System for automatically cooking and selling frozen food

This invention describes an automated vending machine that cooks frozen food. It works by using a robotic system to move food containers into a cooking chamber, where a device pierces the container. Hot air is then circulated through the pierced container to cook the food inside, with the ability to adjust temperature and airflow, even venting air to the outside.

Why it matters: The precise control of hot air flow and temperature, including switching between internal and external air, as detailed in the claims, has become more feasible and cost-effective due to advancements in compact sensors, microcontrollers, and actuators since 2014.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateObject moving system, air heating, piercing mechanism, valves
