Dispensing units for baked products, in particular, baguettes, and devices for dispensing baked products which include a dispensing unit are described. Such dispensing units can be found, for example, in supermarkets, with a continuous baking oven being connected upstream of said dispensing units. At a customer's request by pushing on a button it is possible for various, freshly baked or crisped-up baked products to be dispensed from the dispensing unit.

The present invention relates to an oven comprising: a first and a second chamber and one heater per chamber to heat a gas which cooks a product, at least one gas circulation means, which establishes a gas circulation in one chamber, endless conveyor means for transporting products from an inlet through the chambers to the outlet, wherein the conveyor means are at least partially arranged in a helical path, separation means to separate the first and second chamber, wherein the conveyor means pass through the separation means, natural smoke gaseous supply which supplies gaseous smoke to at least one of the chambers, wherein the smoke supply is provided upstream from the circulation means.

Systems and methods for cutting and cooking a substance are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: convey, via a primary conveying subsystem, a layer of food substance along a conveyance path along which the layer of food substance is conveyed; cut, via a cutter, the layer of food substance into food pieces; apply, via a primary pressurized fluid outlet, primary pressurized fluid such that the food pieces are released from the cutter; heat, via the heating mechanism, a chamber; apply, via a secondary pressurized fluid outlet, secondary pressurized fluid so that the food pieces are held flat to the primary conveying substrate, and hold, via a secondary conveying subsystem, the layer of food substance flat between the primary conveying substrate and a secondary conveying substrate for at least a portion of the chamber.
