Abstract
A bun section toaster, in the usual case, has a frame supporting several parallel chain conveyors, each conveyor being effective to advance a related bun section through the frame in physical and thermal contact with a heating element on the frame to toast the top of the adjacent bun section. At least one of the conveyors, especially for a bun section from the bun center, receives and advances a tray having an aperture over which the bun center section lies. A radiant heating element on the frame is in position to radiate upwardly through the aperture onto the bottom of the center bun section so both sides of the section are toasted simultaneously. In the usual case, the toaster simultaneously accommodates a bun top section, center section and bottom section, although in some instances there is but a single conveyor and but the center section is handled.
