Patent ID: 8789459

Claim:
A food heating device comprising: a first substantially planar platen having a first internal heating element located inside the first substantially planar platen and, a first conveyor arranged and spaced away from the first substantially planar platen by a first separation distance in order to transport a food product along and in contact with the first substantially planar platen and between the first substantially planar platen and the first conveyor, such that when the food product having first and second sides, is between the first conveyor and the first substantially planar platen, the first side of the food product will make direct contact with the first substantially planar platen; a second substantially planar platen and a second conveyor, downstream of the first platen and first conveyor, the second platen having a second internal heating element located inside the second substantially planar platen and the second conveyor arranged and spaced away from the second substantially planar platen by a separation distance in order to transport the food product along and in contact with the second substantially planar platen between the second substantially planar platen and the second conveyor, such that when the food product is between the second conveyor and the second substantially planar platen, the second side of the food product will make direct contact with the second substantially planar platen.
