Abstract

A hamburger patty and bun cooker has a frame supporting a pair of vertically spaced, relatively flat, horizontal heated platens. One run of an endless conveyor on said frame travels through the space between the platens to advance hamburger patties through such space. At least one of the platens is provided with a low-friction layer between it and an advancing patty. The layer is constituted by jets of hot air discharged over the platen surface or by a Teflon-coated thin, metal foil sheet or by a Teflon-carrying thin, fiber glass sheet, the sheets being readily changeable. Bun portions for the individual patties are advanced on the same frame in paths parallel to the hamburger patties by comparable endless conveyors and are heated by individual platens on the frame as the bun portions advance.
