas burners and reflectors arranged upright in a row. A slot communicating between the conveyor chamber and oven chamber provides for travel of suspended food carrying skewers within the oven chamber and incorporates a gasket seal to retain heat and inhibit transfer of contaminants downwardly to the oven chamber. Each skewer provides a stripper disk for facilitating unloading of food products and a retention clip for retaining food products vertically arrayed on each skewer. The oven has loading and unloading station doors at opposite sides and access doors at its ends to facilitate cooking and cleaning. The method of cooking shish kebobs or food carrying skewers allows for arranging food products selectively in a vertical array to obtain desired juice drippage between suspended food products to achieve a desired predetermined basting and seasoning therebetween.
