Abstract

This invention relates to apparatus for making waffles or other batter-based cooked moulded food products, the apparatus comprising a support frame supporting a cooking chamber defined by a pair of co-operating platens comprising an upper platen and a lower platen at least one of which is heated in use to cook the batter, the frame carrying a mechanism by which each one of the pair of platens is selectively driven to move toward or away from the other of the platens. The apparatus is automated to produce the cooked food product rapidly. A controller controls the process of making of the food product from opening of the cooking chamber, to dispensing of a required dose/volume of batter from a source of supply into the cooking chamber, closing of the chamber, cooking of the batter in the chamber for the required time, opening of the chamber and delivery of the cooked food product.
