Abstract
Integrated cooling, heating food preparation system has a food containing volume; a device to refrigerate food in that volume; a device to cook the refrigerated food in the same volume; and, optionally, a device to keep warm and/or refrigerate the cooked food in the same volume. The system is suitably controlled, preferably by remote control activation, for a few examples, through a public exchange computer communications system or by radio. The system can be embodied in a form in which the food containing/heating unit is placed in a pre-existing or modified refrigeration cabinet.
