Abstract: Method and apparatus for preparing and dispensing a combination of food products in a vending machine from a selection of components prepackaged in a plurality of trays sealed with a single peel off tape. The method comprises dispensing a top component onto a positioning releasable support and moving it into an oven, independently dispensing a tray with bottom component, sliding it to and raising into a moveable oven, independently heating components, removing components from ovens, moving said moveable oven out of the tray path, moving components to close proximity of each other and releasing top component into the tray. The apparatus has means for dispensing each of the individual components toward front of said vending machine; means for three-dimensional positioning of the releasable support for top components; means for bottom component tray lateral displacement; stationary oven, moveable oven, and an elevator laterally aligned with said product delivery opening.
