An automated belt cooking machine ( 10 ) for pancakes and the like food products has upper and lower overlapping, thermally conductive belts ( 12, 14 ), counter-rotatably mounted to a frame ( 16 ) so that, in use, a bottom run ( 30 ) of the upper belt ( 12 ) and a top run ( 32 ) of the lower belt ( 14 ) co-operate to convey food ( 40 ) to be cooked. The lower belt ( 14 ) extends a predetermined distance to one side of the upper belt ( 12 ) so as to provide a dispensing platform portion ( 38 ) for dispensing thereon the food to be cooked ( 40 ), so that the food ( 40 ) is conveyed towards a mouth ( 52 ) formed between the upper belt and lower belts ( 12, 14 ) and thereafter is conveyed sandwiched between the bottom and top run ( 30, 32 ). Upper and lower heating platens ( 26,28 ) are mounted to the frame ( 16 ) and are in thermal contact with the bottom and top run ( 30, 32 ), wherein the food to be cooked ( 40 ) is initially exposed to heat from the lower platen ( 28 ) conducted through the dispensing platform portion ( 38 ).
