Abstract:
A food-preparation apparatus for forming and baking a food product (5) from a dough portion (2) in a capsule (12) includes a housing (3) having a capsule-handling device (4) for opening and/or emptying the capsule (12), an upper plate (14), and a lower plate (11), arranged in the housing (3). The lower plate can be adjusted in a guide device between a receiving position (A) for receiving the dough portion (2) from the capsule (12), a position of interaction (W) for interacting with the upper plate (14) for baking and/or forming the dough portion, and an emptying position (E) wherein the lower plate (11) is inclined relative to a base surface (46) of the food-preparation apparatus. The guide device has a diverter (20) with a diverter element (21), which can be switched between at least two switching positions for predetermining an adjustment distance of the lower plate (11) in the guide device, wherein the diverter element (21) is assigned an electromotive drive (M) for switching the diverter element (21) automatically.
