Double deep, single width ovens for use in aircraft galleys

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide double deep, single width ovens for use in aircraft galleys. The ovens are particularly beneficial as they do not change current catering process or equipment, leading to their ease of acceptability and use in the airline galley design and development industry. The ovens may be used with two standard 32-meal carriers, such that the carriers are positioned front to back in the oven. Alternatively, 64-meal carriers may be developed that fit into the double deep oven as well.

1. A double deep oven designed for use on-board an aircraft that has a pressure bulkhead, the oven used for heating passenger meals and comprising:
a. an interior cooking chamber having a depth dimensioned to receive two standard 32-meal carriers in a front to back configuration within the double deep oven, the depth being greater than about 22.4 inches; b. an oven face that complies with industry standards for aircraft galley oven face height and width; wherein the double deep oven is positioned in an aft galley and mounted directly in front of the pressure bulkhead such that the depth of the oven uses empty space created by the pressure bulkhead.
