Abstract

A high frequency heating apparatus comprises a heating chamber (28), a metal skewer (5), a rotary driving portion (F) and a coupling (13). The heating chamber (28) comprises a high frequency generator (3) and a heater (2) for heating foods (26) contained therein. The metal skewer (5) supports the skewered food (26) and is rotatably suspended between both sidewalls (28b, 28c) of the heating chamber (28). The rotary driving portion (F) is provided for rotating the metal skewer (5) in the heating chamber (28). One end portion (5a) of the metal skewer (5) is coupled with the rotary driving portion (F) by the coupling (13). The coupling (13) is provided on the outside of one sidewall (28c) of the heating chamber (28). A support member (G) is provided at the position opposed to the coupling (13) for rotatably supporting the other end portion of the metal skewer (5). The support member (G) is detachably provided projecting from the other sidewall (28b) of the heating chamber (28). The support member (G) is constituted by a spacer (8) receiving a groove (7) provided on the other end portion of the metal skewer (5) and a bracket (10) for mounting the spacer (8) projecting from the sidewall …
