Then, when the uppermost pattie P on the patties placing table 60 is ejected from the patties outlet 52 of the casing 50 and reaches the proper position, it is confirmed (for example, an optical sensor can be used), and the linearized motor 62 is activated. When the patty placing table 60 is stopped, the raising of the patty placing table 60 is stopped, and the stepping motor 72 is activated at the same time or immediately thereafter. With the above operation of the stepping motor 72, the above-mentioned uppermost patty P is moved to an appropriate position of the patty baking and cooking apparatus A by the shifting arm 73. The transfer of the patty P to the proper position is executed by utilizing the characteristics of the stepping motor 72 (the characteristics in which the rotation angle and the rotation speed of the output shaft of the motor are determined by the number of pulses input to the motor). When the Patty P arrives at the proper position of the Patty baking cooker A and this “arrival” state is confirmed (for example, an optical sensor can be used), the torque actuator TA is activated and the lid 51 of the freezing stocker 5 is activated. Is changed from the “open” state to the “closed” state, the elevating cylinder 20 is activated, the upper baking plate 1 is lowered, and the patty P is pinched by the upper and lower baking plates 1, 1. The calorific value of the heater 11 changes from the “small” state to the “large” state, and the sandwiching pressure cooking of the patty P is started by the upper and lower baking plates 1, 1. After a certain period of time (the time required to properly burn up the patty P), the heat generation amount of the heater 11 changes from the "large" state to the "small" state, and the lifting cylinder 20 becomes the operating state. The upper firing plate 1 is raised. When the upper firing plate 1 comes to the raised position and is confirmed, the stepping motor 72 is activated, the baked patty P is discharged to the finished product table KT, and the torque actuator TA is activated. The lid 51 changes from the “closed” state to the “open” state. When the "open" state of the lid 51 is confirmed, the stepping motor 72 is caused to rotate in the reverse direction, and returns to the original position, that is, above the freezer stocker 5. The operations as described above are repeated so that the patties P are continuously and efficiently baked.

In this embodiment, the object to be cooked is the frozen meat patties, but the object is not limited to this, and various kinds of foods / food types can be uniformly cooked in a short time.
