Title: TOASTER A toaster for heating both a frankfurter and a frankfurter bun is disclosed. The toaster has a frankfurter heating chamber having associated first heating elements for heating at least two opposed surfaces of a frankfurter placed in said frankfurter heating chamber and at least one bun heating chamber having an associated second heating element for heating at least one surface of a bun placed in said bun heating chamber. The toaster includes an elevator having a first portion for supporting the frankfurter in the frankfurter heating chamber and a second portion for supporting the bun in the bun heating chamber. A connecting means connects the first portion to said second portion and permits a limited amount of play between said first and second portion. In one embodiment the connecting means includes a generally upside down U-shaped link bar. The first portion circumferentially restrains the frankfurter for at least a lower half of the frankfurter while simultaneously allowing radiant heat from said first element means to impinge on said restrained lower half of said frankfurter. A means for raising and lowering the elevator in the toaster is also disclosed. In one embodiment the elevator may be removable from said toaster to allow cleaning and the like.
