Abstract:
Devices and methods for automating the process of making flatbread, such as roti. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a housing, an ingredient metering assembly, a mixing bowl assembly, a mixing actuator assembly, a cooking assembly, and an electronic assembly. The housing defines an interior volume and has several access openings with corresponding lids and/or covers. The ingredient metering assembly includes a flour container assembly, a flour delivery system, a water reservoir, and an oil reservoir. The mixing bowl assembly includes two bowls and a measurement system. The mixing actuator assembly includes a mixing mount, a mixing motor, a mixing paddle assembly, and a lower motor. The cooking assembly includes two platens and an actuator assembly. The electronic assembly includes a power source, a control module, and a LCD input/output screen. All components are integrated within the housing such that the apparatus is a consumer grade countertop appliance.

Claim (Index 62):
A method, comprising:\n conveying an ingredient mixture into a platen volume defined by a cooking assembly, the cooking assembly including a first platen and a second platen, the platen volume defined between a first heating surface of the first platen and a second heating surface of the second platen; moving at least one of the first platen or the second platen to place the cooking assembly in a flattening configuration, the first heating surface and the second heating surface each in contact with the ingredient mixture when the cooking assembly is in the flattening configuration; and rotating the cooking assembly between a first orientation and a second orientation, the first heating surface below the second heating surface when the cooking assembly is in the first orientation, the second heating surface below the first heating surface when the cooking assembly is in the second orientation.
