Abstract

A compact instant heating and cooling device has a cabinet that contains both a heating portion and cooling portion. A chilled water container is disposed within the cooling portion and is equipped with two parallel rollers which are turned by a motor. When a beverage is placed on the rollers, the beverage is rotated within the chilled water to provide very fast cooling. The heating portion uses a microwave to heat the food. A door allows entry into the heating portion and a cooling cover provides entry to the cooling portion. A compressor and coils are mounted in the cooling portion and are used to provide the necessary cooling. One embodiment utilizes solid state cooling and another embodiment uses solid state for both heating and cooling.
