    Abstract: An oven rack assembly includes an oven rack, a subframe, and a slide system coupled to the oven rack and the subframe. The slide system includes a pair of slide devices, a pair of rack brackets coupled to opposite sides of the oven rack, and a pair of subframe brackets coupled to opposite sides of the subframe. Each rack bracket has a plurality of openings to receive mounts of an inner member of the slide device therethrough to couple the slide device to the rack bracket. Each subframe bracket has a pair of upwardly opening recesses and slot openings extending from the recesses. The recesses allow mounts of an outer member of the slide device to be disposed within the slot openings to couple the slide device to the subframe bracket.

    Abstract: A configurable apparatus for vertical food roasting has a fixed centered anchor to support a removeable vertical pole or a removable vertical food skewer. Top section of vertical pole further supports interchangeable food hooks. When interchangeable food hooks are engaged, a variety of food items could be attached and cooked vertically above the surface of the configurable apparatus. Alternatively, when the removable vertical food skewer frame member is engaged, a removeable horizontal food grill could be installed onto the fixed centered anchor. Food items could be stacked in a vertical formation on the horizontal food grill and cooked in vertical fashion. High side wall of roasting apparatus catches all oil drips, and wide handles on either side of side wall allows for safe and stable movement and transfer of hot oil drips and roasted hot food items while they are engaged onto interchangeable food hook or vertical food skewer.

    Abstract: A vending machine system adapted to open and prepare a contained food item. The system includes a cabinet, a rack frame supported relative to the cabinet, a shelf coupled to the rack frame and configured to support a contained food item, a lid removal apparatus supported relative to the rack frame, and a food item actuator supported relative to the rack frame. The cabinet includes a refrigerated compartment housing the rack frame and a partition separating and selectively allowing access between the refrigerated compartment and a preparation compartment. The lid removal apparatus is configured to selectively retain a lid of the contained food item. The food item actuator is configured to move a container of the contained food item to the preparation compartment of the cabinet while the lid of the contained food item is retained by the lid removal apparatus subsequent to translation of the container.
