Disclosed is an apparatus for preparing food, comprising a housing (3), an upward-radiating heating element (7), and a first supporting element (6) for food that can easily be roasted or toasted, e.g. bread. The first supporting element (6) can be placed on the housing above the heating element. Said apparatus can be a flatbed toaster, for example. The apparatus further comprises a second supporting element (9), e.g. a hot plate, which can be placed on the housing and/or the first supporting element. The apparatus is in a first operating mode for preparing food that is placed on the first supporting element. When the second supporting element is mounted, the apparatus is put in a second operating mode in which the heat output is reduced in order to keep food warm that is placed on the second supporting element. Preferably, the second supporting element is automatically identified, e.g. by means of a switch (8) that can be actuated by the second supporting element. |
