Food heating apparatus

An oven having a heating chamber in which a perforate food container is rotatably mounted about a center axis of rotation. The container has, relative to its longitudinal center axis, a symmetrical octagonal configuration so as to comprise two planar end walls and eight symmetrically arranged sidewalls. The container rotates at a slow rate, and hot air is directed upwardly and laterally through the food in the container to heat the same. Formed in the upper wall of the oven is an elongate planar condensation chamber, and exhaust fumes from the cooking oven pass upwardly and forwardly into this condensation chamber, in a manner to combine with ambient air so as to lower the temperature and enhance condensation.
