Abstract

The invention is an apparatus for heat processing of food. The invention includes a frame which supports the subcomponents of the apparatus. The apparatus' subcomponents include a rack having a plurality of hook-like projections for holding the food. A rack displacement assembly reciprocally moves the rack between a food loading position and a heat processing position. The rack displacement assembly includes both a lever and a cable and pulley-actuated linkage. The rack is moved into a heating cavity when that rack is in its heat processing position. Heating means are provided on at least one side of the heating cavity.
